What are the relative strengths and weaknesses -- the pros and cons, if you will -- of using one service as opposed to the other. Obviously DB costs a little more, but that difference might easily be made up for if DB offers a competitive advantage over SO. The major areas of comparison, to me, are:
1. Speed/Steam -- which service is more likely to alert the player to a major line move first?
2. Customization -- which service offers the player more user-friendly customized settings? (i.e., the ever-so-useful audio "alerts" so the player need not literally stare at the screen waiting for line moves to occur, etc.).
3. What else? -- What else am I missing, which sets one service apart from the other. Is one service preferable to the other for some sports, but not others, for some reason?
I personally have only used SO, and I have always been very happy with it. Most pros I know tend to use DB, but I get the feeling they haven't tried SO, and use DB simply out of brand loyalty because they've been using it for many many years.
Many thanks for any thoughts/input!!
