Moving towards Skybook with there free half point system.
Both safe, does it really matter?

I would agree with BetJM being the better book of the two. You just can't go wrong with a Spiro backed book IMO.

If you intend to use it for baseball, Jam is far better.
The only thing Sky has is the half on Fridays only. ** seems the only way to draw out, from what I hear lately.

This is a no-brainer, betjamaica is significantly better. The skybook withdrawal fees are ridiculous for US players.

also consider Matchbook and 5Dimes, to get some lower vig, which is comparable to that free half.

before TSHTF Skybook used to send out 100% $500 bonus reload offers, gone a bit quiet at the moment, but probably worth signing up with and making a few bets, just in case they start again with the bonus's

That's true, they have ( had ?) an option for -107, but then no free half-point.
I'd go with -105 at 5D or Matchbook to beat that -107 instead. Either are widely considered better than SKY.
So that leaves a free half one day a week, and higher than average fees to withdraw.
Jamaica has a loyalty program, so they are more like -109.
I used to like Skybook a lot. I still think they are safe, but I don't bet there anymore.
After hoops is over,I see little reason to play there, as Jam,5D,MB are much superior for baseball.
Sky isn't great for hockey either, with no puckline.
For me the half isn't worth it. I can often take a line a half worse at Matchbook for +100 ( like -102), that washes out the free half.

IMO, here's what Skybook does wrong:
They give you a small reason to maybe keep just a tad of money there, to use on Friday only.
They should give you a reason to keep more there, and use them as a regular out, and have a check provider so you can get paid for about $30.
Until they do something like this, they will just get smaller, as there is less and less reason to re-up there.
5D did some things to give you a reason to play there... the low juice on hoops and hockey, and bases. They are a good option for those playing under $500, which is what Skybook also markets to.
I think it will be a long summer for Skybook.

pags your so right, I think BetJamiaca and the Greek are the ones that don't have the payout problems that everyone else is having, they are the ones that was well prepared for this when almost everyone else wasn't. I give them lots of credit and is a true A+ when everyone else is lower than that!

isn't skybook affiliated with the betmania thugs
if they are, skybook is obviously an outfit to avoid.

louis, in today's environment, skybook isn't horrible, it's just a book I'd consider playing with right now...they'll pay you eventually, but they just don't make the cut for me...nothing like betjam, wsex or bookmaker (legendz is even much better)...
