99.9999999999% of services are crap. If they promise a refund you'll never get it. No specific info on this service, but I promise you in the long run, bad idea.

SportsOptions is Don Best. I have never used it or seen it but DB or something similar is obviously important for some things. Betting steam is going to get you booted not being sharp and that is what most of these sites preach, betting someone elses action.

From what I have heard DB is better by the way.

Must have. Couldn't bet without it. I think they have a 7 day free trial.

**raiders72001** · 12-26-12, 03:56 AM

Great for up to date injury reports.

**Fall778899** · 12-26-12, 07:13 AM

I'm strictly talking about line movement and value. I had the 7 day trial period and I was like a kid in a candy store. I wouldn't spend a penny for anyone's picks, but $300 a month is hard to absorb for the line service.

I use it. The line feed on CRIS is slower. Its feeds on pinnacle and Greek are faster.

I don't currently use Don Best, but I've been pretty happy with SO's customer service as well. They have been willing to add various features on request.

We use SO premium in the SBR office. We had both for a while. If you could get either one at the same price I'd take DB. But SO is half the price and nearly as good. Not a fan of the delayed service. In fact SBR is much faster if prices is all you are watching. Bottomline if you are turning super serious money go with DB and SO, next level just DB, serious but would rather not pay the extra $300 a month go with SO.

Hi Fall -

We do have some payment options that will get the price of our Pro service as low as $250 a month. If you are interested, you can email - rick@sportsoptions.com - and I will send you the info.

And if you have not tried it, you should give our Standard service a test run. We are currently running a Holiday Promo and giving away the Standard service for free thru the Super Bowl. You can get your free account here: http://www.sportsoptions.com/promo/91freeodds.php. It is a no obligation free trial - in fact we don't ask for any info, just click the link and get your account.

Thanks
Rick

Just a comment, why are MMA lines under Boxer? even free sbrodds has MMA in its own category. Also you dont have any of the fights that are lined up or Bellator lines.

I have never seen your service and am just checking it out, if I can fix these issues some of these great but I would never pay for the product as it currently is.

**Fall778899** · 12-26-12, 03:42 PM

Thanks Rick, love the service, can't wait to compare. Maybe I read this forum to much but it makes a guy paranoid about his money.

Hi Bumble -

Thanks for the feedback. The only reason we don't have a separate tab for MMA is because of some of our legacy programs. At one time the sportsbooks had all fighting under the boxing category, so that's how the program were developed. This is something that we will be changing in the near future.

As for the fights displayed on our service, typically MMA bouts are listed around 7-10 days in advance of the fights.

Thanks
Rick

unfortunately this is 100% true

atleast CRIS does not log you out anymore after a few mins of inactivity so you can just leave it open and re-act quicker

Hey Rick, Why is sportsbook.ag not a featured book ?

We do not have them as default sportsbooks, but we can add them to your account. Shoot me an email with your username (or pm here) and I will get them added for you.

Thanks
Rick

**Fall778899** · 12-26-12, 08:21 PM

Hi Rick I just emailed you with the info. Look forward to seeing it on there.

**RickA** · 12-27-12, 09:58 AM

Hi Fall - Sportsbook has been added to your account. To add them to your screen, you will need to close out of the program and log back in. You can then go to the Column Setup and add the Sportsbook column.

Thanks
Rick

**Joe Dogs** · 12-27-12, 10:13 AM

I think you can still buy a month of service with points from the sbr store.I used it for a month during baseball season,nice features such as starting line ups, whose behind plate and records of there over under stats,good stuff

**Scooter** · 12-27-12, 01:14 PM

Rick A - I'd like to be able to select which sports will get audio Halftime Alerts - currently if I want Halftime alerts, I get them for EVERY sport which is unnecessary, distracting, and causes me to waste time checking the screen to see if it's a Halftime for a sport I'm betting.

Hi Scooter - This is on our current development list and should be ready by the end of January.

**Kaps** · 01-26-13, 01:33 PM

they have been really dropping the ball this whole week... ive been very happy for the past 6 months since i switched over from db but really starting to get aggravated everyday with feeds not updating.

**Fall778899** · 01-26-13, 06:25 PM

Very frustrating !!!!!! Not complaining about free lunch

**darkhat** · 01-26-13, 09:22 PM

cheaper than dons best at least

**Kaps** · 01-26-13, 10:23 PM

yes .. it is cheaper ... but when it doesnt update at all during busy times this past week its almost not worth it
I really hope they fix these problems cause I love using SO .
