    I love TheGreek, but your right, their software can certainly be annoying at times.

    I love Matchbook's software, although mainly I just like the idea of an exchange. It's nice to be able to place the bet without ever leaving a single screen.

    That is nice, but its hard to navigate and find games on days with huge cards since everything is categorized by game #

    5dimes uses frames. I guess a lot of these off shore sites are using circa mid-90's web design standards.

    Bodog gets (and deserves) a lot of sh*t for their lines, but that's what a sportsbook interface should look like in my opinion.

    You know whats a shame is that betus has pretty good software and so do alot of the "D" or lower tier books.I guess they want it to be easy for you to let them steal from you
    I miss mansion they had some of the best exchange software out there

    I actually agree here, finding the game initially isn't easy on matchbook, especially for large college cards. However, I like the interface once you have selected a game.

    I have criticisms of all those I use

    I note Matchbook gets a few ticks here

    I'd go along with that except that it is dreadfully unreliable
    When it works it's good but more often than not I find it doesn't display my offers or matches without a refresh

    Agree with a PP.....Betus has pretty good software and very easy to use. Too bad they rip you off and the lines suck.
    I just got away from them and moved to 5dimes....they are ok...but not great.

    I'd have to say Matchbook has several issues because:

    1.You sometimes doublebet on accident. Someone will accept your bet and there is a slight delay, and if you try to bet at another price, sometimes you will get an accepted bet and buy a bet simultaneously. This part sucks.

    2.Sometimes you don't know if the bet was accepted or not due to glitches. You'll be wondering for minutes if your bet was accepted or not. Sometimes it is accepted and it doesn't even show up on the page.

    Seems Greek is getting a bit of a bagging

    Can't quite understand why?

    Sure, their site is quite different but it seems to work okay and not difficult to find what you're looking for at good speed

    I'd put quite a few below them, including Pinnacle

    I am just answering the question.

    No, the shitty software is not by biggest knock against Greek, that would be their 20-cent baseball lines.
