SBR Odds has failed!

Mikail · 10-05-10, 05:11 AM

Seriously! sbr odds used to be a reliable out to get current market odds up to the minute. Now it's just an inaccurate pile of nothing. I know it can be fixed because it worked fine before. What is it? Is it being sabatoged purposely? Or is it lazyness? Would like to see results.

Settle down

They are building it, we do understand your frustrations as many players rely on this service.

Bear with us and keep complaints coming so we can improve on it

Mikail · 10-05-10, 05:44 AM

That's all we keep hearing, "they are working on it" but it just keeps getting worse.

Re build coming in Late december

Too busy pushing poker.

Is having the odds page working correctly too much to ask of the best sports betting forum in the world? I don't think it is!

pavyracer · 10-05-10, 09:15 AM

The odds are always off. I use other outfits like oddsportal.

Each project is independent of the other, and has different development teams working 7 days a week on them.

Rebuilding is a big undertaking, it's expected that there will be errors spit out as the process runs its course. If you come across a glaring one or maybe a repeat issue that you've noticed, shoot us a message directly & if it's something not already on the dev teams radar we can reward you with some SBRpoints for the heads up.

Once the rebuild is complete you should see a faster and more stable SBR Odds platform then ever before. Constructive feedback along the way is always appreciated.

i love the sbrodds site. even though it does not always work thanks nonetheless

clonecat · 10-05-10, 09:57 AM

Will Heritage be added to SBR odds?

prop · 10-05-10, 10:06 AM

I'm funded at 22 of those 29 sites and of those I only know two that are frequently off:

Bodog - due to line profiling
IAS - which apparently there is a long lag between SBR updating them.

The 7 I don't use so wouldn't know about are: Guardian, Island, Rebate Wager, Loose Lines, Will Hill, ABC and Jazz.

Other than that everything seems fine.

blackbart · 10-05-10, 10:14 AM

very slow on sia, other than that what are the issues? I use it every day.

SBR_John · 10-05-10, 10:19 AM

It's been very tough lately. The Bodog feed is very poor and lately all of the Bookmaker feeds have become unstable. I'm running it now beside a $300 a month service and most the changes are happening a few seconds apart. The scoreboard is faster. Sbr needs to just take down those unstable books like Bodog or needs to do a much much better job determining that the feed is hung.

hhsilver · 10-05-10, 10:22 AM

of the 5 books i use it for, i think it's been very good except for dsi where it was very slow to get their changes during the last week of mlb

IAS we always have problems with, they seem to change their XML feeds every week. And yeah bodog is horrible with profiling. We spend more time fixing IAS and Intertops than all the other books combined.

dwaechte · 10-05-10, 10:43 AM

I still find it really useful as a free service but have noticed it being unusually slow with Bookmaker and SIA. No complaints though as I realize this is often more on the books than SBR.

Mikail · 10-05-10, 10:48 AM

Not that this is a big deal but the scores are way to slow. This is not the main concern. I do appreciate that sbr provides this for us free of charge. I just remember that it has worked without fault before and would like it to be as good as it was if not better.

Good point

Walker where you getting $300 a month for a line service??

There is no reason for the bodog feed to be up there to began with... No one using SBRodds with any regularity is getting those imaginary prices anyhow...

No one who pounds the dogs for a few limit bets gets it for long thats true. But believe it or not about 90% are on the square line set, including me(i'm dam sure not proud)... and of course all new clients get that line set. I would agree that 1 of two things needs to happen; 1)SBR should build a tool or someway know within minutes that the Bodog line is hung and unhung it or 2) Tell Bodog that until they provide us with a stable feed we can no longer display their odds.

No need to pound limit bets there to get off the square side... My average bet there is probably around a $100 but I've been on the square set for years there (and was put on it after one or two small bets)... I'm not doubting you are on the square set John or 90% of the customers are as well but really don't believe that you (or the 90% of bettors) are line shopping (that is the purpose of line services right?) and still on it...

I use to SBRodds because my bets aren't enough to justify paying for a service but place my bets at whatever book I have funded that offers the best line... I'm assuming I'm the type of bettor the service is aimed at and can't believe any bettor in a similar position is getting the square lines that bodog is advertising there for long...

I'm assuming the reason they are still listed there is because they pay to be and they are seeking new signups but honestly this seems pretty shady (i.e. very close to baiting and switching?) as anyone that deposits there for the good lines advertised there (and bets them) isn't going to be receiving those lines after a couple bets (unless my experience there is unique but, having read alot threads on Bodog, I'm confident it isn't) and they are profiling based on what you bet not how much you bet...

LVHerbie · 10-05-10, 03:54 PM

I still use Bodog but it is kindof irritating (given that any sports bet I make starts with looking at SBRodds) that (unless there is a problem with a particular feed) Bodog is the only book I'm required to log into to verify the accuracy of the number advertised (and 95% it isn't correct)... It being listed there is better then nothing (having dealt with this for years so I got a pretty good idea what kind of line I'm going to find when I log in) but I think a better policy would be that if books use two line sets (ie bodog) they would be required to list both of them (or provide us with an option of which we want displayed)...
