My Line Service Ratings

jjgold · Oct 21, 2004

Boys lots of experience here in this field so I am considered a pro. Now I am going to be fair and all info is true and all has been tested by me.

1. DB- Will give them the nod as number 1 still due only to longevity and software but not product. DB has been the leader of live lines service up until recently. Some of their books are real time and some are delayed. The injuries are from LVSC and has nothing to do with them. The software platform is top of the line and they do have some top books on screen buttoo bad they are delayed lines. Their scoreboards are outstanding with accuracy and speed. I will give them a A-

2. G-J Live lines- The company that is chasing DB and doing a good job. They do not have the longevity of a DB or software platform like them yet but the gap is closing fast. I recently tried the latest software and it is impressive and fast. The books are solid but they need a few more top books. Lines are real time and scores are nice. Bang for you buck I would go with G-J here as DB is a little over priced right now. I will give them B+.

3. Rx Live Lines- Here is a free service that is underrated but I do beleive they need some more top books like cris, ect and the layout can be improved where it is easier to read. For free though there is no product any better. Lander does a fine job with the product and it can only get better, this service is very popular for bettors of all types. I will give them a solid B.

4. Feist Sportstracker- Decent platform but lousy books so it kills the service and scores are somewhat slow at times. Some nice colors and features but way over priced. I will give them a C+

5. Tip-ex and other script type services/spiders that grab lines off books website's are decent and have their place. I think Johny Detroit's website is nice for this as is tip-ex and at tip ex the changes screen is real nice and has like 25 books. I would say though these are delayed somewhat but not that much (2 minutes or 3) Rating B-

That is it for now boys

Coach you take all your borrowed dimes and start your own service

jjgold · Oct 21, 2004

Joel it is way to costly to maintain a line service.

DB has used millions and millions to get the product where it is today

Glaken · Oct 21, 2004

Thanks JJ I was wondering how they all compared to one another

Whats a MW?

SoCalBaseball · Oct 21, 2004

I like both sites and all the people around here (and there) that post. I see alot of us that check out both sites. I'm one of those guys that reads more than posts. IMO the Coach's absence had been noticable.

jjgold · Oct 21, 2004

Glacker mw is a strong site also

I am not posting there but have some tight friends there.

Rusty and I are not agreeing about an issue so I backed off site

I couldnt agree with you more. I was curious one day so I checked out this service. The speed of the lines actually suprised me. JJ, have you ever tested the speed of the RX Live Lines against the ones on the DB Premium? I wouldnt be suprised if the RX Live Lines got the updates quicker.

And Lander, a suggestion for you if you read this... One feature that players like on the G&J screen is the ability to view all sports at one time with the click of a button. Have you ever thought about putting an All Sports link on your version here at the RX?

jjgold · Oct 23, 2004

DB running well today

G-J running great also

RX smooth and hitting the right numbers also

Fishhead · Oct 23, 2004

Thanks JJ

G&J is gay as hell people just want to root for them becuase theyre the underdog to the don. .livelines will be the best give it time it hasnt been around nearly as long as the others you mention. then people will be forced to go to the prescription for line feeds and guess what theyre free. the RX will have a crippling effect on the industry that makes corperate take overs look like the joy luck club.

jjgold · Oct 23, 2004

Robbie ...Rx lines are nice but lander has to change format a little to make it easier to read and plus give us options on what books we want, kind of like getting a user name so we can customize

TheGeneral+ · Oct 23, 2004

Would be nice to see all the advertisers on live lines here.

jjgold · Oct 23, 2004

Good Suggestion Pete

chalkeater · Oct 23, 2004

G&J has been very nice to me, as they extended my trial service for another week. In return, I promise to provide a review of their product.

I'm also a DBS premium customer (for the past 4 + years) and while I would like to pull for G&J because they are the underdog, I'm pulling for them because of the price.

GL!

This is a mature and constructive post. Keep up the good work. :awesom:

JJ, you never answered... Does the RX Live lines come in faster than DB? I noticed how quick the changes were... but I havent really ever stared at the DBS screen to test the speed. They are only 45sec - 1min behind us, and to players who dont need injuries, weather, and all the other bundled features, the RX Live Lines is a valuable service.
