Even prior to launching what is being billed as the "greatest line service since Don Best", creator Gadoon “Spanky” Kryollos warned it wouldn't be a smooth process initially.
That didn't stop folks from prematurely announcing SpankOdds demise pretty much on Day 1 following much anticipated glitches. It's not as if anyone can demand their money back. The service, after all, is free.
Longtime readers of the Gambling911.com website might remember fondly the "Don Best Humping Ladybugs", a tribute to the regular bugs that wreaked havoc on that line service nearly ten years after it first launched back in the early 2000's.
Kryollos wasn't just warning there might be glitches, he made it clear there would be some. Hence the reason the rollout will be staged.
"If you signed up for spankodds in the last 2 weeks you’re in the back of the line. We need to stabilize the thousands of users we are currently servicing so you’ll need to wait for an invite."

We are constantly fixing stuff. The service will be choppy for a while
Patience please https://t.co/70QyhdHIFN
Heading into the first official weekend of college football, SpankOdds appeared to be resolving the initial rollout issues. Any naysayers were quickly vanishing along with the bugs.
Frankie Taddeo, Sr Betting Insider for SI.com, praised the new service.
"I've worked at Don Best & Sports Options. Also worked in BO of Cantor back in the day at the M. Now over at Sports Illustrated. Got in 2 SpankOdds for first time last night & this screen rivals BOTH of those I worked with. This is a clutch, amazing work by u & the team, Spanky!"

Spanky thanked Frank for the kind words, exuding confidence in the new platform's potential.
"Thanks for the kind words Frankie. I have a great team behind me to thank and unlike most other software providers, I’ve made my living betting sports. This gave me the insight to include just the right amount of bells and whistles I believe are important."
Spanky also advised re-signing up if you did not get your invitation as of yet. Gambling911.com has received ours already.
"If you signed up anytime before September 1st and didn’t get an invite email with login credentials, then please resign up."
There is also a help desk for anyone experiencing issues.
"Shout out to my main man Scott for handling the @spankodds help desk," Kryollos tweeted.
One Twitter follower took notice.
"Whoever is doing all this work is doing great. Should get a raise."
Another wrote:
"Yes 100 Percent very responsive and very fast and professional."
And he warned not to use fake names to sign up as "Juan Tubloya" and "Andy Feltherbush" won't be extended an invite.
