Express Odds vs. Premium.... DB

brewster · Oct 27, 2004

I would like to hear from users as to what they think. I am having a hard time justifying the 550/month. I am only a nickel and dime player. I do find value and oppurtunities myself, but I wanna take it to the next level. My bankroll has grown tremendously but has stayed the same for quite some time. I am thinking that getting DB will give me an edge.

I know the instant updates are crucial for the full time guys, but does the Express odds provide enough value for the part timer??

BrewCrew: If what you say is that your a nickle and dime player literally, depending on what kind of outs you've got will determine if it's worth it in the long run.

Meaning, if you keep punching your man in the pants and your moving on him before he gets the number, some dudes get sick of that. Either-way, good-luck.

I personally find a 2-3 minute delay hard to work off of. If you can justify it, you might as well spring for the Live. There are a couple of other options out there too. If all you are looking for is numbers at different books, why not just check out the Live Lines on this site? I will tell you right now that they are very fast and accurate.

What features are you looking for to help improve your numbers? What do you feel you need from a line service? If you state the things you need in a service, I am sure myself or JJ can tell you which service is right for you.

Well if you are playing that much I would go with DB Premium period.
Betting $500-$1000 a game is definately an above average player and I would think you would benefit from it.

If all he is looking for is numbers, and not features, what makes it better than the free version here?

It seems you would need to know what he needs before you could suggest a service.

Middle opportunities mainly. I know the guys that are good at this buy the overnight or opening line heavy and then the public jumps on board and by game time the line has moved 2-3+ points.

I am pretty sure there is a feature on DB Premium called "Line Search" or something like that to help you with middles. I am not sure if it is on the express service. It is like a limit order on the stock market, it will tell you when a certain game goes to a certain price. If you set all the games you thought to be possible middles, that feature would help you.

Mike, please stop any further comments promoting your service here. Any further occurrences will result in your posting rights being removed. You had time to come onboard as an advertiser and you didn't take the opportunity. Don Best, on the other hand has paid to be here. It is not fair for paying advertisers to have you come in here and shill your company. Consider this your last warning. Thanks.

Brewster,

Any player that is betting a nickel or more will definitely benefit from our Premium Odds service.

First off having access to the real-time odds from over 20 sportsbooks will expose you to opportunities that no other service, including Express Odds, can.

With our Line Seeker tool you can tell the program to alert you when certain lines become available. If you like to take positions on a game early, Line Seeker is a perfect way to quickly be alerted to available lines on the other side.

Many users use our Major Line Move alerts to help them make quick decisions. It is fully customizable, so you can set it to alert you to anything from micro-moves to only the biggest moves.

And with our Changes widow you can spot trends in the line movements that will also help you make your decisions.

I would be happy to setup free trial of our Premium Odds service for you. Just email me at ricka@donbest.com and I will get it setup for you.

Thanks,

Rick

I was just offering my advice on a line service for him. If he were just looking for numbers he should just go with the RX's service. I also answered his quetsion about DB, although I thought it was called Line Search instead of Line Seeker. I didnt start a thread to promote our service, just offered information for one of your posters.
