    Anybody else use Vegas Insider??

    Changed everything. Rotation. Game history. Point spread history. Sucks. What other sites offer correct rotation, scores, point spread history. Thanks.

    Agree. Only real gamblers know what other gamblers want need.

    Does V.I. still show public betting percentages?

    Couldn't find anything with a cursory glance, didn't realize they changed the whole layout.

    Awful, it resembles a cheap knock off of Microsoft Bing homepage.

    I like Vegas Insider for the ability to look at a teams entire schedule with spreads/totals.

    Ken Pom #1, Oddshark #2, and Vegas Insider #3 and I've been killing hoops

    I use Covers, but also use VI. VI pissed me off a while ago when they pulled down the odds pages of many of the offshores including Pinny. I liked how they had the whole season for each team so I can see further back than Covers which is their last 10 games up front. I can click on something additional on Covers still to see the whole year but its more clicking and more time this way. Oh well. Don't like the new format.

    Yeah they’ve been worthless for about 3-4 years now. They started manipulating their data and changing percentage money and what games were the top bet games each day based on what their sponsored books would tell them while hiding some of those games so that it wasn’t public information

    Yeah, and it's not that complicated.
    I'm the biggest nerd on these boards, but I don't need all the bullshit data.

    All too fancy or spaced out to suit phone templates.

    Give me old school columns and rows to see max amount of data on one screen.

    I find it peculiar to trash the layout of another sites odds page when ours isn't even reliable enough to stay online for more than a few days at a time......

    This is not a swipe at SBR but perhaps we should put less time into criticizing other sites when ours struggles to even stay online.....

    The absolute worst for scores/odds is the old format here. Terrrrrrrrible.

    Would be interested if there is another site like VI. For those that don't quite comprehend the issue, the site copied well into excel and was easy to split out rotation, team, closing line and scores. I could basically log an entire week of CBB including HT scores in less than 20 minutes. Old Don Best worked this way. Pretty much any other site I find either won't paste into excel or requires a lot more data manipulation.

    Well complain about other sites odds but this site used to be my go-to for odds now its a joke. Bet365, 888sport, Uniway, Betway... wtf? I never even heard of 3 of those and I don't care what their lines are. I had to go to Wagertalk. At least they have the offshores I bet at.
