Default New Competition for DonBest

LinesMover Enters Real-Time SportsBook Odds Arena

To compete with multi-million dollar industry giant Don Best - a Big Stick Media company


Last update: 10:12 a.m. EDT May 11, 2008

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 10, 2008 /The WALL STREET JOURNAL/ -- LinesMover, LLC today announced the immediate availability of LinesMover version 1.0.1.15 software.

This customizable, cross-platform application provides users with Real-Time sportsbook odds, injury reports, news, etc.

A customer-inspired release, LinesMover provides accurate and dependable performance.

"The product is a result of requests by industry leaders to develop a program solution for a changing industry," said Don Larkin, vice president at LinesMover. "The Premium service many had used for years experienced competition back in July, 2007. As such, the quality of the service became less than what we had known in the past. The newly founded competitors, in the opinion of many we have spoken with, also failed to live up to industry expectations."

Built on Microsoft's .NET Framework, LinesMover provides exciting new ways for users to customize and interact with their Personal Settings, On Screen Tools, Short Cut Commands, Message Center and Live Scores Program.

"We developed the LinesMover product to be a cut above our competition. We are very grateful to our team of programmers and gaming industry leaders for their help and support," said George Barbo, programming director at LinesMover. "Our next generation programming allows for expedient implementation of improvements and new features that will keep us ahead of the game today and in the future."

Pricing and Availability
LinesMover is immediately available as a 14 day free trial.

Have you ever heard of a PR launch of a product that didn't have some form of this language in it?"

We created an xml feed to import the Injuries. There are 21 Injury Messages this morning. If anything, it may too much information as it reports on all players.

I like the way DonBest focuses on Key Players.

I personally have the sound turned off for "injury reports" as it can be a bit distracting.

Thanks for answering some questions...

Which sports books will actually be seen in REAL TIME odds?

What is your current relationship with CRIS, GRANDE, PINNACLE & JAZZ?

Keneke--

Instead of the gobbledygook, just tell the folks why your product is specifically better than the next guys.

Your "Pricing and Availabilty" is an example of the dodge.

Instead of revealing the pricing information, you offer a "free trial."

Just tell us what it costs, for God's sake, and we can go from there.

THE SHRINK
All of the books are real-time.
List includes 5Dimes, Cascade, Cris, BetJamaica, DSI, Catalina, Grande, Greek, Jazz, LasPalmas, Pinnacle, SkyBook, and SportBet.

We do not currently have a personal relationship with Cris or Grande.
Our relationship with Jazz is very good. (Great people, and very well managed)
I personally have had a very good relationship with Pinnacle since before they were online. I believe their first site was PlanetPinnacle. Is PlanetPinnacle correct?

Sorry Jeff,
I did not understand your prior post.
Thanks for the question.
Cost is $288 per month for players and $488 per month for books. Both are the same version.
We do not have an Express or Lite (Delayed version). Hopefully we never will. So the $288 is a way to provide the Player with a quality product at a fair price.

Forgive me on this one. But it may be better not to discuss relationships in this environment. Please feel free to ask questions about the LinesMover Software.
I will be pleased to try and provide the answers.

Hello Gambler,
We have had the program in a number of books for about the last five months. Everything seems to be working properly. Had a bug here and there as expected during Beta, but nothing major.

We delayed the release because we kept making improvements. Many thanks to some of the industry folks that helped us with their suggestions and criticism.

Bottom Line: Nothing in life is perfect, but we feel comfortable with the product's quality and performance. And yes, we still look forward to future improvements.

How about sponsoring a contest and giving out three free services for one year. Then these guys would be able to give feedback throughout the year. Imo this will help you out come football season if you guys are good.

Hello Raiders,
I will speak with The Shrink and will do my best to accommodate. He has been very kind to allow me to post here.

Besides, I am a Raiders fan. Been a fan for 45 years.
45 years? Is Al Davis really that old?

Is this really the right time to offer up a lines service? Didn't you miss the boat some 18 months ago?
