Sports Options vs Sports Insights

SportsOptions.com offers a live odds service that has become popular over the last couple years. As a newcomer to the sports information industry, you would think that Sports Options would offer innovating 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 odd 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 26-year sports gambling veteran with great knowledge of what makes a quality sports information website. Read the full article.

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 know that serious sports bettors value getting the most for their money, and that’s why we know that you will be glad to have chosen Sports Insights over Sports Options, or any other competitor.
