    Yes, looks like they did move their players again.

    Is that
    a) A good sign for skybook
    b) A bad sign for BetPhoenix
    c) A little of both
    d) Who knows when it comes to these two outfits and be careful with your money offshore...blah blah blah

    It's a good sign for Skybook players. There usually isn't a great wagering offering when a postup uses a host that is primarily credit or PPH as EZbets was. But not much else can be read into it. Skybook has been content to downsize as their customer base goes down each season. Maybe they'll decide they have a product worth investing in now. We'll catch up with Phoenix and see if they have an interest or if it's a service providing relationship.

    agree skybook players should benefit with the move... Betphoenix is actually pretty good when they got thier sh!t together!

    does that mean skybook will allow book-to-book transfers? if so that's the best news i've heard all year.

    NEVER MIND THAT DOES THIS MEAN SKYBOOK WILL BE -105 LIKE BET PHOENIX IS

    It was probably time for Skybook to give up the ghost. So many people talking about the low caps on weekly withdrawals, etc.

    Now if Phoenix would just get back to where they were 6 months ago on money movment options (e-wallets that you could actually withdraw from, B2B transfers with top tier books), they would rise a notch or two in my view.

    Yes, if Phoenix got back to doing book-to-book transfers with other top dogs I would feel much, much better about all the money I have in there.

    As long as they still have their 1/2 point on NFL, I'll still be happy.

    It seems skybook is now using betphoenix software and all lines are the same too but if you request a payout from your skybook they send you to skybook rep Rob Sanders
    Rob Sanders the max payout is only ****ing $1000, skybook doesn't even do book transfers with bephoenix
    Seems like what has been posted in the forums about skybook financial problems is very much true

    I logged into Skybook with my Betphoenix account number, and it showed my BP balance. That could only happen if Skybook is gone, right? (I certainly didn't give BP permission to show my balance in Skybook). So if Skybook has vaporized into thin air, then their payout limits should no longer apply. Am I missing something?

    don't know what is going on; seems like skybook should make some sort of statement on their website or on here .

    I'm not using Skybook. I'm just saying that my BP balance shows up in Skybook, when I enter my BP account number at Skybook.

    So if there is no longer a Skybook, how can their limits still be in effect? I would talk to Betphoenix about this.

    Lots of books would love to do B2B with TheGreek. There is a reason TheGreek doesn't allow it!

    I was a grandfathered 107 at skybook. I always liked the place. They were awesome during nappy headed ho season. I finally left when my funds were held hostage because they could not use ewallets and they stopped transfers to Oly.

    I think i had to scalp it out to get paid. Painful process. All the CS were some of friendliest u could find. If they could transfer with Phoenix and had different lines....

    I agree

    Why have an account at skybook since now their lines now are 100% the same as betphoenix?
    Actually some of their lines is even worse than bepheonix, skybook mlb first half totals I believe are 15 cents

    I collected 3,800 dollars from sky book in 18 days. That was the best they can do right now with 1,000 max on **'s and 850 max on **. They did pay though but slowly this was just this past month.

    wire and cheque should is still available according to rep I spoke too. He also said that coming soon there will be more options to deposit and withdraw money. Maybe they will offer the same methods as the phoenix group, betvenus and any other shop that use the phoenix platform.

    At least the bigger books taking over the smaller ones instead of just closing up and stiffing players.

    Skybook is a book on a decline and would eventually go down
