Which major Book has the worst wagering software?

[ABEHONEST]

Talk about some lousy online software!

I am going to list four major Books that have stinky, antique wagering software.

Help me with the winning [or losing] Book and vote. VOTE [ A B C D ]

Maybe we can embarrass these tightwads to spend some money on upgrading their software?

In no particular order:

A. Bookmaker
B. Betphoenix
C. The Greek
D. BoDog

[jjgold]

Bookmaker very very slow
Intertops

[rm18]

bet phoenix new version is horrible but old verison if you pick that is ok

[tltaylor89]

BetOnline hands fuking down my computer started humming when it went to that site.

Agreed... there's like a 30% chance on any given day that you can even get to where you want to go. Luckily for me I rarely use them. All the other sites mentioned are lightning fast compared to BetOnline. Although BetOnline did work well for me tonight. I was actually able to place a bet. That's a miracle!

[lordswing]

never had problems with BM/DSI's software, I suppose it might be slow if you were on 56K?

never liked TG's software either, needs a major overhaul

[brxbmbers42]

I never like Bet Jamaica

i like jamaica. one of my favorites. great horse setup

[ngates815]

Bodogs takes a minute or 2 to get into the lines. 5 dimes is pretty quick.

[MJFtheGenius]

DSI abd BM have been running slow during primetime hours for the first couple of weeks of NFL year

otherwise they have the best software

[WeinketoWarrick]

BetOnline.

Personally I freaking love The Greek. Might just put some money in there so I can use it again...

Not a fan of BM/DSI but it's alright. 5dimes has the best software.

[Richkas]

betgameday is bad. but its a great book

[ABEHONEST]

My two cents worth goes to Betphoenix!
Man, either I need to upgrade to a faster computer, or Phoenix does? On a busy night with the old version, I have to wait 30/ 45 seconds to update, or change pages.
And that new version, you have at least two deletions to make before you can make another wager? {that's not new to me}

2nd. place losers would be, maybe the richest Book, Bookmaker. Just getting on to the wagering page takes me at least 30 to 40 seconds. Probably, because of those irritating commercials they throw at you?And,... every time!

The Greek's wagering pages look like something out of the rip roaring 80's! Fast getting in, slow to play and accept a wager.

BoDog has pretty software but too slow getting to your picks, and, he only let's you buy a 1/2 point! What's the POINT?

[jgray]

DSI is always very slow for me.

5dimes is awful for 2H lines. You have to hunt for the game you want after all the full games that haven't started. Then every time you refresh you go back to the top of the page. BetJam/BetPhx/DSI do a much better job with their software for this type of wagering.

[LostBankroll]

bet phoenix new version is horrible but old verison if you pick that is ok

This.

Old version works so quick. Allows you to parlay soccer with NFL NBA MLB all that shit 5dimes lets you do. But you WONT be allowed to do this using the NEW software... BetPhoenix is a solid book imo... Ask for the -105 lines they will give them to you!!!!

[jgilmartin]

I personally think Bookmaker's is excellent. Yes, it is a little slow if you are logging in 5 minutes before NFL games or something, but what book isn't?

The Greek's is the worst I've seen.

[HauntingTheHoly]

Bodogs takes a minute or 2 to get into the lines. 5 dimes is pretty quick.

Seriously? I was about to contribute the exact opposite to this thread. I have bodog but want out and into a different book, 5dimes is leading candidate except that it takes forever to load their "live lines" on the web page. Is that what you're talking about? They load quickly for you?

[MBENZ]

Greek hands down.Try making a parlay or round robin with timer beating down on you.Straight bets are fine but beyond that .

[HauntingTheHoly]

timer beating down on you? WTF does that even mean?

[MBENZ]

timer beating down on you? WTF does that even mean?

Do you play at Greek?If you don't get your bets in quick enough once you are logged into the betting page,a timer clicks on and if you don't beat it,it erases all the work you did.Frustrating as hell.

[MendozaLine]

fukin bookmaker and dsi.

If it wasnt so easy to fund an account with a card at those places, I would never play there.

[aceking]

legendz .

always get errors loading lines .

[Jnas]

The Greeks my least favorite

[aca]

My favorite is pinnacle!

[SBR_John]

Certainly not Bodog or 5Dimes, they are simple and easy. Those with the Digital software I personally like a lot, same as SBR Sportsbook has, Bookmaker, DSI, ect. I do agree Pinnacle's is the best.

[patswin]

legendz .

yeah i would say legends, never liked that software. a few books have it

[whatsgood5]

I'd say it's a toss up between betjam and the greek.

[WeinketoWarrick]

Oh ya, I tried Legendz once. They definitely, defnitely, definitely have the worst.

And I don't understand all the hate for The Greek. I've never had a problem and I've done plenty of parlays and teasers too. Love that format.

[LVHerbie]

I think it was BetPhoenix old software that listed 1st halfs with regular games... This cost me several hundred dollars one time by mistakenly betting a 5 inning line instead of a full game in baseball...

I know I miss pinnacle setup (especially their dynamic lines) and still find uses for their software regularly (even though I can't bet there)... The one thing I hate more then anything is having to remember to refresh all the time for new lines and I can't understand why other books don't copy to create something similar to pinnacle's clean and effective setup...

My guess would be ; they don't want you betting so quickly and it gives them an opening to get more up-to-date lines freshened?

Also, I did switch to my laptop for faster speed, and to my surprise ...there is a major difference in speed!
So, I will have to move BP from that list , I think?
Even BM was quite a bit faster! And, for some reason, with the faster laptop, they skipped the boring and stalling commercials, too?

[clarkacal]

BetOnline is absolutely awful. Hopefully I can forfeit my freeplay I haven't used and get out of there asap.

The Greek is great. Not fond of the format but very fast.

[k13]

I like TheGreek's the best. Even though it looks like crap, its just great for everything.

Playing at pinny is kind of annoying me in someways.

Never thought I would miss thegreek's format.

[RonPaul2008]

The Greek has excellent software.

Bookmakers is slow...and being that they are the #1 U.S. facing book...they should have better software.

I sure "your guess" has alot of truth in it but (ignoring the dynamics lines part) I still can't see why books aren't willing to at least copy pinnacle's clean and easy to read layouts...

I also encountered something similar to your problem with my father who always complained about a slow internet connection (and actually switched providers because he thought this would help)... I tested it one time and of course the real problem was created by his dinosaur computer that he loaded with hundreds of programs (which mostly he never used)...
