ESPN's RealTime Scoreboard - is it better than Sportsline's?

LongLiveSport · May 26, 2004

Sportsline's no-refresh, league Scoreboards are pretty sweet. I see that ESPN now has a RealTime Scoreboard, but to get it you have to sign up as an ESPN Insider subscriber - $40 per year or $5 per month

Has anyone tried RealTime? If so, how does it compare to Sportsline's no-refresh Scoreboard. Hard to top Sportsline, IMO.

i use cbs sportsline. it up on my screen everynight .

i have 4 monitors in my family room / office and have direct tv mlb ticket.

sportslines updates are within seconds of the actual action.

cant beat it.

Sportsline is good because you can view an entire league scoreboard that updates itself. Enables you to keep tabs on multiple games all on one page.

sportsline is great as long as they get it right. There have been numerous instances where they don't even tend to the board on a college football Saturday, or puting up the wrong score in it's entirety or reversing the scores of the teams that are playing. Nothing like thinking you won when you look at the scoreboard and then check your book account the next day to find out that you lost the wager you thought you had won. Then you statr e-mailing the cs at the book and so on and so on..... it's happened on more than 1 occasion

I use Sportsline alot but always double check finals from a second source (Yahoo, USA Today, ESPN.) before I mark bets winners or losers.

I've noticed CBS sportsline, sometimes "freezes" up. My local newspaper is known to publish wrong scores.

I use CBS sportsline, then if something doesn't jive, look furthur.

Whatever the books use, seems most accurate !
