Whose betting software do you like the best?

I like Olympic (Action Software)

Curious to hear your response

[<KILLDEE>]

Wagerstreet and Carib--both are easy and fast..

[<frosty>]

i like wagerstreets too. very fast. very easy to use.

I think cascade uses the Wagerstreet software. If so, I like it alot. WSEX has always been great. The books that use the wwts type system, I like that as well.

I think it's really a matter of just being used to a particular software. I don't have any major problems with any of them.

My biggest complaint is being logged out after a short period of time!

This is an easy one.....

If the books software "times out," then their software settings sucks.

Top of the World uses the same package as All World, Heritage and WWTS. TW does NOT time out but All World and the rest do!!!

Pinnacle has a pretty nice set-up until you have to refresh thier lines after 2 minutes if you wish to make a bet. That sucks too!!!

So Bravo to books like The Olympic, WSEX, Carib, Sportsbook.com, Wagerstreet, Cascade, Camelot and to TW for NOT Timing us out!!!!

I'll second that time out complaint. Very frustrating. What are they scared of? I think there's some browsers on the market that automatically refresh, which would probably help with the time out. Hopefully!

WSEX is the best there is with no timeouts. Also like Camelot and Betmaker for their auto login feature.

Aces with 4 confirmations has got to be the hardest to navigate, especially with the quick timeout feature.

May all your bets be winners

I think the players agree across the board about the time out thing.

Wsex is always an amazement because theor software was one of the first ever, and really hasn't changed all that much since day one.

Caribs software was also done by the same programmer who did wsex's.

The one thing that is great about Carib's software is the way it takes "if" bets.

Say I play a game tonight at 6:00 . . . decide at 6:30 that if it wins, I'd like to play another.

With Carib, you simply make the second wager and they have a drop down box on the confirmation page that allows you to make it an "If" bet, tied to whatever bets you have open - like the one you made at 6:00.

All the other books make you make all the wagers at the same time - no going back and adding a bet if a prior wager wins.

Anyone else know of books that do it like Carib?

As always - Good Luck,

Sonny

WSEX without a doubt! none of that useless BS! who needs fancy colors & pictures? fast & to the point...like it outta be!

[jacmar]

Does anyone know why WSEX wont accept point buying on totals? That is the only reason keeping me from joining them.

Hello Group,

The reason for timing out is twofold.

A.Just sitting on a page you are tying up the operations bandwidth,in essence "clogging the pipe"

B.Security.

Yours, if you walk away from your account and leave it unattended.

The companies,the timeout is also the same amount of time in the call center,usually 10 minutes.

That should be more than ample time for you to place your bet and prevents the opportunity of heaven forbid "larceny" between a player and a clerk where the clerk could leave your account open and then either delete your wager if it's going in the toilet or place a bet for you on a 10 point dog winning by 10 at the half.

Some of the less sophisticated software programs even allow you a "window of opportunity" to beat the moves on the screen by just sitting with the page open.

Some of these antiquated software systems have a "window" as big as three minutes before the change entered appears on your screen and tells you the line has changed.

You want to talk about software that "sucks"?

How much does that "suck" for the operation using that software?
