KW, there is absolutely no good excuse for books like Pinnacle, Margarita, and Bowman's to not be online or at least be on the Don Best feed. Pinnacle is a big disappointment. Their website odds are seldom updated and are always inaccurate. Margarita is on the Feist SportsTracker, but that is a piece of software garbage. Bowman't much to their credit, promises to be online before the next milennium.

Pinnacle will be inline soon. Bowmans had mentioned being online very soon, but so far, nothing....and Royal will be up soon.

I disagree about them having to be on Don Best though. That's a matter of choice. Nothing wrong with preferring to stay off the screen, however I do agree that if they are going to be off the screen, they should have their numbers on their site.

Being able to post your numbers on your site is equivelant to walking into the Mirage and looking at their board. It's essential!

kw,
I've read some bad things about Bowman's. Do a search in this forum for 'Bowman's'; you might be glad you did.

Can I take this opportunity to appologize to all customers for the interuption to the Pinnacle line service on the internet.

We are currently in the process of launching our new full service online betting facility. To be launched to everyone on September 2nd.

To meet our deadlines and facilitate suitable testing before September 2nd, this has meant we have had to close down our old static line service for this month to ensure a smooth transition for our customers before Football season (American and European).

We do ask that you bear with us for the next month, because come September 2nd I know you will be impressed with our new site and what Pinnacle will have to offer for all sports.

If you have any further questions or problems do not hesitate to contact me.

I have had a peek at Royal's site and it looks sleek and fast.

The dealings I have had with Royal are all positive.

As always - Good Luck,
