Why don't more books copy the WSEX format?

For ease of wagering without all the flashing lights, etc.

Also for the interactives. Intertops (from what I have seen is NOwhere near as good as WSEX). Plus you've got the flashing whatnots.

You are correct.

I too love the WSEX software.

The only negative is the fact that you have to scroll down to see all the lines on a particular sport.

Other than that, it is fantastic in many ways.

This is a book that EVERYBODY should have an account at!!

I am always amazed when I am talking to a veteran member here at the RX and they mention to me that they have NEVER had an account at WSEX.

Obviously everyone is not going to like them, but for those that have never tried them, I suggest at least you give them a shot.

I have had an account with WSEX in the past and intend to use them in the future as well. If you know what you are looking for, the interface is very easy. If you are randomly searching for a bet it may take a little time. They are a definite top 10 out, imo.

Fish,

As for scrolling up and down to see ALL the games--maybe; but some with all the games listed are so small, they are difficult to read the numbers accurately--Then to place a wager Can be more difficult than it should be. The SIMPLE drop down screen at WSEX, is great. IMO

Oldman,

I hear ya!

I really do not mind it that much at all, and like you say, sometimes it is actually better than conventional methods.

Have a nice day.

I can't say yes or no to that. But I was playing at WSEX before there ever was a Pinnacle. And, no doubt they have a great reputation, I have a bit of hesitancy to a book with no phone #.

That's just me and ALL I read about Pinnacle is 99% positive.

Both Pinnacle and WSEX each have strong points regarding their software.

Both great for Neteller Transactions.

i love everything about wsex except for the fact that it refreshes automatically. nothing more annoying than checkin out the lines or comparing lines with the page at a certain area, then the screen refreshes and it brings the page up to the top

The only thing I like better about Pinnacle, I think, is that you don't scroll so much and you can input all of your wagers on a sport at once. On the downside, once you've inputed the numbers, if the lines change, you have to do it all over again...

WSEX should start following conventional rotation schedules. I get annoyed having to search from their own special set of schedule numbers.

I'm wondering the same thing. It's amazing how few books realize that there are countries out there other than the USA and Canada which have slow internet connections and old, slow computers. Any time my internet connection starts to fvck up (and it happens a lot in these former communist countries which charge western prices for communist services

), WSEX is not just always the first SPORTSBOOK to come in properly, it is always the first WEBSITE!!! They have reduced the data requirements to an absolute minimum which is pure brilliance imo. There were times when I couldn't place a bet anywhere else because WSEX was the only site I could access! Maybe if you're in the USA it's not an issue because of reliable connections and fast computers, but on the other 99% of the earth's surface it does make a difference. Good job guys

Darryl,
Yes that's what I'm talking about. I am in the US and WSEX site comes up quicker than the others for me too! I only have a dial up connection and a 4 year old computer. Basically, I blame it on the others having all the "glitter" flashing-jumping or whatever on their page. I don't know.

My connection is 56kbps in theory but only about 5 kbps in reality. It's amazing anyone uses the internet at all in Hungary since the phone lines are 10x noisier (more interference), and internet usage is 4x more expensive than in the USA. Combine that with the average income level being 75% less and you're talking a 160 times shlttier overall deal.

WSEX would greatly improve their site if they didn't have those drop-down menus for betting amounts, the one thing I hate about them. Amazing that you see everyone else with the simple boxes where you put in your amount, much quicker. Otherwise it is an excellent site, much better than the Java stuff you see at most places now.
