    Thanks for the bonus sky
    WHen i checked my neteller account this morning. I noticed there seemed to be $2500 more than I expected. After a closer look, it appeared that skybook may have paid me twice on the same withdrawal request. I check my sky acocunt and the balance there was correct. So I called skybook to aks if they might have accidentally duped a payment. I was really hoping that they would come back and say all was good, therw were no mistakes, and somehow I was just $2500 richer. But they called back a coulple of hours later to say that I was right, and that they had paid me twice. So they asked me to send the money back. But what was really nice was that they offered me a $250 free play bonus with no roll required. That was a nice little bonus

      Had the same thing happen to me a few years ago. WSEX overpaid me and I sent them their money back. They showed their appreciation by offering me a 10% bonus with a 2X roll. It's so easy to give the money back when the books are First Class Books like Skybook and WSEX. Good job Marc...I'm sure a lot of people in your shoes would have just kept the money.

          Nice job guys. There was a poster at another site that played MOV on the SB. Right after the game they paid him correctly on hitting Pitt's MOV but they also paid him for Sea winning by 11. He immediately requested his money. Fortunately he was caught but he tried to steal.

                        imgv94,

                        I think you are being very short sighted. If you keep the money, you cna never go back, becuase you will never know if and when they discover thier mistake. So if it's a book you like your ebtter off giving them the money back.

                        Also sports betting isn't suppose to be about the player trying to screw the bokie, and the bookie trying to screw the player. It should just be, the bookie sets the line, player places the bet, winner gets the money. Each side shouldn't be thinking how they can rob the other.

                        Let's say you go to a grocery store, and the cashier give you too much change, do you retunr the money, or is the attitude also to screw the store and keep the money.

                        MAybe I'm a hypocrite because I'll take advanatge of weak lines and grab any bonus I can, but I think at some point you have to draw the line. Especially if a book has always dealt fairly with me, I'll del fairly with them in kind.
