SkyBook Review

SkyBook Review Details

Background:
Skybook has been up and running online since 1997, and is located in San Jose, Costa Rica. They pride themselves on prompt payouts, an exceptional customer service staff, multiple wagering options, and some of the best promotions in the business.

Site Information:
The home page of the website looks very sharp, and is very appealing to the eye. It’s set up perfectly with all the pertinent information spaced throughout. Contact information is located on the upper right hand portion of the screen with all the sites sections located right below. The member login is on the top of the left hand of the screen with icons for sign-up, deposit, and promotions right below. The bulk of the main page is directed towards the prospective client, and is set up perfectly to answer any and all questions. A section for current events in sports is located at the bottom of the page called the Skybook News Blog.

Software:
Once logged in, navigating throughout the site was a breeze. Putting in and confirming wagers was a pleasure, as it didn’t take a bunch of steps to finalize the transaction. There’s a multiple wagers option icon on the upper left hand side of the screen which allows for faster wagering in multiple sports that some sportsbooks don’t believe is necessary. It’s nice to know Skybook does, and a major thumbs up goes out to the company in this department. Another unique option offered is the confirmed wager screen on the left hand side that aids all clients in remembering what they put in already without having to leave the main wagering section of the site.

Lines/Juice:
Skybook institutes the –110 juice policy on all straight bets, and a 10-cent line for baseball that progresses with the larger chalks. They’d much rather play with the juice than change the betting line, so be on the look-out for good values. They also tend to keep competitive lines on favorites, so this is definitely one of the books to have on file if you like to roll with the chalk. The only negative is the lack of college basketball totals offered in lower profiled games that most likely occurs in college football as well.

Sports and Bets offered:

Customer Support:
Their customer service was top notch, and answered every question in a timely manner via e-mail. They’re very courteous over the telephone, and the live chat program was very helpful whenever utilized.
