I was happy to read your last statement. I think you now understand our perspective. Why pay these ridiculous agent commisions. The only thing an agent guarantees is that when they get shorted big the book will get shorted big. We do not need to pay an agent a commision per bet for a client
Thanks for the questions

I DID POST UP WITH YOUR OUT AFTER YOUR DECISION TO GET RID OF AGENTS.I HAVE NO WORRIES THAT YOU ARE AS SOLID OR I WOULDNT HAVE WIRED MONEY TO YOU. SINCE YOU ARE ON THE SCREEN AND YOUR NUMBERS ARE PLAYABLE YOU ARE A VALUABLE OUT INDEED.I PROMPTLY RECEIVED A 10 PERCENT BONUS WHICH WAS PLACED IN MY ACCOUNT. UNFORTUNATELY AFTER A BAD RUN I REQUESTED A PAYOUT AND MY BONUS WAS TAKEN AWAY. THE REASON GIVEN WAS THAT I DIDNT LEAVE THE MONEY IN FOR 60 DAYS. MY ACCOUNT IS STILL OPEN. IF I RE-UP CAN I GET MY BONUS BACK? BY THE WAY I WASNT TOLD OF THE RULE WHEN I SIGNED UP.

Im sorry you werent told about how the bonus works. It is pretty standard amongst the books that offer it. Since I can tell you are highly educated in the field of gambling im sure you can understand the problem with the bonus. There are of course those people out there who think they thought of some grand scheme. They send 20k to the book get 22k in there account and request the money in a few weeks after a few token plays. 10% on your money in a month is pretty nice. I wish I could get that interest. I would have all my money invested in that. We
appreciate your faith in us.If you ever need anything I can help you with ask for me personally.
Thanks Steve

And your NBA totals will be coming out when?

[Skybook]

Our totals will come out the same time all other books put them out. We need to see the first week or so to determine what an accurate total should be. Like in every sport though skybook will be amongst the first to post a line

We must also be ready for the world famous NBA total guru. The guy that invented a progrma to make books go broke with his NBA totals

Bad excuse............

You guys are clowns!!!!!!!!!!

The only reason you got rid of the credit players was you just held them up anyway. You never took a bet from them. So why have them call you and bother you all day if you were just going to stall them.

You did the right thing. We stoped calling you guys because it became stupid to call a book and get held up and told that games on hold everytime we called!! Your book was of no use to me and many other serious betters!!

You understand that all these players will never post up money with Skybook (NOT BECAUSE OF NOT GETTING PAID) but because of the way we were treated!! You don't want our action!! You want to be like the rest of these sucker only outs!!

Also I thought this was a requirement to be on Don Best. This is what Dana told me many times!!! Did this change? If you stoped taking wiseguy action why would you qualify to be on the screen? You are of no use to anyone anymore. Who wants to look at a line that just copys all the others.

My Problem is you want people to think you guys are "The place where the pros play" but now have none playing there. Another joke in this industry. Another false claim to promote this book.

Why do the people who read these posts let people say things that are not true, and then complement them on how good they are.

Word of the day: CLOWNS

I just reveiewed your reply and if you give me a moment I will have an answer for you
Thanks Steve

Skybook,

You don't have to answer me. I would never post up at Skybook. Your book was the worst place I have ever called.

Good luck in your new direction?

It's a lot easier isn't it......

Thank you for finally speaking only for yourself.We were the worst place you ever called. You seemed to have appointed yourself the speaker for this mysterious group of people in your last repsonse. Since we all know you are only speaking for yourself , it makes much more sense to say I and not We.
I was already in the middle of my response so Ill send it anyway. Im sure it will help you in many ways. Give me a monent please
Thanks Steve

'who is we' in the we stopped calling you. are you speaking for yourself or of a group of people. i find it hard to believe a group of people choose you to represent them, because you handle yourself very unprofessionally. i don't plan on going back and forth with you trading insults, that is not how this corporation works. i will try once again to help you get to the bottom of your problem with the company. you again spoke of yourself and many other serious bettors. again i ask that you only speak on your behalf.
in the past i read that you were with a sportsbook. what book would that be? we will gladly trade accounts with you and whatever you take from us we will take from you. it is also unfair of you to talk in any way about why our corporation made changes and how it benefits us. you obviously do not or could not have any knowledge of our company since you don't work here. you are incorrect again with the ridiculous atatement that we stopped taking wiseguy action. ***skybook has always been and always will be open to all customers*** again you show lack of knowledge with your don best statements. we have a perfect working relationship with dana and all the people with don best. they are happy with us and we couldn't be happier with them.
skybook is first to go up in many areas and besides taking large bets we also take the smallest bets. i think this aspect of our company goes overlooked and we should be commended for it.
our minimum bet always has been $25 since day one. we don't feel it our right to tell someone how much they can afford to lose. we value all our clients equally regardless of their financial standing in our society. the guy that can only afford to lose $25 should be able to enjoy the game as much as a limit only player as yourself. (remember 'everything is relevant').
you also don't read enough of this site. many clients enjoy seeing our lines. anyone that sees don best knows we stand alone in more line variations than anyone else. ask around about our baseball lines since you again lack the knowlegde in this area or when and how fast our halftime lines are out or how much we take on run line, something that 70% of the books don't even offer.
skybook never claimed to be better than anyone either. more lack of knowledge in your statement. we feel everyone up on that don best screen is our equal and collegue, as well as all the other books that are not up there. and we have a perfect working relationship with all of them.
now back to you feeling you were treated unfairly here. i can apologize for that and try to see why. again, if you think we are scared of your action i can assure you we are not. like i said before we will gladly trade accounts with your book and gladly let you set the limits. the word 'hold' you will never hear. please remind me again what book you are with because i remember thinking months ago, when you were writing in this site, how unprofessional it was coming from someone that represented another sportsbook. i must say in your defence, the person responding to you from our company was just as unprofessional and will not be involved in this site again. i also apologize for his remarks. Like i said earlier we find this site very helpful as do all the other readers and would love to help you. i can tell you again you will not be put on hold. we welcome your action and we would love to do the trade between our company and yours.
i notice from your address you are also on margarita island. i guess with some of the smaller books. i only know of a couple. playersonly.com is a top notch 100% professional operation owned and run by some of my best friends in the world. a fine company who we have had a working relationship with since day one and we rate them as one of the finest books out there, precisely due to their professionalism. so you obviously don't work there.
please get back to me and let me know if i can further help in answering any of your questions and if you would like to trade company accounts. like i said we would welcome your company aboard on the long list of offshore books we deal with. feel free to call me personally at 888 skybook. i would love to help you. i could talk to you over the phone or since your book seems to be right here on the island we could even meet for a "polar" and try to settle whatever difference you have with the skybook corporation.

thanks for your response,
hope i can help you some more

Polar, how big a percentage would you say of all players in off shore books are wiseguys? as opposed to the regular players. All players who are wiseguys are not suckers either. These players are serious, they're serious about their opinions on games, serious enough to wager money on these opinions. We provide these players the service to do that. For that we charge 10%. Every player has a 50-50 chance of being right. The difference is that wiseguys don't care about opinions or every who is playing, they just look at the numbers and math equations to see what they want, they manipulate the very market that the regular players have created to further there own needs. There's nothing wrong with that, but saying that a book is computer only, and chicken **it BS solely because they won't take your action is wrong.

If a player only wants to be a follower of the moves and scalp numbers there are places for him, as there are places that take both and places that want regular players. All other places besides the first kind I mention ed are not Chicken sh** . It's a business targeting a certain market, what's wrong with that?
