how many of you use DON BEST?

onlooker · 05-14-07, 10:34 AM

I visit there from time to time. But I don't pay for any of their services.

jjgold · 05-14-07, 10:39 AM

No way

Suckers pay

Delayed info, delayed lines, delayed injuries

Office clerks bet 1st and then release lines, same with injuries, they send fake injury info so they can bet and sway lines

frauds

mavs1978 · 05-14-07, 12:23 PM

i disagree.. i have watched there lines move exactly in order with the live websites moves.. i think they are solid and having them helped me get on the ducks last night. the line dropped .30 at post.. good stuff

crackerjack · 05-14-07, 12:39 PM

$600 bucks a month! I guess you have to factor in how much the site has helped you win or saved you in potential losses but this seems outrageous.

mavs1978 · 05-14-07, 12:42 PM

i dont know anyone who would play seriously without it.. must be a southern thing

maritime · 05-14-07, 12:48 PM

I don't pay for any services, but I have used their free archives to check old lines

BuddyBear · 05-14-07, 01:48 PM

Well i would think it is of limited use for many on here b/c of the price. If you are paying $600 a month over the course of a year then you are paying $4200 for their services....most guys on here aren't betting that kind of money to make it worth while although my understanding is that it is very very helpful. Perhaps if i was betting a dime or two a game then it would be something I would seriously consider.

$600 a month is only $4200 for a whole year?

maybe you're getting a discount for paying the whole year :-P

the point is it is a waste of money.

They Suck.i Get Their Free Picks Newsletter Emailed Daily And They Are Picks From The Top Donbest Cappers And Most Of The Time They Are F'n Lemons.you Want To Pay 600.00 For That Go Ahead Jack-hole.

jjgold · 05-14-07, 03:29 PM

clerks in office bet there, I have witnessed it on the phone.

SBR_John · 05-14-07, 04:12 PM

Its a good line service for sure. If you are an angle shooter, as opposed to a handicapper, its an absolute must have. But if you are a capper playing under $1000 per game its a waste.

bigboydan · 05-14-07, 04:14 PM

I've used them before a while ago, but I still feel that G&J offers a better product for the price.

Senator7 · 05-14-07, 04:25 PM

Forgive my possible naivete, but what is the point of paying for Don Best or G&J when SBR Odds are free?

Is it because of the "smart money moves" or "steam plays"?

Is it because of breaking news updates?

I don't see the value in either product...

mavs1978 · 05-14-07, 04:58 PM

first.. i dont use their cappers.. so take it easy spanks.. why call me a jackhole? does that make you feel better?
i love donbest.

1. late line moves
2. injuries
3. i like to watch pinnacle very closely
4. and it just makes me feel cool ( and how much is that worth?)

i will also check out S@G

thanks

jjgold · 05-14-07, 05:12 PM

Injuries are bogus, better updates on espn news

steam plays are very overrated, play them all and end up 50%

No value at all

SBR_John · 05-14-07, 05:22 PM

Senator,
DonBest has faster lines than SBR by a few seconds. They have direct feeds that are open while ours updates every couple of seconds. We will soon have injury updates every bit as fast as theirs.

If you are playing steam(betting on slow moving lines when a line starts to move at a couple of other books) a couple of seconds is critical.

We did not create SBRLines to cater to this crowd. We are happy to refer them to DB or G&J.

Thanks for the clarification, John, but SBR is all I'll ever need and then some.

SBR_John · 05-14-07, 05:42 PM

The NEW SBRLines will be far improved including the exact same injury info as DB. I hope it will be ready by the end of the month but more likey in June.

raiders72002 · 05-14-07, 07:41 PM

but I still feel that G&J offers a better product for the price.

G&J a better product, forget about the price. DB has bad injury info.

John- I thought that SBR Odds were off by 10 seconds. Has there been an improvement?

jjgold · 05-14-07, 08:15 PM

We are waiting still for the new SBR Odds, what is the fukkin delay?

BuddyBear · 05-14-07, 09:03 PM

sorry can't add.....$7200

Maybe adding is the problem ... Try multiplying.

G&J has had a few stumbles I've caught a few times Raiders. In fact I did bring them to Mike's attention here on the forum, and he did acknowledge the info was incorrect. I will say this much in regards to that particular situation, he did go out of his way to find out who that info came from, and handled it accordingly.

The one real good thing I actually like about G&J over DB is the fact that Mike is always browsing the forums answering questions about his product.

wack · 05-15-07, 04:05 AM

I would have thought $600 a month is ok if you are betting at least $1000 a time, otherwise it sounds way too pricey.

jjgold · 05-15-07, 05:52 AM

I use to call DB and heard clerks calling books to make bets, it was like a fukkin boiler room operation. Last year I heard one guy make a 10k bet at Pinnacle.

Arilou · 05-15-07, 06:56 AM

Don Best is very expensive. I can only see using it if you're prepared to bet not just 1K/game but a massive amount per game. Otherwise, you're better off with SBR and ordinary decent line shopping. This will put a big dent in a normal bankroll.

mavs1978 · 05-15-07, 08:59 AM

what is S@G?

exuse me... G@J

G&J is the main competitor to Don Best.

I always wondered why books like to be on it!

mavs1978 · 05-15-07, 03:05 PM

i checked ou G and J and it looks nice as well. im like a kid in a candy store.. i must try it

jjgold · 05-15-07, 05:56 PM

G-J is much better

crackerjack · 05-16-07, 08:27 AM

mavs, how much money do you think you've either saved or won as a result of using Donbest? Please include the times you used them, made the bet and lost the bet... I am just trying to see the value here in paying $600 a month. You could parlay that up to a nice chunk of change with normal handicapping and smart line shopping.
