RXOdds (now SportsOptions) Updates

First off, we have rebranded RXOdds to SportsOptions.com. The main reason is for a more marketable name, but the site will also be the home of all other 'non-forum' services/products we launch, so we were looking for something a little more generic.

Next, we have released a new version of our odds service. There are a lot of little enhancements, but the 2 biggest new features are:

- Scores pages. From the Scores menu, you can now access Today's Scores (with an auto-refresh options), Yesterday's Scores and Archives. The scores pages include line scores, separate columns for 1st and 2nd half scores, game and 2nd half opening and closing lines and game and 2nd half ATS results (based on the closing line). As you can see the page is geared towards gamblers!

- Option to not display halftime lines in place of game lines. By default, the odds service replaces the game lines with halftime lines as soon as a game goes to half. Poster jwunderdog pointed out that it would be helpful for halftime bettors to be able to see what the game line was after a halftime line comes in, so this option will let users toggle between game and halftime lines.

Last, but definitely not least, we have launched a Refer-a-Friend program on SportsOptions. This program is unique because unlike a lot of referral programs, we aren't giving product credit for referrals, we are giving CASH. And you don't have to be an odds service customer - this is open to anybody. Once you get your referrer code, we will pay you up to 150% commission on the first month for every account referred. You can learn more and get your referrer code here: http://www.sportsoptions.com/referals.html

Thanks to everybody that has made our odds service such a fast success - all of the support and input that we have received from our customers has been fantastic!

How do you "toggle"? thanks

Boy, i have been waiting on the archives feature for a while. Glad to see it. it will make it a lot easier, plus a lot of other features added. it just keeps getting better.

Ricky on the scores page finals should drop to the bottom and also need a tighter look to it, smaller fonts

Nice work though

Ricky game matchups needed for hoops

How do you toggle? Anyone know the answer.

J - Sorry I missed your question. To change the option, go to the 'Setup' menu and check or uncheck the 'Display half-time lines in Game'.

When checked, the halftime lines will be displayed in place of the the game lines during halftime. When it is unchecked, the game lines will remain displayed.

If you end up using this options often, you can assign it to a shortcut key by going to 'Shortcut keys' from the 'Setup' menu. To make a shortcut:

1. Click on 'Half-Time lines' in the 'Functions' section
2. In the 'Functions' section, click on 'Half-Time Lines'
3. In the 'Shortcut-keys', click on the key you want to assign the shortcut to.
4. Click the 'Assign-->' button
5. Click the 'Save' button

You will then be able to switch between halftime and game lines with just a keystroke.

I hope this helps!

JJ - Once again you were right - we dropped the font size down and the page does have a 'tighter' look. Matchups are coming this summer.

Thanks

I received the mailshot for the renewed trial etc.. yesterday and thought I'd take a look today whilst I'm back in the UK for a few days off. On firing up the software though I just get a greyed out Login button, and eventually a cannot connect to server message. Any idea of the cause?

Santo - That is most likely caused by a port being blocked by your computer, firewall or ISP.

Have you ran the odds service from this locations before?

Thanks
Rick

Not RXO, another odds services works fine here...

I have access to the router though, what port does it need opened?

Santo -

We use port 4451.

Thanks
Rick
