    DBS set to debut Island Express Platinum
    July 4, 2001

    LAS VEGAS -- Beginning on July 15, Don Best Sports will offer two versions of Island Express for customers seeking a less expensive alternate to the DBS Premium Service.

    The free version of Island Express will display odds that are updated every 15 minutes from all IE sports books.

    It also will include highlighted line changes, scores, a customizable casino setup feature, injury reports and picks from the world-class DBS handicappers.

    IE Platinum will be similar to the current version of Island Express, with some additional features that are available on the DBS Premium Service. The cost of IE Platinum will be an affordable $99 per month.

    However, DBS is offering a special rate for the upcoming football season. Sign up today and receive IE Platinum through Super Bowl XXXVI for just $429.

    That's more than 6½ months of service at a savings of roughly $214.

    The new IE Platinum will display live odds updated every two minutes, highlighted line changes, wise guy or "steam" plays, free selections and upgraded Premium Service injury reports.

    One of the most valuable features of the DBS Premium Service is urgent messages. These alerts -- in the form of pop-up screens -- will be transmitted to IE Platinum customers on a five-minute delayed basis.

    That means whenever a significant player is scratched or suspended, or a pitching change occurs, or any late-breaking news happens that could have a material impact on the outcome of a game, you will be notified. This critical information will automatically appear on your computer screen -- provided you are logged onto IE Platinum.

    IE Platinum account holders also will have access to these features, which are available on DBS2K:

    Scores and box scores from every game
    Ability to print odds from every listed sports book
    Lineups and umpire assignments
    Date, time and pitcher changes in red font color
    Manipulation of the order in which casinos are appear
    A listing of previous prices to determine which way a game is moving


    A new facet of IE Platinum coming in the next several months is "Click & Bet."

    This exciting feature will allow IE Platinum customers the ability to click on any available line. From the IE Platinum odds menu, they will be linked directly to that particular sports book for convenient betting purposes.



    User names and passwords will remain active for existing Island Express customers for the new free version of IE.

    Please visit our Web site on July 10 for instructions on how to sign up for Island Express Platinum. For answers to questions concerning IE Platinum, please call:

    1-800-DON-BEST

    Or write to us, and a customer service representative will quickly reply.

    I cannot believe that Island Express is going to cost 99 dollars a month again. I thought it was great that it went free, even though some complained that there were problems. I could see a live service charging, but one that is delayed by two minutes? I guess those of us who just can't afford this extra expense will have to find another way to get the changes. So far, I have heard of instant odds, tip-ex, and americas line. Anyone have any others? Which would be the best for the most up to date changes. After all, football is right around the corner.
