  • Don Best announces debut of DBS2K

    July 5, 2001

    LAS VEGAS -- Don Best Sports, already the world's unquestioned line service leader, has enhanced its Premium Service with a myriad of features just in time for football season.

    The new-age Premium Service, called DBS2K, will be available beginning July 10 at the same monthly rate ($500.00) for both existing clients as well as first-time accounts.

    Current Don Best customers will be offered a free trial of DBS2K. Please check our Web site on July 10 to download the new version.

    Not only will DBS2K users continue to receive all of the Premium Service's unparalleled features -- live odds, updated results, steam plays, injury reports, weather forecasts and pop-up messages when breaking news occurs, to name just a few -- but these revolutionary additions as well:

    Major Line Move Alerts

    The Major Line Move Alert automatically notifies customers immediately when there is a major line move on a game. (Also called "steam," a major line move is caused by professional bettors simultaneously betting the same game at several sports books -- or when a significant injury is announced). The parameters for what constitute a major line move are determined by each individual user and programmed into the system. For example, a customer can program DBS2K to alert him when three sports books move a line in the same direction within 10 seconds. When that occurs, the system will provide both visual and audio alerts.

    Line Seeker

    The new Line Seeker alerts customers that certain predetermined lines have become available. The Line Seeker can be programmed for an unlimited number of games, including both sides and totals. For example, if the New York Jets currently are +2, users can program DBS2K to provide both visual and audio alerts if the price moves to +3 at any specified sports books.

    Bet Tracker

    Bet Tracker truly is an awesome, one-of-a-kind innovation in the gaming industry. In similar fashion to an online brokerage account, bettors can log their wagers -- then watch as DBS2K incorporates live scores, and grades all bets to provide a running tally of their net winnings.

    Customization

    Additionally, the new-look screen is fully customizable. That means columns and rows can be sized, highlighted and shaded for easier viewing.

    Advanced zoom capability also allows supreme control over the scores and team name fields so that more casinos can be viewed on a single page.

    Sounds like some nice improvements. Now how about cutting the price a bit --- like maybe in half? I'm sure you could get at least twice as many customers at half the price.

      I will be very surprised if some of us pay for the island express service. Can you imagine paying for a two minute delayed service when there are some out there that are free? Well, we will see I guess. But I am prepared for next week when island express starts charging. I guess the next thing will be to pay for yesterdays winners.

          They will have to improve the current version of Island Xpress to make it worth $99. They need to make sure all books update. The injury reports and what not will make it more worth while as well.

            Here's what I think: So long as the same books appear on each service (IslandXpress and Premium), one can reasonably determine whether to pay $0, $99, or $500 per month. This would depend on which features and what update time is needed by the user.

            But to offer different sportsbooks on the services, is to make some players think that they have to pay for both services. That just doesn't seem right.
