Over the past 2-3 years things have been changing on this website. It used to be a "not so flashy" website with an underground type of feel, where you actually felt like you were getting an edge on the books. Now, it feels and looks alot different. Who runs this website?
To everyones surprise this week they removed the number of bets. This was a vital tool for many handicappers to get a feel for the board. The users of this site need to stand together with a strong voice and demand that TheSpread.com put the number of bets back on the public bet pie charts. Please vote YES to demand them back and feel free to comment on this robbery. Thank you for your cooperation.

Why do you insist on saying we removed anything?

As I told you before that information comes from a outside source and was removed by them and not us!

The number of bets have been permanently removed by the provider because the information was being scraped (stolen) without permission and redistributed. We are not the source for this information and have no input on their decision to remove it. This information is still available by subscribing to the paid version of that service. If you are so "serious" about your handicapping you should have no problem paying the monthly fee to get the data that was removed and a whole lot more you would find useful.

Making multiple posts about this situation isn't going to do anything to bring the number of bets back so please stop doing that. As I mentioned and Blade mentioned that is not our data and we cannot make it be restored. If you have any additional questions please feel free to post it in this thread only or you can also contact our customer service to continue the discussion privately.
