      I do jj.I have always used best and I am trying out sportsoptions.I am really wondering if it is worth it though with the big price every month.

      Line shopping isn't a really big deal anymore,the exchanges are almost always going to have the best line out there besides a local and watching for steam moves or watching line movements hasn't added up to squat for me this year in baseball and football is still pretty early in the season.It really takes alot of time involved out of your day to justify having a line service,and that's my problem lately.Too many other things going on to justify the monthly price.

      Scalping is really pointless for me at least with my bankroll right now,scalping hasn't been worth the time and effort for for years at least for me.


      I mainly use it for injury updates ,and the sheer fun of monitoring line moves .The free services are great even with a time delay but there is something to be said for a line service if you really are making an investment in gambling.

      Who knows how long sportsoptions will be around either,what a mess over at the rx and with all this drama between them and cris.Unreal how cutthroat this business is.

        Hey very good post jgm! Man you covered it all.

        I said a couple of years ago the price would have to come down.I've been wrong on that or not proven right yet. I base that on the fact that players make a lot less with the service than they did in the past, as jgm eluded to.

        Eventually we will see a few line services and they will charge from $99 to $199.

                    approx 10 good books now
                    very difficult even to move money around to two or three therefore eliminating the need for a line service.

                    Line services were great when you funded 5-10 books and were moving money all the time, now since you cannot trust most books and fundung is hard the amount of books a player is playing at is greatly reduced therefore no need to have a live screen. Just keep a few windows open and make your own free live line serice and save tons of money.

                    Don't waste your money

                    Maybe 2% of gambling world needs premium a line service including bookmakers and maybe of that 2% maybe .10% of posters need one.

                                Every line service is off 5 minutes sometimes, none are close to perfect.

                                  Why pay for a line service when you can use SBR Odds? Most of us are not betting thousands of bucks a game so it makes more sense to use the best free product on the market, even sharps that do bet big don't always justify the cost of some pay service.

                                    Been a SportsInsights subscriber for a couple of years. Must have for me. SBRlines' feeds aren't reliable enough.

                                      SportsOptions is dead on, but way too expensive.


                                      CrazyL. Accuracy is very important.

                                        sbrlines is good enough for me. For information I use sbrlines stats then I use beted stats for over/unders. Beted has solid ou stats breakdowns for their players
