They're better than Hansabet.

Their limit on free 1/2 pt bet is $500. They're useful for football season, especially college (only protect 3 and 7 from the free 1/2 pt). They have free book-to-book transfers in and out with Olympic and CRIS. I requested yesterday that they add WSEX and Matchbook. They're a good second layer book, but I wouldn't use them as a main book. Free half point in football is a lot.

do they still offer free half point for basketball? I think max was 300?

Not sure if they are still offering it, but there used to be a reduced juice option (-107) for bases, foots and hoops. I believe you had to surrender the option of any bonuses to get the reduced. Also, it wasn't posted anywhere, you had to ask for it in chat or on the phone.

Also, the free 1/2pt was only on Fridays, except for football, and I believe you can't move on/off of 3 or 7 on football.

They've been good to me - never had any problems with payouts or collars, and they don't post bad lines and leave them for 30 minutes like 5 Dimes.

Fast payouts? I'm still waiting for my neteller requested over the weekned,for a lousy $1000.

This is the maximum withdrawal now and they kept the $15 fee.Their withdrawals now are more expensive than at Cris.

forgot about the fee on withdrawals- they must be one of the only books to not offer some type of free option.

I do plan on playing there this fb season, but it'd be nice to have a free option.

Do they cover fees on **/moneygram deposits?

News for me. I always got Neteller withdrawals from them in 24h ( altough it's about three months that i don't have withdraw ) I will request one now and see, thanks for your info.

You are right about the 1K limit. That's not good but at least, unlike DPT, you can still get Neteller withdrawals ( altough $15 for 1K is too much ).

While I posted a pos report on Skybook a few posts up, I may be changing my opinion.

They do not reply in a prompt way (3 days and running) to an emailed question.

Their Live Help suks. Click it on, ask your question, and their screen disapears.

I'm assuming they have a ** and ** deposit and wd option, but I don't see those mentioned, specifically.

And the other poster who mentioned WD fees higher than CRIS (and Cris books) is another downer. Nice to get the half point, but I may pass on them this year. (I won a small amount from then LY, not enough for them to offer a cold shoulder. Bewildering.)
