How can I use spiders to get lines if I'm not a programmer? I'm tired of having to have so many browsers open then going back and forth checking each one

Berkley has a wonderful CS program. You could learn how to program & be within minutes of you beloved Raiders.

It's a win - win

I'd rather be as far away as possible from both the Raiders and Bears but unfortunately I'm here in Chicago. Any websites that you could direct me to for help with my spiders problem or would I need to be able to program?

As an alternative to spiders you might try Browse3d. It can forward cache up to 180 pages at a time, has a pretty cool GUI (rotating, configurable three-dimensional cube with the pages laid out on it; picture a Rubik's Cube covered in web pages instead of coloured squares.)

You can configure one page to contain thumbs of up to (I think) twenty-five pages at a time, and highlight each one for details. Lots of neat shit.

Downside: prolonged use can cause major headaches due to your eyes adjusting to a "three dimensional" interface which is in fact flat ... makes you get queasy when you look at the actually 3-D world after looking at the simulated 3-D for four or five hours. This may not be a universal thing however; I do get it when using Browse3D, the ROOMS desktop UI, some first-person-shooter video games, etc. Obviously not everyone suffers the same problem or the products would likely not exist.

No, but it sounds simple enough to build/use.
Seems like a cheap/effective solution for many people.

Nice link Phad.

Newbie-
Interesting site, but it takes sooooo long to load a page (over 90 seconds) and you don't get sides, totals, money-lines at same time. They are all on different screens.

Faster to be logged into the books you use and hit refresh on 10 different screens.

The program name: sssp_livelines.pl is in both links. Too much to be a coincidence. Must be the same software program.

Mimitech is the slowest software I've ever seen.

The lines move by the time the page loads

Yes, it's the same software.

The original site is so slow because all requests for line updates go through their own servers (Mimtech's), and then to the sportsbooks' websites.

As I understand it, they also sell (or lease) the software to end users. The end users install the software on their own servers, and the spiders go directly to the sportsbooks' websites. That's why "Dime Lines" service is so much quicker.

I went to Mimtech's site. No information there that refers to the spider program. How much do they lease/sell it for?

Dime per month/year? Curious how it compares to DonBest. (DonBest can run on your normal computer, and doesn't require you to have a server to run it.)

per year.

Some people love it, but personally I don't like it.

I was also hunting for something like this. I gave up and just hooked up 3 computers.

Now im lookinf for something to make my lines screen automatically update after so many seconds. I think its different than simply refreshing for sites like pinnacle where you actually have to hit update vs the refresh button. Newbiee, hows your workin?
