Default Skybook?

Anybody here have any positive or negative experiences with Skybook? I am considering opening an account there for the free half points (which I think is an insane offer, by the way).

I have never used them, but SBR gives them a decent rating (B+..i know that they are not all knowing..but usually pretty spot on). And from what I recall on the SSB website there were never any complaints from the members when Skybook was discussed.

Default I checked the fine print...

... and as with most offers, it is not nearly as nice as it appears on the surface. But I am still interested to hear of good or bad experiences with them. I know SBR has them a B+ with no details. I have seen mostly good feedback on other forums, with a few complaints about their bonus rules.

tech-

i use them. they are a MUST have during the basketball season IMO. here is the skinny:

1) quick payouts
2)free half point is only good up to $500 wager
3) no free payouts
4) dont post thier lines till about 9-10am the day of the game (hoops)
5) cant get free 1/2 on/off 3 or 7 in the NFL
6) half point is good on sides only (no totals)
7) offer "ties win" on NFL teasers
8) if you go lose whatever cash you have placed there or are done with a deposit rollover, they will offer a deposit bonus.
9) offer affiliater program (i have no experiance with this)

if you decide to go with them, let me know. i would gladly take the RAF bonus

I like them, and I've been using them a lot recently. They offer 10% initial bonus. To qualify for the 1/2, you must open an account with at least $500.

I love the free half point, and they have also been sending me all kinds of free stuff in the mail. I've gotten coffee from them, and they just sent me a tailgating grill. I haven't cashed out yet, but they seem to be a well trusted book, and I do my research.

I also added them to my list of books here -

Thanks for the info Sublime. I'm not crazy about the restrictions, so I am still undecided. I'll shoot you a PM if I sign up.
