Sportsbook Skybook vs 5dimes, Beted

[purecarnagge]

I got upset with 5 dimes the other week and won't use them any more. although they do have alot of betting options.

I want to use a book that has echeck deposit method. Currently I tried beted, and they were terrible. They don't allow you to buy points on parlays and only have 6,6.5, 7 and 10pt teaser options. Personally I like having more teaser options availble to me. I also enjoy being able to make my own teasers by teasing some games more points than other games in my parlays. Example. Tease a +10pt spread to -14 tease a -7 spread to -3 , tease a -3.5 to -3. They won't allow you to do that.

Will Skybook allow you to do that? I'm looking for a book with good lines, that allows alot of parlays and teaser options. Preferably one that accepts echeck! I hate wasting 1 hour to do a moneygram or western union deposit.

Looks like you already did your homework on BetEd and 5Dimes. So lets breakdown Skybook for you a bit more.

Skybook has been around since 1997 and has a "B-" rating here at SBR. Currently they have no outstanding complaints against them either which is always a positive when looking for a book.

Even though I feel their lines are really plain. They do offer that free half point promotion (up to $500), but you can't use it on spreads of 3 or 7 points.

As far as teasers and buying points goes. In football they do offer the 6, 6.5, 7, and 10 point teasers and in basketball they offer 4, 4.5, 5, and 7 point teasers (They offer other exotic ones as well, but checkout their website for them). They will also let you buy points at .10 cents unless your buying on or off "3", and then its .25 cents.

They do accept [ISBRFORUM]Echecks[/ISBRFORUM] currently like your looking for, but they limit you to only $300 every two weeks. I think their withdraw fees are a little outrageous, but they do pay!

Skybook has echeck and variety of teasers (see below). You can buy points, but not on pars. Skybook gives you a free 1/2 point on football except on/off 3 and 7. On Fridays, you get a free 1/2 point on Baskets:

yah I've seen them. I'm a recreational player. So I'm looking for someone with a good bonus program. currently if you deposit on mon-friday you get a 100 bonus play. 5x roll over (pretty common roll over).

Whats going to be a site thats more friendly to my options of wanting to be able to buy points at will on parlays, yet still have a good bonus program for someone like me who is a casual guy looking to do about a 250.00 deposit (to net 500 at skybook). Basically I'm looking to start off with 5dimes and do 20-50 bets.

Basically I'm looking for good reload/deposit bonus with someone whose willing to take echeck. I guess its not required that they take echecks, its just more convient.

I don't like the ideas of not being able to buy points on parlays. More than I'm worried about Echecks at this point.

why you all use sub par books is beyond belief

[purecarnagge]

Is there another book that I should be looking into. I want strong bonuses. I want to be paid in a timely manner usually within 1 week of making the request preferablly withing 1-3 days.

I want good betting options with my parlays and teasers. This is where alot of books seem to be lacking.

Preferably they take an echeck deposit.

Very few book take echecks . Only 3 take it that I know of. What you're asking for is a fantasy, I thought you were serious. You want bonuses, echecks, paid in 3 days, etc...
Good luck with that, and thanks for wasting my time.

Thats assuming your willing to pay for **/Moneygram. If your requesting a check then I'm willing to wait for it to come. But I see no reason in waiting for weeks to pick up a **/moneygram request.

I'm actually suprised by how many books don't allow you to buy lines down or up on parlays. How many books do. I don't really like matchbook too well but its ok for live betting.

Bookmaker is out.

There chat person online told me to call wagering who referred me to customer service since I don't have an account. Who referred me back to wagering because it was a wagering question.

They don't know if they allow you to buy points on a parlay.

So what are some other legit books out there that will allow you to buy multiple points on a parlay, and have various teaser options.

Bookmaker allows point buying on NFL parlays.

[purecarnagge]

ok, here is what I was told when I called bookmaker. I don't know I think we do. I asked if they would do it online. They said they didnt know to contact wagering.

At this point I got on livechat as well.

Live chat advised me they didn't allow lines to be bought from parlays.

Wagering then advised me you could buy 2 or 3 pts but you had to call in and do it over the phone.

I called I got 3 different answers and nobody seemed to know the answer to my questions.

Edit

I hope this thread dies I will make a new thread. Hopefully more constructive description for the beginning of the thread.
