If you are wondering how Sports Insights’ Sportsbook Insider Pro Membership, with real time live odds updates, compares with Sports Options, you’ve come to the right place. Sports Options offers a real time odds service that has become popular over the last couple years. As a relative newcomer to the sports information industry, you would think that SportsOptions.com would offer innovative new concepts or products. Think again.
Sports Options is yet another run-of-the-mill live odds service that offers very little above standard live updates. Their injury updates and live odds are both reasonably fast, but what about innovation? What about analysis? Sports Insights remains the only live odds service to go above and beyond the industry standards, and we do it at a fraction of the cost of our competitors.
You don’t have to take our word for it. In fact, the well-known and unbiased About.com has rated SportsInsights.com as a “5-Star” sports information site. The review was written by Allen Moody, a 30-year sports gambling veteran with great knowledge of what makes a quality sports information website. Read the Sports Insights Review here.
Why would someone pay $299/month for a service that is inferior to our $249/month Sportsbook Insider Pro service? We have no idea. Sports Insights has always been about helping sports bettors make better decisions based on facts. The fact is, switching to Sports Insights is the best decision you’ll make this season. You’ll get better sports betting information for a fraction of the cost. We challenge current Sports Options members to test their odds updating service against ours. You be the judge!
