    Idea for a Practical Gesture by SBR (and WW) to the newly-created Rollover-Refugees
    To help us efficiently hit up some volume at the book we've been unfortunately herded into...it would help some of us (those of the line-shopping persuassion) if SBR could replace the dropped Legendz column with a fresh WWeb column on your http://www.sbrforum.com/betting-odds/ facility... and pledge to keep it up for at least three months...long enough for most of us orphans to meet the 5x rollover.

    SBR, you had a role to play in getting our capital tied up as it is...it would be big of you to play a role in at least helping us to untie ourselves.

    I suggest you and WW cooperate on this...and that you waive your usual fee to the book for this 3-month period...consider it as a free-trial of the facility for them...and a help to all of us to get thru this...as "comparison shoppers" and "frequent visitors" to WagerWeb, rather than as grumbling prisoners blindly tied to the website we've been "forced" to wager at.

        Expected to see something worthwhile when fitguy makes a thread, I've never dealt with legendz, but this would be a nice gesture that doesn't seem too difficult to accommodate.

                        that's the price for just one antler-bump...but if it's for a good cause...

                                hate to clutter a sports-betting site with sports...but anybody have anything on the chc/cin game...

                                a while ago it was tied 2-2, cincy has men on 2nd and 3rd, 1 out, bottom of 9th...i assumed my cincy bet would cash...then i started this thread...

                                flash fwd...it's bottom of 13th ...cubs now up 4-2 (reds obviously got zilch in the 9th...and ready to blow it)...a few more minutes wasted on this thread...chek bak and cincy wins 5-4...

                                damn, you gotta love baseball (agree with element: all you need are MLB and NHL to get nicely thru the year)

                                                we're almost on page 2 with all of the red-ball fascination...

                                                how 'bout a moment of consideration of the serious matter that brought us--with all of our balls, red and otherwise--here...

                                                ________________________

                                                any support for this?

                                                i HATE being imprisoned by one book's lines because of a RR...the solution is a handful of accounts, an odds-comparison hub...and patience...gotta put on plays anyhow...put 'em all on at the best possible prices, ignoring the goddam' RRs (cuz eventually they'll get met or ur balance gets zeroed=you're done with it)...20-cent line books like WW surprisingly-often have better prices than your 10-cent line book cuz each book "shades" their line one way or the other...my experience is that even with GENERALLY crappy prices, you'll get at least one SPECIFICALLY best-price every day or two at damn near every book--including the one we just got angled into

                                                shop for the best prices patiently...and u'll gradually whittle down what seems like a huge RR as the days pass

                                                getting the WW lines on the hub will streamline and facilitate this process, saving lots of clicks daily, cuz u'll know exactly when it's one of those times to bother with WW...and knock off some of the RR--but do so with prices u'r happy with, rather than pissed off at

                                                  If I bet at a book, I want to be able to compare prices without having to log in constantly.

                                                  Bang on!...

                                                  especially if there's a rollover requirement holding your money hostage, and even tho' your not in a hurry...you MUST log action at this particular book...

                                                  especially frustrating if the ROR was something imposed on you...cash "free and clear" at one book suddenly becomes ROR-hostage at another...

                                                  in fact, i haven't really looked at the WW lines yet and have yet to place a single order there ...all cuz their lines are not "comparison-shoppable".

                                                  ________________________

                                                  WW inherited the account balances of Legends...how about they also inherit their "column" on SBR "live odds"...

                                                  This would move this book, in my estimation...from use-LESS to use-FUL.

                                                  SBR Brass...how 'bout helping WW--who just adopted a large number of SBR-referred "orphans"--to get onto live odds...

                                                    great add, Ray--proving: EVERYone smarter than ANYone...

                                                    it couldn't kill SBR to just replace the dropped Legends' feed with WW, if only for a few months...till the rollover-captives are freed...WW obviously not opposed to external-release of their lines as i had feared, so maybe this could get done...

                                                    I looked at the rx live-odds page...basically a "sampler" to a for-pay service...not a viable substitute for SBR's amazingly [considering the price!] full-featured facility...it has progressively addicted me into the essential habit of comparatively-shopping each and every play...and taught me that the more books the better...as you are constantly being surprised by how each book on your team contributes from time to time as the best out...so if WW is added to the lineup, I know the RO will be gradually whittled down without sacrificing performance...

                                                    come 'on SBR...help your members that rely on the Live-Odds feed to deal with this new-book/new rollover-requirement (and be prepared to back us up against any unfair attempts down the road to confiscate any of our funds, once the 5x rollover is met)

                                                      "sigh" I tried, really, I tried "sigh"

                                                      just noticed that in addition to feeding lines to rx...they also feed to covers, as part of "my odds" facility...but i have yet to figure out how to use that yet as it's not a straight-up 2-dimensional odds-comparision table...seems to be configured game-by-game...

                                                      really wish a WagerWeb "SBR live-odd"s column would rise up like a phoenix from the ashes of the Legends' column...

                                                        can't believe that it happened so quick (or even at all)...but SBR and WWeb listened to my tiny "voice crying in the wilderness"
