I've used both and simultaneously. DGS is hands down better. Some things are more user friendly on ASI, especially for the agents. But it's really handy-capped on certain restrictions and like others have said, if you have some big betters you just end up pissing them off. ASI was good 10 years ago, but I haven't seen any improvements, while DGS keeps making upgrades. Making new line types on dgs (stores on asi) is way more complicated and time consuming, but it's worth it when it's finally done. It allows so many more variables. DGS now has everything that agents have bitched about, being able to move a complete linetype or specific agent lines themselves. They still bitch about not being able to change limits themselves, but if you could sit them down in front of the program and say "here you go", they would gladly be happy for you to do it for them. IMO, if you don't like DGS, it's because you are just overwhelmed on it's complexity and don't know how to work it.
This is the kind of input i was hoping to get. thanks for taking time to post.
One thing that I'm not getting is these "house circles" or whatever that pisses off big bettors. Knowing about them going in can you not just write a "profile" (dgs term) to get around them?
Also good to know the comparison of Line Type (dgs) vs store (asi). Can you explain what makes the dgs line type better than asi?
On ASI when you circle a game it is done on the linemovers page so it affects every bettor. There is now way around it. On DGS under a profile that you can assign to any number of players, you have game types (regular, 1st half, 2nd half, circle, etc) this is where you can control the limits for each sport. You can do this on ASI as well, but the difference is when you start getting into certain games where you want to have special limits. The Grand Salami for instance. You can limit some guys to 500 others to 1000, or whatever number you want. ASI can't do it. A better example would be football correlated games (not to offend but in case you don't know are games where the side is 3 times or less the total and are restricted on hookups...ex -21 and 35 o/u). Since you can't bet favorite to over or dog to under on these it pisses a lot of guys off. But you can allow favorite to under or dog to over. ASI can't get that done. Also, you can allow some of your players no restriction on those or maybe a small limit, while the bulk of your players have the standard restrictions. With ASI, if you put on a hook up restriction it is for the entire book. The kicker for me was that I couldn't take off hookups for first 5 inning bets without taking them off for the game as well. For me in today's gaming atmosphere, ASI is just way outdated.
As far as the comment I made about ASI stores to DGS linetypes, this was the one negative I meant for DGS. I didn't explain myself well. But the negative is really for the guy in the office making the linetype. When all is said and done the end product is pretty much the same, it just takes more work to get DGS accomplished. DGS has two ways to input the juice too. If you have any Asian players that are into this -105 shit, you can do that by making certain sports specific odds a flat 10cent line, or by doing juice rebates that make it a moving 10 cent line. If you have ambitious guys in the office that play around and find little tricks, like me (blowing my own horn), you can also create instances where guys get -105 flat, but when you get that lovely NFL week where every game is 3-125 or 3.5 +105, those games get a moving 20 cent line. Tricks that ASI can't get done.
Continuing with the linemovers perspective, it's also way easier to hide games selectively (so certain players can't see them while others can), I can't remember if you can do that on an entire store of if it is the whole book for ASI, but I do remember you have to do it one by one, where DGS is highlight all the games you want and do the command. Also, moving lines is slow and tedious on ASI. You have to use the mouse a lot. For DGS, you can do everything from the keyboard. This is nice when you have lots of games (thinking cfb and when cfb and cbb are at the same time). You bounce from sport to sport with one button, type in the game number and it takes you there, move the game line, bounce to the 1h move it and never touch the mouse. Nice and smooth. ASI is scroll, scroll, scroll. If you have sharp players you can get beat on the lines a lot when they start moving on a Saturday morning.

I am a fan of both - but the website that i use just switched in the last 48 hours from ASI to DGS and i have to say that i am really enjoying the DGS platform, it is much better! My website provided an easy transition, as i like to say their execution was flawless. Being an agent - DGS provides a variety of reports that are quick and easy to run. Being a customer - i might say that DGS seems a bit more user friendly and overall seems like a more intelligent platform.
i am very happy with DGS thus far and will keep you all posted as i become more of a DGS expert. Pura Vida

I think that the player end is not the important part. The agent backend is what will sell your product. All a player cares about is seeing the lines and betting them, at least in the pph side. Maybe post up you would need a neater site. Players on the credit end deal with guys who pay them and will bet anywhere they put them. Someone disagree with that.
In my experience DGS, actually DGS is the updated version of Softech from IQL, so those two are great softwares, and if you have a good programmer you can do great changes to the web part.
I have use different softwares but i will stick to Softech or DGS, maybe one from i friend i now which is good also but he havent put a name to software. Wont recommend the one im using now, everyday i have problems, software have a good idea but still needs tons of work.
