Still intermittant issues with Blank openings... Other thing I'm noticing both in IE and Chrome today is that the opening lines are "trapped" because you can't get the scrolling bar to the first history line... Doesn't seem to be sized right...

[Richkas]

I love the live odds here

[Roy Halladay]

very helpful, thanks

[70kgman]

Just a petty aesthetical suggestion...the "opener" box could use some slight separation from the rest of the odds. Maybe bold around the box, or make the text a different color.

I can see the problem you're talking about with trapped lines, i'll go ahead and have the guys fix that. I don't quite understand what you mean about "blank openings" are you talking about opening lines that are empty? If so could you please take a screenshot and let me know which book you're using for opening lines.

[BetterBizness]

well opening lines for a line watcher are pretty important... So thanks...

[BetterBizness]

So is this something that's actually happening soon? How shitty is it that I have to have both screens open to figure out the opening line?

[rfr3sh]

i do not have the blank opener problem here

For now, you can click the "I" button and click line history from there. All of the line histories work correctly there. Or you can change the book to use as the opener if you go into the settings. Though I assume you're interested in more than one sportsbook.

As far as when the bug gets fixed I'm not sure. Updates on the site are scheduled once a week with few exceptions.

In beta odds I only miss possibility to watch only selected odds

This thing doesn't maintain the session from the normal sbr site. Thats why I haven't tried it. CBA to login again.

I second this suggestion. Or perhaps move it to the left like the old site, or semi-shade the column (it's not like it's going to change).

Ok cool, at least it's a start...

I wake up this Sunday morning and just have a feeling something is up in the totals ... Very few entries on the "new" site... Texas game not even offering a history...

Then I start looking... the "old" site has way more line entries on almost every game...

Texas game has 6 line entries to 2 in the new site..
Toronto/Balti 8 entries to 4..
Phi/Pit 13 entries to 9 ...

I use these histories to tell a story, and clearly I am considering just stop using the site, free or not when over and over the numbers between the sites are all bs... Once it was stated that the "old" site isn't sensitive to the small 15 second movements? Fair enough...

Look at the Tex/Cle history... New site says it opens at -113, and there is a single 8 cent jump to 121 before the game goes off...

Old site... game opened at -110 Under (yesterday)... Moves to -106 Under... Back to -110, 3 cent push to -113... 4 cent push to -117.. THEN 4 cent push to -121 ... That's a TOTALLY different story if you are trying to cap line
movement...

Kc/Det this morning has 3 line movements... old site has 17... uh... don't think i need to explain....

Site may be free, but if we can't find any consistency, who cares if it's free if its wrong?

[rfr3sh]

yes I have been using the old site recently because they are still working on the new site

i was wondering if this feature would be possible to implement, just an icon next to the game saying which book has teh best line available

Yeah the main problem with this is that some of the books we have are using reduced juice feeds which are only available to some members on those sites. If we were to show which book was offering the best line i think you would see the same book be selected most of the time.

As far as the line history goes, we're still working on it. Hoping by the end of the week we have a more stable version, please keep sending feedback. Beta site is getting better every week because you guys keep finding bugs and making useful suggestions.

whitey this is not true, excluding matchbook it is quite important

A mention was made about a prob w/ the sizing on the one click line history page. I saw that also. But... that got me a thinkin! If only WE could drag and re size the screen then we could get rid of the scroll bar if we just made the page longer from top to bottom. I bet the flick of a button might let us do that. I hate the scroll. I like to see the whole line history so it can speak to me.

Please let us resize the one click line history page so those of us who choose not to scroll can do so. Oh, and smart phone users might then be able to use the line history. My friend can't scroll from his phone at all.

Thanks,
Carl

Within the Boxes now, the text "NAN" is appearing where a line should be, at least in the total... In this case the Cinci LA game...

Looking into it thanks.

For now please just use the "I" button and get the line histories from there. The popup will be fixed very shortly.

Now the old site doesn't maintain the session. Could we have it work like it did as a backup in case the new site has issues.

There were no changes made to the old site. I'm not sure why it wouldn't be retaining the session but we can check on that. However the new site does now. Logging out and into the beta site will log you in and out of the forum.

<10 minutes before 7:05 starts today (Friday) and the site decided no give me "no information available" ... wow! That was fun for a guy who likes to watch the late moves...

[BetterBizness]

Whole thing is broke... not showing any games...

[jjgold]

I rarely have a problem, I do not get it

I think so many factors lie type of computer, type of browsers, what other stuff might be going on in your computer

Yeah... Sorry

I changed something, shit hit the fan, couldn't bring it back up for awhile.

Bill-
Suggestion - when you switch to 'Spreads and Totals', it would be really great if it would show the price of the total; if space is an issue you could do it like Don Best (i.e. 7u15 it it was u7 -115; if it is -110, it just says 7). Thanks

[Carl 1326]

No comments on letting us resize the one click line history screen? It would do away w/ the scroll issue and be a BIG improvement for us line junkies. I know the software can do it since it got miss sized one day by yall. Please!!!

Oh, and today the old site has the right lines and Beta does not.Check out the 1st line from the opener in the Col / Clev game. It is 23 but listed as this morning on beta and yesterday evening on the old site. The old site is correct. Just a day off at Beta. This makes a BIG difference.

There has been talk of this before, i'll see if we can bump it up on the priority list. I think a lot more people would use this screen if it had the price.

1. As for the resize of the line history screen i'm not sure, i can bring it up to the guys but i don't know if it will happen.
2. As for the incorrect openers, this is due to a bug we experienced on Monday afternoon / night. If you see it happen again please send me a PM there is no reason it should be an ongoing issue.

In beta odds I only miss possibility to watch only selected odds

+1 I love being able to select just the games I'm interested in.

Also I miss being able to switch from totals to money lines and not having to open a new window like you can on the old site. So if I have the games I'm looking at but want to check the total, it doesn't have to open a new window and if I had checkmarks on the games I was looking at they are already highlighted.

Really liking the new beta odds, works much smoother on my PC. Those are the only two things I really miss from the old odds site.

Shouldn't need to open a new window, make sure that the checkbox "New Tab" is not selected up top where the options are. If you're using one of the new browsers that implement HTML 5 (Chrome, FF 4) then the page won't even refresh when changing leagues or bet types. Though you still need to wait just a little bit for it to load from the server, so it's a little slower than the old site

[Carl 1326]

Whitey, the scroll deal for line history is a prob for some folks using their smart phones to look at the line history. I know more and more people are using their phones to look at stuff here.

The scroll causes me to have to write down the whole history so I can see it all at the same time. Being able to drag and make the screen longer would just be an easy fix for getting rid of the scroll if it was possible. The fact that someone from SBR made the screen shorter one day (and hid the opening line) made me think that if we could just drag and make it longer that would get rid of the need to scroll. The line history on the old site is all on one page w/ no need to scroll but it has the slower 1 min. line pick up.

I do like the 15 second pick up that Bill told us about at the Beta! It gives a more correct line history. If we could just get rid of the scroll I would love the new site.

I'll look into it, if its not too difficult to do then we can probably do something like that. I know that the re-sizing is simple but we just need to make sure the current window we have is compatible.
