Skybet, dont!!

I have lost the only few hundred ive had to my name at Skybet
over the last few months.
It seems any number on roulette becomes "cold" if u bet on it
and the results are so far from the law of averages that ive
vowed to warn everyone.
Poker....is AS bad! monsters vs. monsters all the time! the
almost impossible happens regularly!
i trust www.skybet.com = 0.00% - none! nil !
Anyone like slots? on 40p per spin i lost £60 without a win
bigger than £1 on Snakes and Ladders.
They con addicts and avids by having a huge variety of games...
they show u what the features are like......then almost never
give u them again.  i would rather chance winning money on
a pub fruit machine thats just paid out jackpot.
My advice, dont play here, whether they are on an 800 TV
channel or not.  i think they try and play God and someone
has told the biscuit living thiefs that i dont deserve any luck
at all......my account has been suspended and im in debt at the
bank.
AVOID SKYBET....NICE LOOKING FRUIT, NOT MANY TASTE GOOD!!!!
BAD BAD BAD! BAD BEATS, BAD LUCK, INCREDIBLE NUMBER OF LACKLUSTRE
SPINS AND ROULETTE SOMEHOW HITS ALL THE NUMBERS U DONT BET ON.....
UNTIL 0.00!!!  tell all plz....Skybet is stealing company who deliver 13% or less odds.

my account has been suspended and im in debt at the
bank.

Whos fault is that then?
Sounds to me either 2 things,no.1 you need to see G.A for your addiction and no.2 you obviously cant play poker and your over extending your budget

totally agree, if your broke then it isnt the casinos fault, they did not hold a gun to your head and make you spend your money you really do need help, as we all know you may not get a feature for ages then maybe get a few in a sort period, first rule of any gambling, bet what you can afford to lose, hence why we use n/d bonuses lol.

Accepted...i was saying im in debt at the bank
is my fault, but i could have played elsewhere.
I might have had better luck changing casino,
rather than trusting my luck would change.
ive had a lot of success at poker and this im
in profit on overall by £££££. my money has been lost
on roulette which i swear is fixed!!

If u bet on 6 numbers, u have a 1 in 6.2
chance of winning with there being 37
numbers on a wheel.
I bet 12 numbers where 2 are fat wins,
4 are triple profit and 6 are slight profit.....
1 in 3ish should be a win, Skybet = 1 in 6 at best!
including on several occasions my account
going to zero in as quicker time as possible.
After this happens repeatadily on numerous
occasions, its hard not to imagine a
pair of sniggering hygena's picking which
numbers to miss u with.
Poker there is rubbish and the best hand
hardly ever holds up.....
....and with no software and it all being
online, u have to keep putting in your
password pin every time it times out
after 15mins.
So go ahead and play here, but i wanted
to tell people that i think this casino stinks!
If u play here, i hope your luck is better
than mine - luck being not applicable, they
cheat... or at least they may like u more than me!

does anyone work for skybet? u guys above? lol
::)

play only if you can afford it and do not gamble till you run out of money...then its an addict. there's more life than gambling. trust me, playing at the casino does not make you rich and i mean wealthy.

but again, you are responsible for your own act. so everything that you do, you must accept the consequenses.

and if you decide to go on...read more blogs at this site about some tips to play.

Good Luck and Keep it Fun

I too have lost a bunch of money at these online casinos.  Never played @ skybet, so I can't form an opinion on them.
WHat I have learned is this--don't gamble REAL money that you couldn't otherwise afford to thow away...
Don't deposit real money into an online casino that has a bad reputation (mostly, but not all, RGT's)...
The only ones I do trust are Microgaming sites, sadly I cannot play there (Big Flash, my FAV) anymore as they no longer accept players from the USA.
So, all I do is redeem free chips wherever I'm allowed & save my bankroll to do some REAL betting at a REAL casino 40 miles from my home.  At least there I feel I'm getting my money's worth, AND there's a REAL chance I can walk out with more real money than I walked in with.
Happy gaming & good luck all!

i have an account at sky bet and i can honestly say i have not cashed out once on there casino games now i have only deposited about £100 (talking 10ers at a time total) and not really got over 20 pounds. I like their slots infact there alot like like the slots i play in my local bookmakers, but the odds/ payouts dont seem the same as the ones in the shop. for example if i went into the bookies and played a 10er a week in the slots over 10 weeks i would almost guarantee i would walk with a win 50 pounds or more one of those weeks as bigger wins come in alot. so i see where you are coming from. thus anyway i tend not to sign into sky bet anymare an just freeplay for fun lol

Hi Forby,

Your story is an all too familiar one.  I live in Las Vegas and I'm retired from the gaming business (26ys.-pit). 

So many players get to chasing their loses. I can't tell you how many times I've heard, "If I could only get even, I'd quit!"  It's sad to say, but watching them reminded me of watching a dog chase its tail!

As far as your statement on the wheel (roulette) odds, I've dealt this game and number 10 didn't hit in a 32 hour time frame. I've also seen the number 36 hit 3 times in a row. I hope you see where I'm going with this! Tail and scared money never win.

Most people after a bad streak, ease their guilt, fear, and/or tension, by placing blame on someone(casino) or something(game) that they believe cheated them. It's a human mind thing, in reality, we only cheat ourselves and I'll stop with that!

I wish you luck but more important, just learn the game. Afterall, you can't win if you don't know how to play....

Stay Lucky!

What a fine story pokergranni, We could all learn from your post.  I know I did.

Thanks P!

I was afraid I was too preachy!  But, I truly hope it helps!

Stay Lucky!

Hi all,
Thanks PG, i didnt find your post "too preachy" in the
slightest.  Its great, and i mean great to know that
people care and im very grateful for all your input so
far on this post.  I wouldnt be suprised if every player
playing at a "bad" casino had a percentage next to
their username.  Beginners luck to keep u there, and
then less luck each time.  If this is accurate, mine
must have been down to 30% at Skybet as most
and nearly all their games defied calcuable odds
by such a huge distance!!!

The best casinos will have the most players and
highest percentage average pay out!  Casino's
who try and make as much money out of each
player as they can before realising its bad deserve
being dissed as i have done.  Sod em!

And lastly before i overlast your patient reading
time, sorry, is that all the big wins on slots
should be rand omly scrambled onto the system
at the start of each day....ie Spin number 11,520
on Monopoly "Here and Now" slot = 1000 x bet JP.
U just feel with bad luck like theres somebody
controlling it, so that its not u who wins.  If they
dont hate me, i dont care if they do now ive
grassed on them.  Amen

pokergranni,
  I loved your post and know forby's story all to well.  I'm sure that alot of us do but you have to play within your means!!!!!!!!

hi , I just got a letter from sky vegas today lol saying...


"we recently became aware of an intermittent issue with our snakes and ladders slot game which could have resulted in some of our customers being paid out incorrectly for one specific win-line."
"As soon as we became aware of the issue, we removed the game from our site so that the game developers could identify and resolve the issue. This has now been done and the game has been put back into service."
"We also asked our developers to analyse the history of every customer who has ever played the game to see in any could have been negativley affected by this bug."
"As a result of this work we identified a relatively small number of customers who had experienced the problem and who had not been paid in full for certain specific games where the identified win-line scenario occurred."
"We have identified that you are one of the affected customers and we have calculated that you should have received an additional £0.30."
"Please accept our sincere apologies for this situation and our assurance that all steps will be taken to ensure that there will be no reoccurrence."



I think i noticed this slot was not paying correctly at the time and printed the screen i will upload if i can, has anyone else been affected by this????

here is my screenshot notice the paid bar says £0.00 but ther clearly is a win on line one " ladder wild ladder" ....

Thieves English grammar being faultless wont spare them
from being booed.  The slot in question "Snakes and Ladders"
had a special trick up its sleeve when i played it too:
£60 to £0.00 in about 200 x 40p spins.....instead of 180.
Classy arent they......arent Skybet honourable!

I have been looking for info on skybet and reading from posts on this site my experience is common. SKYBET IS CORRUPT please do not join site you will end up broke. I have tried complaining to ALDERNEY but was ignored.
THIS SITE IS OBVIOUSLY RUN BY CRIMINALS AND SHOULD BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS.
