Hate Betmania and Skybook with a passion. Yes- they will pay from what i hear. But they blatently lied to me to get me to deposit quarenteed me $5000 limits. Then limited me to $250 after 1 bet when i still had to do a rollover. Maybe they will pay but so far out of all the books i have played at these people were the only ones who backstabbed me.

Betmania freaking calls me more thanany other book looking for deposits..and yes..they even call mmire than youwager. Not even sure why they call so much. I only made one deposit ever at that book and it was over a year ago.

Yes that may be true when i think of it but at least when Youwager upped the totals for me to $3000 on nba and college they did not lower it on me. But even after Betmania and Skybook Fkd me andf i told them how much i hated then and stop calling because i will never deposit there they still called non-stop for awhile.

I ran a casino bonus upto over 5 g's and had to forfeit $3,000 of it becuase of a max cashout rule, (my own fault for failing to read the fine print but still turned me off from depositng again. They also did this check back tomorrow bullcrap on live chat for a week with me, took 5 business days to get a p2p. this was years ago. They called me late in the football season a few times 100% freeplay upto a dime with a 30 day hold. If you're flush with cash not a bad route but defiently rank them at the bottom of my list.

**jjgold** · 04-13-14, 07:20 AM

I told them to stop calling me and end my accounts at both Betmania and Skybook. They said Ok but kept calling and never ended either. Finally i said if you call again i will act interested in depositing and waste as much time as i can for you. You blatently lied to me and do not respect my wishes and after flat out screwing me you have the nerve to call asking for more. They finally ended my accounts after that and i have not been called. But this was not that long ago so hopefully they will just rot in hell and go away.

I might have to employ that strategy if they call me again

never trust a guy with 2ns in kenn lol

**Triumph** · 04-13-14, 10:59 AM

They pay when you win, quick p2p's when I request them, that's what matters to me.

**bostonboss** · 04-13-14, 11:01 AM

they do pay. ive been paid everywhere I played except for ESB they stiffed me in the end....but I was ahead on them at the time too so it happens. wagerweb/rebatewager/sbg global/legendz/betmania all paid.

I do not care even if it is in their rules if a sportsbook makes a deal with you to get you to deposit and you have to do a rollover no book should limit you when you are still trying to get the rollover. They even admitted they were wrong and the guy had no right to do that. That is not my problem he works for you . They did not even try to work with me and meet me half way they dropped it all the way to $250.

The guy that Fd me over called me from a place called uswager365 and left a message. Trying to get me to deposit. I get this story that he quit because of what they did to me. Of course i did not deposit there . Then like a month later he leaves another message trying to get me to deposit except this time he was back at Betmania . I do not trust any of those lying bastards.

So they did stiff you. How much was it for? Glad you got paid before that but still if you won that is your money.

**bostonboss** · 04-13-14, 11:16 AM

English sports betting stiffed me.....many years ago......it was somewhere around 2k at the end it took them 5 months to pay me...they sent me a check....it was a bouncer....never heard from them again they folded.

Sorry misread that thought you meant Skybook. That sucks that is a nich chunk of change you can but 2000 packs of Hot dogs with that if they are on sale for .99 .

**bostonboss** · 04-13-14, 11:32 AM

ive never played at skybook...just betmania

**Triumph** · 04-13-14, 12:07 PM

Ive play at Sky/Pheonix and Mania for five years without an issue, the only problem was with their NCAA Bracket contest, I had the best entry, picked UConn to win the Championship, should have taken 1st place. It was pathetic
the way they graded it, 2nd round picks got the same number of points as picking the Championship winner

None of the meat heads who won even had UConn reaching the final 4.

**JAKEPEAVY21** · 04-13-14, 01:43 PM

I dont fukkin believe it! Just yesterday I went on live chat and asked to be taken off the call list for the tenth time and I get cold called again today! I went berserk on the guy and told him take me off the list, never call again and ill never deposit there!

Does not surprise me. Tell them like i did that you will just waste their time as long as you can each time they call you.

I was already in a bad mood after listening to someone vent to me on the phone for a half hour then the guy happens to call the day after i ask for them never to call me? I flipped out on the guy lol poor timing to call me sir.

**JAKEPEAVY21** · 04-13-14, 05:11 PM

I just asked them to cancel/delete my account and she told me it is now disabled..I'm sure they will still call me next week.

**lecubs28** · 04-13-14, 05:42 PM

really shitty book, i would never play there

If they call you again we should start calling them every day. I will call first and say I am Dick Clark i would like to place a bet . Then you will call 2 minutes later and say i am Ed McMahon have you seen Dick Clark. We will do this 20 times an hour.

Yes but like i said my issue has nothing to do with them not paying. My issue is them flat out lying to get me to deposit. To go from a $5000 limit to a $250 limit when i have to still do a rollover is beyond shitty. What is worse after i won that bet i actually in the casino won a bunch which did not matter because the screwed me with the rollover .

**jjgold** · 04-14-14, 05:59 AM

Lets give them a C rating??

**JoeyBagels** · 04-14-14, 07:29 AM

Avoid IMO. The cold calling is the worst part. If you block their numbers they just try from different area coses (new york, washington, etc.) They don't take you off call list even if you ask.

**jjgold** · 04-15-14, 06:04 AM

Why do people give books their real number>?? I never have in 12 years

**relaaxx** · 04-15-14, 08:48 AM

the more i read about this group the more i don't like them.

They literally cost me a really good chance to get to $10000 . After i deposited and hit the 1st bet i was at like $1500 or so. Then i went in casino and worked it up to around $7000 . At the time i thought i had the limits promised me. The casino winnings did not count toward rollover . This was at Betmania (They also run Skybook). The i found out my limits were put at $250. If i had the limits promised i would have hit the next game which would have been for $2000 . That would have put me at $9000 .But since they limited me i started just betting aggressive trying to hit the rollover on a shitload of games. I lost a bunch there and ended up going into the casino again because i was so pissed they did that to me.

They need to keep cash coming in to survive just like every book needs to.
