Default Mini-rant - InstantActionSports

If anyone wants to see one of the all-time worst layouts of baseball lines, just have a look at this book. It's just one big block of words and numbers. I want to say there is absolutely nothing seperating games from each other; there are no horizontal lines or variations in spacing; but I could be wrong about that. If you look really close, each game may be in a slightly different shade of off-white. I'm not even sure about that. Depends how the light is shining on my monitor.

You can see what I'm talking about from the Live Lines. When you're logged in, it's actually worse.

You've really got to try to pick out the runline you want from the far right column when there is a full sched of games on the board to get the full experience.

It's just one of those things that makes you scratch your head and say, "Dudes!"

That is all.

it shows up pink and white for me, looks OK.

Why do you use this out ?

What's with the bright white flash every minute or so on SBR ?

If I look really close I can see what you mean by the pink but the contrast is VERY faint. I can only see it with the screen tilted a certain way. Oh well.

The main reason I started using them was because Bill posted some office photos - which prompted me to start a sportsbook discussion thread about them - but no one had any first hand info. So I figured I'd be a good soldier and try them out.

The MLB lines are respectable. Dime lines on sides that break high. Respectable bonuses. I wouldn't give them any kind of rousing recommendation - C rated book - but the MLB lines are sporadically useful.

I could do that - but I enjoy a good rant.
