John Dough..
I believe the perfect book for small to medium football bettors right now is Skybook. The main benefit is the free half point on all football wagers, here are some of the details:
Valid for straight wagers placed over the Internet only. Sides only (sorry no totals). Remember internet only for free half point - no call center bets for free point unless there are very special circumstances.
Maximum wager $500 per game (for the free half point - higher limits without it).
Valid everyday in football. These days there are games literally seven days a week.
Does not apply to moving the line on or off the numbers 3 or 7 in football. Important you remember this,
Not valid when buying points.
Credit card depositors must have all paperwork in order to qualify. A technicality but unfortunately a necessary one.
You also get a 10% cash bonus added to your account if you deposit $500 or more. Deposit $2500 and you start with $2750 in cash plus the free half point, that is a great deal and much more valuable than a straight 20% or 25% bonus on top of your deposit you might find at other books.
I am certain the free half point will save you a lot more than the extra bonus money by the time the season is over anyway. Players are always writing me and telling me how very surprised they are at how many times that the free half point comes into play during the course of a season.
The free half point can really turn a poor day into a decent one and a decent day into a fine one etc. up the line. Sometimes all it takes is that one win by a hook or even a tie to save a brutal loss to make a players day. I know I have been there all to many times wishing I had a half point inside the two minute warning of a game.
Skybook also has great customer service and pays like clockwork. Their Customer Care Department is one of the top 2 or 3 in the entire industry. Don't take my word for just read about it on these forums.
Some people say Skybook doesn't put their numbers up early enough but unless you are a scalper or line chaser getting Sunday's lines on Wednesday is very workable for example.
Remember though the free half point is for wagers made on the internet, not in the call center. You should also keep in mind that you can't use the free half point to get off the numbers 3 or 7.
Skybook also has plenty of re-load bonuses and many other excellent promotions thorughout the year that are perfect for small to medium sized bettors.

However if you want to to get the free half point you need to let Skybook CSD know when you actucally deposit, by that I mean you have to ask for the free half point, but regardless it is still just like is says FREE.
