Where did you read about it? Is it on the internet?

G&J says it has created the ultimate computerized line service designed to provide bettors with up-to-the-second instant odds on all pro and college sports.

The service offers a dozen leading offshore sportsbooks on its screen, and a package that includes True Smart Money Moves, injury and weather reports, early overnight lines, half-time lines, money lines, matchups, scores, Sunday night football openers, free schedules, tech support and more.

Additional features designed to give serious bettors the edge they need in seeking the most advantageous lines are also available, said Gil and Joe, the principals of G&J Update, which has been operating since 1996.

A “recent change” feature lets customers receive a display screen showing instant changes of a line movement within a specified time. The “customize” feature allows clients to adjust the settings and appearances of all the books on the screen according to their own needs and interests. “Wiseguy moves” lets customers access plays of professional betting syndicates and includes a brief description of who they played, and at what line or price.

G&J is especially proud of the True Smart Money Moves feature which, they say, displays this info within seconds.

G&J’s real time computerized line service costs $250 per month, and can be tested at no charge on a two-day trial. Go to www.gjupdate.com for more information.

Gil and Joe acknowledged that Don Best has been the industry leader since the offshore industry emerged as a viable alternative to illegal bookies. “We realize that every industry has its Coke and Pepsi, Hertz and Avis, and now the sports betting industry has Don Best and G&J,” said Gil and Joe.

“Don Best has done a terrific job for bettors, but we’re here to challenge them on the basis of value, timeliness and meeting the needs of serious players,” they added, noting they each have been in the business since 1985.

What all this means for the players is more info, lower cost and some nice edges in taking on their bookmakers.

While Don Best and G&J slug it out to see who can provide bettors with the mostest and the fastest, ideally the payoff will be manifested in the positive growth of players’ bankrolls.

Some offshore bookmakers feel the emergence of the Don Best screen eroded the historical advantages that BMs enjoyed over the players. Some of them choose not to be displayed because it attracts the kind of action they wish to avoid. Other books are eager to be listed at Don Best because they relish the customers it delivers.

The addition of G&J’s computerized service gives players additional ammunition in the ongoing war with bookmakers.

It sounds good, but I am not in a position to afford 250 dollars a month. I am trying to find something to replace Island Express which is going from free to 99 dollars a month. So far, the best option I have found is Offshore Connection. They are as fast as island express but they dont have as many sportsbooks and you have to hit refresh to get the changes. Do you know any other line feeds?

Is there any trial period so we can try it?

Has anyone tried this service yet?

refreshing to see a new service. monopolys are no good. competition is good for the players. watch how fast that 500 bucks a month db charges drops.

I gave the service a little test run........

G&J offers a free two day trial, so I'd encourage those interested to try it out. Why not. It's free. You have nothing to lose.

The program is in a different format than Don Best. So it takes a little getting used to, but they offer a nice line up of books and the changes are fast, which of course, is what's most important.

The guys at G&J bring alot to the table in the way of a line service. They have been running a phone based service for several years and they know what they are doing.........they have integrated that into this new program, with their wiseguy and steam plays etc.etc..

Like I said, it's free to try it, so why not!
