Damnit... I was hoping it would be ready in time for MLB

BLACKIE · 03-09-11, 10:25 AM

No, what I'm saying is that all the peices should be clicking by then. We brought this software to market in less then 9 months and feel we can have the ideal exchange running by football.

Fishhead · 03-09-11, 10:36 AM

Thanks Blackie........the product will only get better with time.

blueghost · 03-09-11, 10:57 AM

also in thanks should be fun

THEGREAT30 · 03-09-11, 11:48 AM

Why are there so many missing lines. Like we are about 20 mins away from tip of UConn at GTown and no total line is posted? That's something you could fix or maybe just fill me in being I am a newbie to the exchange laws.

Fishhead · 03-09-11, 01:01 PM

Sorry if I missed it somewhere, but what is the commission structure going to be?

Good good good. I think what you might be saying is that there needs to be a better navigation system place ... where players can quickly view the available markets without needing to traverse the accordions. Would that be accurate? I totally do get your point, but I wonder if you realize that the various accordions can be dragged ad dropped around the screen. They can all be reordered vertically, and with a wide enough screen, horizontally into 2 or 3 columns. So what you could do would be spread out your market panels horizontally across and just keep the open orders and fills panels closed at the bottom of the screen, for example. Now that said the drag and drop system is probably still a bit clunky. For one, there's currently no way to save your layout from session to session and for another you might be dragging around a huge market panel with lots of games when you actually only care about one. Anyway ... this will be improved with time. That functionality will be in place shortly.[/quote]

I didn't know you can move things around. Will try doing that today and see how it goes.

It will be structured like a real exchange. Members will have the option to buy seats with equity or lease seats month to month. Pricing structure on these options will be out shortly.

Ganch- For whatever reason the software is working fine for me now. No more random log-outs.

Fishhead · 03-09-11, 01:36 PM

Would like a way, if not available now, to list games in timezones of our choice.

Suggestion. A GTC feature, so that an offer could stand until the exact time the player specifies; kick-off time or fifteen minutes into the game.

Other features to personalize. Such as keeping all tabs open, instead of closed; and closing them by hand instead of opening them...; or ability to set a minimum amount in offers on the table before a tab opens.

When you click on 'view' for a game, why is there another click necessary?

mighty maron · 03-09-11, 02:51 PM

Stupid question http://www.xmexchange.com/ is a rebatewager project>? When will it go online for real?

To test the notoriously faulty poker software before they started having daily tournaments.

horja1 · 03-09-11, 03:33 PM

the Conn - georgetown game ended hours ago but the bets are not settled yet ...

VegasInsider · 03-09-11, 03:34 PM

Waiting for the Oklahoma State/Nebraska game to be graded.

The grading process has been very slow, not sure if that's just due to the beta testing or if it's the software. Hopefully grading can be done a little quicker.

However, I do like the website and enjoy using it. I think you might be on to something here, Blackie.

Fishhead · 03-09-11, 03:40 PM

An effective exchange must be able to grade wagers swiftly and accurately.

THEGREAT30 · 03-09-11, 03:44 PM

Pretty slow as others have stated. Also, some lines did not get posted like UConn/GTown total. This is very ineffective for contest purposes. If you are not going to be able to make picks when you want there is no catching those who are in the lead unless they self destruct. Finally, it's a beta and these are just the issues you run into. I say give everyone a freeplay and go work on the software, adding more employees or whatever it is that is causing this slow process which includes lines being posted slowly and graded slowly.

The development team is working from a location outside of our offices and they have been dealing with power outages for most of the day. We will be moving everything over to our new office this evening and support will be provided by the RW staff. For purposes of this contest all account will be reset this evening and we will resume trading with tomorrow games. In addition we will add the rest of the tourneys throughout this weekend.
