Do not understand praise for SBRlines.com

[mathdotcom]

Yes it is nice that it's free, etc., but there are very simple improvements available that are being ignored when instead programmers are focusing on adding tennis and other shit.

One example: the ordering of the games is based on start time and not by AL/NL first and then start time

[ICE-BLOOD]

click the # above the rotation numbers to change the order of the games

the thing i don't like is when spreads and totals is clicked , up pops runline and total instead of moneyline and total

i agree it can be improved overall, and like you said, it is free

[jayc88]

sbrlines is great for a free service but nothing compared to premium line services like sportsoptions or donbest

[SBR Lou]

the thing i don't like is when spreads and totals is clicked , up pops runline and total instead of moneyline and total

Spreads & totals may be more useful to some for football, but for MLB the pointspread is the run-line, so that is why they display alongside the totals in the spreads & totals option.

It might be nice to have a Moneyline & totals option for MLB, though.

You get what you pay for

SBRlines seems ok though

[pavyracer]

Note to sbrlines techies: The football season in Europe has started. When will you post lines for champions league?

[jjgold]

SBR Lines blows away paid services like G-J that charges $400 a month and has all delayed numbers

SBR should cost abut $100 a month as it is now but they give it away for free

Tough guys go pay for it then at another site, that will shut everyone up because no one will and continue to use sbr lines.

[SBR_John]

SBRLines is more than just quick lines. DB and SO have a product mainy for bookies. Its a lines changing monitor program, basically. The SBR product is loaded with things real players enjoy and it gets better every season.

[jjgold]

Go compare the paid services , maybe Sbr lines is 30 seconds behind

lol go pay 500 a month for that small difference that means nothing in sportsbetting.

This ain't wall street tough guys where changes occur every 10 second or so. In sports your lucky if a busy game changes 10 times per day vs stocks where they change hundreds of time per day.

[onthewhat]

The paid services must be decent, as they obviously have a user base and are used by professionals.

The professionals surely know about SBR and are aware they offer a free lines service, but maybe they don't want to deal with the constant tech issues that plague SBR's service.

Paid services are quicker and more reliable. Period.

SBR is a solid resource for a recreational player. That's about it.

[jjgold]

I would say SBR lines caters to the recreational and mid level gambler which covers 90% of players and 95% of sbr guys.

[BobHarvey]

It's a great service and getting better everyday.

[SportsInsights]

What out Sports Insights? Obviously I'm a little bias but our updates are on par with SportsOption, and we charge 3.5 times less?

How fast are your Matchbook lines on your service?

If an offer goes up for over $100 at Matchbook, how fast before it hits your service?

Yes JJ, SBR is perfect for me, I'm not like Nicky staring at the computer checking out the stock prices! Plus, "if it's free, it's me"

[konck]

I would pay for SBR no big deal. I like it.

[jjgold]

Why pay when it is free??

I advise all players to use SBR Lines

No need to pay a monthly fee anymore

SBR lines is hurting places like Sports Insights

[hhsilver]

I've been using sbr lines for 2 years and have seen many improvements. At times, there are slow or no feeds from a particular book, but it's been a great aid to me and I want to use this thread to say "thanks, SBR".

[SlickFazzer]

the best free product on the market

SBR LINES is 15 seconds.........tops.

SBRlines is solid, and seems to improve every year. But it really comes down to what you want an odds service for. The pay services will all offer faster updates, 5secs sometimes 5mins, depending on the sportsbooks, plus they all have a dedicated staff devoted to injury alerts and tech issues. If you can live with a 1 min delay, no injury alerts, and limited customization options then SBR is certainly a good choice.

I believe our live odds product is the next generation odds services. Yes, we offer the traditional real-time odds from the standard market setting sportsbooks, plus since 1999 (yes, 10 years) we’ve been tracking/displaying betting percentages from the multiple sportsbooks. The betting percentage data helps our members see first-hand what’s causing the lines to more, public bets vs sharp bets. Displaying real-time odds + betting percentages is fine and dandy but knowing how to profit from it is another thing. This is where our company really separates from the pack. Our Betting Systems utilize our real-time data platform to alert member to profitable betting opportunities. We not only offer live odds but we give you the answers.

Players do not need more than the free services. Guys who are bookmaking may need a pay service if they have players who are betting steamed lines.

The TRUTH of the matter is no matter if you pay or use SBR the lines you see are ALL FROM THE SAME FEED. Period. Its like several different TV channels carrying the same feed. If you started your own line service you would contact the book and get their live feed. They only have one. Same. The pay services then spice it up with injuries and so forth.

[jjgold]

Pay services are just fancier, as far as being effective the Free SBR LInes is just as good as the $550 per month Don Best Service

[SportsInsights]

SBR_John,

The free services use the generic feeds given out by the sportsbooks. Unfortunately, most sportsbook delayed their XML odds feed anywhere from 1-5mins. If you start with slower data source, you'll always have a slower live odds page. The paid services (for the majority of sportsbooks) gather live information directly from the sportsbooks website which is a significantly faster data source. It a lot harder to support this and thus free odds site don't even both. Again, I think SBRlines is solid and a valuable betting tool for bettors.

Our service was designed from the ground up for individual sports bettors, not sportsbooks. From the price, to the info we track, we've always focused on helping sports bettors. Users of our service view betting activity at 7 sportsbooks all on one page, plus the number of best places. But again the real home run are the betting systems we've developed that utilize our live data. Member receive instant alerts when the line moves against the public betting percentages (which is an excellent indicator sharp money has been placed), we also track these alerts by which sportsbook triggered the alert so members can see first-hand how that sportsbooks plays are performing.

[jagaf22]

I love SBR Lines. It's better than a lot of pay programs and I haven't found a free product that comes close.

[jjgold]

Betting percentages mean nothing because if they did no one would fukkin work, 1 second type delays are not necessary in sports betting. This is not the stock maket where majority of stocks change every fukkin few seconds and real time data is needed, on a busy game in sports your lucky if most books move the line 7-10 times per day.

Sports Insights use to be ahead of SBR Lines but the gap has really closed and no need for it anymore.


Why pay &70 a month?? Secondly 90 % of bettors do not bet more than $100 per game so it has no use.

It does not make sense

[Sam Odom]

A big Local of mine used to pay for Don Best, not any longer. That should tell you something.

[jjgold]

Sammy it is useless now

Paid services are hurting for customers and they are fukkin jerkoffs thinking they can charge all that money per month

Sports Insights might be worth like $25 a month now

Sports Options maybe $70

Don Best maybe $100

That is it

Todays tech is much better where free lines are just as good

SBR LINES IS KNOCKING EVERYONE OUT OF THE GAME

[SBR_John]

Not totally true. Most books only have 1 XML feed and they can barely maintain that one. There is not one delayed pay service that beats SBR on the majority of line moves. Zero. Rick loves to post that his $350 a month pay service beat us on a line change or two but kind of forgets that our free service also beats his on line changes too. As I said, we are all using the same feeds.

The pay services are great if you are a bookmaker. Our product is designed for players and has a lot more match up data and information that cappers need. If you need to see a line move instantly you need to have DonBest. They actually do have socket feeds that are the fastest.

[Dark Horse]

As always you can give people all the information in the world, but if they don't know how to use it, hey.

SBR lines is a very good product.

[Fishhead]

Look, I'm a high end successful MID-ROLLER(sbrjohn can confirm this) and I can get by just fine with a FREE SERVICE as oppossed to paying for my line updates.

Are the PAY services better.....probably SLIGHTLY, but for me personally I don't need another utility bill to worry about.

I would recommend anyone wagering less than $300 a game to absolutely avoid using a pay service if they charge over $90 per month..........and would not even consider doing such until ones average bet size is at least $500.


All these PAY FOR LINES SERVICES promoters would like you to think their service is much needed, but facts are 99% of the posters here would be better off financially without them........don't fall for their marketing ploys.

Let me add, many times these reps from pay line services will state that the SBR LINES have over a one minute delay...........well, MATCHBOOK is as good a sportsbook to monitor lines as any, and their delay is NO MORE THAN 15 SECONDS on SBRLINES!!!

[RealSlimShady]

On average, how much slower is SBRLines than Don Best when a line moves?
