Skybook Review
Skybook is another in a long list of British bookie software sites that have emerged, after the recent shutdown of the US Online sportsbook industry. For those unfamiliar, the US Department of Justice has shutdown a plethora of online betting and poker sites since May of 2011, in an attempt to reduce the amount of online gambling. As a result, many former US shops have reopened their doors under European addresses. Meanwhile, new British shops are being introduced online, with a catch concept, such as Skybook. Here is a review of this new site.
Skybook is the home of the free half point system, which means, that the bettor can receive a lot more value for their money, then what they normally would. The free half point, allows for you to move the point spread line on NFL and NBA games just enough, that you don’t get cheated by the juice price set down by the line makers. In other words, the free half point gives you better value, then if you were to join a site such as matchbook, which requires that you pay juice for them to match you with a sportsbook of your choice.
Aside from the free half point, Skybook also provides its clientele with the option of a good initial deposit, and is one of the safest and most secure sportsbooks, that also provides a good payout. These latter two points can’t be stressed enough, as far too many times a shop will advertise that it provides safe and secure depositing methods, but then makes it difficult for the client to collect the winnings from their account. On the other hand, the bad part of Skybook is that because it spends so much time offering point value and quick payouts, it hasn’t really spent much attention on things such as the site layout.
