#2First off, Welcome to the SBR forum sir.
Skybook (SBR Rated B) currently has no outstanding or processing complaints levied against them at this time. I noticed that they are currently offering a 50% free play ( max. $250/5x rollover ) sign up bonus. Also, here are a few of the deposit methods they are currently accepting at this time: Western Union, Moneygram ($200+ min. to pickup fees ), EcheckS ($300 max./14-day hold), ****/** (hit or miss).
Here are the baseball price breakdowns:
-100 / -144 = 10 cents
-150 / -194 = 15 cents
-200 / -204 = 20 cents
-215 / -299 = 30 cents
-240 / -289 = 40 cents
-300 / -304 = 50 cents
-315 / -379 = 60 cents
-400 / -479 = 80 cents
Overnight Lines: Still undecided
Run Lines: YES
Reverse Run Lines: NO
5-inning lines: YES
Reduced Juice Totals: NO
Reduced Juice RLs: NO
Grand Salami Totals: NO
Team Totals: YES
The re-up bonuses suck if you are up with them over the course of your lifetime. In fact here is something I wrote up a few days ago about Skybook.
Please keep in mind they they are a recreational book that will collar you if you start to win at a pretty good clip.Comment -

#4Payouts quick.
Lines not particularly competitive.
CRIS and bookmaker are the same - as are other sites eg diamond. Transfers from CRIS incur a $100 fee but are pretty much instantaneous - not sure if skybooks charge for transfers going the other way.Comment -

#6They do book-to-book transfers with Cris/BookMaker and TheGreek. Now as far as the fees go, I'm not sure at offhand. Although I do believe they are free or minimal. However, the incoming fees from Skybook to Cris/BookMaker will cost you a fee.Originally posted by SeƱor Papithank you. do you know where they transfer to? i see it says to cris. is that the same as bookmaker. is there any feesComment -

However if you do, just fill out a complaint form and one of us will inquire on your behalf to them.Originally posted by SeƱor Papiby the way, if i get lucky and win a ton from skybook sportsbook, do you think they will pay me every penny?Comment -

#11I got my money same day I requested pay out. 40.00 processing fee. Thats not bad considering I got it ** same day and other companies are charging more for checks mailed that you won't received for two weeks.

#13You should go with an A+ book. Skybook is a good book but they are not in the class of A rated books. If you think you can run your balance up or maybe you are going to be making some larger bets then you should go for a stronger book imo.Originally posted by SeƱor Papiby the way, if i get lucky and win a ton from skybook sportsbook, do you think they will pay me every penny?Comment -

#14Glad to see you jump in on this John. They really make no attempt to make that next leap. They won't add Moneybookers to aid Canadians (and themselves) and the software is just atrocious at times.Originally posted by SBR_JohnYou should go with an A+ book.

However, the customer service is fantastic and they pay and on time.Comment -

#15To add to what everyone else has said,They will always pay and in a time frame standard for post neteller era
If you are a large player than go with one of the A+ booksComment -

#16John and Katstale,
I would have suggested that myself, however that wasn't the question asked originally.
Mr.Frank, You are correct. Overnights are for ML's only (no runlines or team totals). The max. is $500 on O/N's
As far as the fees question I wasn't sure about last night. There are no fees charged by Skybook.
On a side note.... Katstale, They still do not accept Moneybookers.
