Hello!
I wanted to hear you guy's opinion on Running Ball, the service provided by rball.com. Does any of you use it? How are they? Would you recommend it?
They seem to be providing a quite interesting service. what about billing, how much do they usually charge per game?

Cheers.

Running ball send scouts into footy grounds to report back on what is happening. They report back via a PDA. There are at least a couple of companies that do this. I doubt the speed is sufficient to justify the cost TBH. They charge a lot of money, but don't pay scouts that much. I met with them 3/4 years ago, but it was too expensive and I couldn't reliably discount the value and speed of service. Given the expense you could probably make the trip to the ground yourself and get a faster response.

The service is mainly aimed at people like Betfair to manage markets.
