I cannot make heads or tails of their sportsbook lines.

One of my very favorites.
Everything is right there, without having to click on 50 sub categories for different sports, halves etc. Then at other books you have to wait for all those pages to load everytime, which sucks on dialup...

Haven't played there since the middle of nba season, but it really is bad. I think your approach is solid but the site is weak at this point.

Wow, what a cluttered mess. Had never looked at the site until reading this thread. This is really the result AFTER a redesign?

For a book that's supposed to be low juice you sure have some high juice. For example they have the moneyline for The Czech Republic -243 and Sweeden +160. Their total is -117 ov and -134 under for a 51 cent line. Why do books insult us with such ridiculous juice.

with all due respect please take your time to research what

"Spread `0` and alt bets"

means and you would understand why there it is a little bit different juice...

As much as I like MegaSB, I am not really crazy about the interface. It is a lot better than it was a few months ago, I will give them that. One thing that I have noticed is that unless they have hidden the button somewhere esoteric, one can no longer make parlay bets. I don't do a lot of parlays so it's not really an issue, but it is suprising to see an apparently no-parlay book.

I'm well aware of what a spread bet is and a total bet. Why can Pinnacle do spread bets at 8 cents while you do them at 45 cents? Your totals are a 51 cent line.

Pokerking,

There is no point in arguing their vig! You are wasting your time. If you really need the low vig to win on the European football, then apart from Pinnacle make sure you have an account with www.pacificsportclub.com

I agree with Phaedrus it's a lot better than a few months ago.That being said, I understand most betting options but this just does seem to be a mess. It's just not easy on the eyes when you are trying to find a particular game or spread.I don't know anything about web designs but something like IIS, Pinnacle, and Wagerstreet are my 3 favorites when I want to make a quick bet.Color shading the lines is great too.Those places get a lot of my action just because of their ease of use.

to Phaedrus (...one can no longer make parlay bets...):

Thanks for letting us know: we will add one more button specially for "Parlay" bets to make it more conspicuous for for all (even not very experienced) players

to Keith Richard:
(..Color shading the lines is great too...)

actually we now also use color shading. or you would prefer some other kind of color shading?

oilman :
Could you be more specific, what exactly you don't like and what would you expect to make betting more convenient ?

Sorry for not replying earlier.

Looking back I think the biggest issue I had was that the lines page was very cluttered and not in a format that is similar to many others. Familiarity with these things is helpful when a player is looking for a new book.

Looking at the site now my biggest complaint would be the lines way to pricey. Now I can certainly understand not wanting to give away the store during MLB, but will you still be offering -104 during NFL?

Anyway, good luck. I for one would like to see you thrive as I am a reduced juice WHORE.

As far as the formatting goes, I think most people prefer to see lines written verically not horizontally. Even among the books that do use the "horizontal" format like thegreek and sia, I think mega is the hardest on the eyes.

I think some others made some valid pints about the juice. If you are going to try to promote yourself as a low vig book for football and basket ball, you can't gouge peopel on all the other lines. If I have to choose between pinn and mega, then its true at mega I get -104 on the FULL game for football abd basket ball vs -105 at pinn. But on halftimne lines, and in every other sport there is no comparison.

So it just seems to me that Megasb is really only for people who have more than enough capiatl to fund both pinn and megasb, and just want to save themselves an extra cent in juice during football and basketball. But otherwise I can't see any other reason to deposit there. I just don't undrstand what customers they are targeting.

Could you try our sister book www.OnsideBet.com and tell us what is better for you to view the lines?

to ALL RX members:
------------------

By the way we would be glad to offer $5 bucks to any RX poster to test our new betting interface at MegaSB.com or OnsideBet.com

please send by E-mail your RX nickname and your sportsbook login to info@megasb.com and we would set up a real $5 account for you
(of course if there will be too many "applicants" we will have to stop this "new betting interface" promotion :) and I will post here about that)
