i need everybody's help, please

[MadJack]

we have a new product that is ready for testing. we wanted our own that is similar to wagerline and bigguy and spent a small fortune having one developed for us. we want ours to be the best and are asking you folks to help us get it done for you.

the basic product is finished and the system needs to be tested by large numbers and that's one thing we need you to help us with. we want to test the program heavily with a lot of users and a lot of games for the next 2 weeks. during this testing period we want to get the bugs out and add features that our users want to see.

to get started helping us test the program, click the following link to get to the site. once there, click on "sign up". once registered, click on "make picks" and get started. the site is pretty much self explanatory.

click here: http://207.228.127.83/

if you run into any problems on the site, or you find any bugs on the site, or you have any suggestions on how to make the site better, please report your findings back here (IN THE GENERAL FORUM) and i'll take care of it.

once the site has all the bugs removed (if any) we will be moving it to our server and will start having contests like you won't believe. daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, all sports, multiple sports, big prizes, small prizes, money prizes, merchandise prizes........you get the idea

thanks in advance for helping us test this new product!

any questions, please respond to this in the general forum.

thanks!!

-Jack

thanks all!! let's find if there are bugs and kill them.

then, let's get more features.

Barako--great idea. i'll have them add that for sure.

keep suggestions coming.

also, let me know if you don't like something.

On to the suggestions:

As you know MJ, lots of cappers here post their picks with a star rating. I see in the picks section that we have the option to bet 100 or 200 per pick (which is a good idea in my opinion). Could you make an option where a player can assign a star rating? I suppose you should have some kind of maximum so no one could have a 10,000 star 'lock' and screw up the numbers.

Then, could there be an analysis of the star ratings to see if higher rated plays actually come in at a higher percentage? JT Sneaks does a good job of tracking all his picks based upon rating like this.

Another suggestion:

I just made some picks (hope these don't really count). I noticed that there was no confirmation screen, so if I had accidentally made a pick in error there was no opportunity to fix the mistake. I think there should be a confirmation screen. I don't think, however, that we should be able to edit the picks once they are posted. A player could take the opposite side if he/she changed their minds, just like playing a book. Then they would get charged the juice, just like a book. I didn't see an edit function in the system, just commenting.

 

[yyz]

PROBLEM!

User name must be 5 letters long!

I am yyz

Please don't make me change my name after all this time.

Let me know, in this thread Jack, if that will be changed, or if I need to be an "alter ego" in this part of the world.

 

[MadJack]

thanks for the comments. if i don't respond right away it's because i have some things to do. i need all the comments you guys can put up. i appreciate all feedback. good AND bad.

thanks
