Idea for RX odds service...

Iceman · Dec 4, 2007

The service is top notch and Ric is doing a great job but I am not the most computer gifted guy in the world so this maybe something already there but I cant figure out if it is.

Not exactly sure how you could do this but somehow you could put a line/strike price you are looking for and if and when that number pops up at any or certain books you are then alerted.

With this reverse steam thing I am working on I would love to have this. Now I am not sure how this would be done, I would be thinking more of a flashing number thing as it would be too complicated if it was a noise alert.

So for example let's say Detroit is -4 vs Milwaukee. I want to bet Milwaukee if the line ever hits +6. The second it hits my predetermined strike price I am alerted of this. You could program this too certain books and the like. So basically when my number finally arrives I am notifed of it and then can bet it.

Hopefully this easy too understand. Seems like something alot fo people would use. Say for instance you go to a place on the site and PROGRAM any of your strike prices and to be notified if any of your books display that number.

Definitely a good idea if it's not already there. I'm definitely a selective player and will only bite if the number finally reaches what I want.

I think so too. Would be unique also but could be too confusing so not sure how to work the kinks out but if you only use it on a handful of games I think it would be great.

Thats like a GTC order on a stock.

If a stock hits a certain price buy?

Yes and Pinnacle used to have this as a feature of their book but I believe it hasn't been available for quite some time.

you're right this is a good idea. Don's best actually has this feature, its called line alerts. You can also scroll down the schedule and see the best number available on each game. You put the list of books for them to choose from. Of course Don's best has shit books to choose from now and they seem to be going down hill fast.
