sammydee & Owen,
I said this earlier and I will say it again so it is perfectly clear...
OUR LINE SERVICE IS FREE!!!
We will not be charging in the future either..
If we were planning to do so, I would come clean with it...
Now if you'd like us to reconsider, maybe we should charge?
As far as DON BEST is concerned, we are nowhere near the level of quality that they offer, nor do we pretend to be...
We are just trying to add a nice new feature that gamblers can use FOR FREE...
We intend to have a nice mixture betwen sports books that already appear on The Don Best feed with some of our own...
QUESTION....
I would be very interested in which books amongst our sponsors that you gamblers would like to see be added in our next phase of sports books that we will include on our line feed...

Very nice to see this up and running.
My only question is related to the one above:
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>There are no listings for the dogs...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>There is no listing for the payouts on Dogs because of how much variance there is amongst the sports books.. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I guess I just don't understand the answer here.
I DO understand that one book may have -200/+180 and another may have -200/+185 and so on...
But if this line feed software is presumably connecting to the sportsbooks once a minute to update the lines, then why can it not grab the dog price right as it grabs the favorite price?
Or would all the 15 and 20 cent books just be upset at having their comebacks listed right next to pinnacle?

FSB,
Let me take a shot ...

Great point FSB. The main reason for not listing prices is strictly REAL ESTATE ... if we push too much info on the page we lose space ... lost space means less books to shop at ... it the end we felt that approach we hurt the gambler.
Hopefully, the pros outweigh the cons on that decision (plus DickyW is a square and only bets chalk
).
We are considering changing this in the future or possibly adding "color coding" to indicate if it's an 8, 10, 15, 20, 30, etc .. cent line, but that is only in consideration.
"But if this line feed software is presumably connecting to the sportsbooks once a minute to update the lines, then why can it not grab the dog price right as it grabs the favorite price?"
We do have that data FSB, again is was purely a REAL ESTATE decision. If we get an overwhelming demand for this I'm sure we will accomodate it ASAP.
Or would all the 15 and 20 cent books just be upset at having their comebacks listed right next to pinnacle?
Not at all, they're all in the business and realize that if they want business they need to attract customers ... while some 20 books do not have great MLB moneyline, their totals (and MORE importantly their NFL lines) are VERY VERY competitive.
Hope that helps a bit, as always your feed back is greatly appreciated

Thank you very much FunkSoulBrother...
Nnot too many people really understand how many months this took and all that was involved to make it work...
Trust me when I say this but the time all of our techies put in, along with Lander, was long and arduous...
Over 6 months from start to finish...
stalled again,
We had originally set the refresh at 30 seconds, but I felt the page was refreshing too often...
We can set it at whatever time interval you guys want actually...

Well to me shrink the more and more shops you put up the better it is for all of us and the worse it is for don best. You say that the 2 services dont compare!!! To me if I can see live numbers flash before my eyes and one place charges me $500/month and the other charges me 0 then ofcourse I will go with the later. Could this be the beginning of the end for don best!!!!!! If it is you'll have no complaints here
