    How does SBR odds
    post the 'unofficial' 5D lines for the English Premiership hours before 5D puts up their lines?

    probably the same way it puts up erroneous numbers for Bookmaker and Legends. If any numbers appear for Bookmaker at all, that is. Stale numbers stay up for hours. Sometimes I will be looking at both Bookmaker and SBR lines when SBR has a wrong number, and the number on SBR will turn red --- but, the new number will again be wrong and no change will occur at all at Bookmaker. When I use the SBR odds, I have to log into Bookmaker and Legends and constantly compare the actual numbers with what SBR is showing. The other sites that I am using are usually correct -- I don't mind getting a few wrong numbers that cause me to go to the book and waste a little time discovering that the number at SBR is stale or incorrect. But with some of the books, SBR is wrong more often than right. Then on some days, lines for many of the books don't show up at SBR until hours after the book actually puts them up. This has gotten a lot worse over the last month or two. The SBR odds have made my life a lot easier since I discovered their line service about half a year ago. And now, after getting used to having this service provided for me, I wonder why they can't get correct numbers for certain books, but do just fine for other books. I would think that if SBR can get the odds to display correctly for one book, they could get them correct for all the books, since the same program must be in place for all?

        For some reason or another SBR Odds has really fallen off the last few weeks, bad lines, non existent lines, DSI/Bookmaker feeds are completely useless and line changes seem to delayed even more lately. What was once a great product has become run of the mill.

          Are there any free, decent (working) feeds for live or somewhat live lines?

                I find that suggestion interesting also. But I must be missing something! I can't figure out how to get the moneylines to display. And, I see 12 books on display but can't figure out how to get the books I want. I see BetonLine is advertised at the top, but it's odds are not shown -- so there must be a way to get that book and major players like Bookmaker and Pinnacle to display. Perhaps you need to be a registered member at therx before all the options are available to you?

                  I just checked the first two college games for today at 5dimes, which shows up for me at both SBRodds and rxodds. Both numbers at SBR are wrong, both at rx are correct. Need I go any further?

                    It has taken me two years to learn how to navigate SBR and learn all the things that are available at SBR. Or should I say I am two years into the learning process. Admittedly I am slow. I do not relish the opportunity, or the need, to learn a new site, but if I can figure out how to get the books I use to display moneylines at therx, SBR might be losing a customer. I spend hours here every day, have signed up for some new books thru an SBR link, but I certainly don't have enough time to visit both SBR and therx. I don't know why SBR has allowed this service to go so far downhill so fast over the last couple of months, but I hope the powers that be are paying attention because I really like it here.

                      I would venture that there have been XML changes that SBR haven't adjusted to because they have staff tasked elsewhere. Hopefully they'll fix it, but any free lines service isn't going to be 100% reliable; if you expect that pay the smallish fee for one of the pro delayed services.
