Default Pinnacle Wager Order Form

Anybody use this feature?
Are you able to get your orders filled significantly cheaper than the current posted lines?

The potential problem, as I understand it, is that you put in an order for a line which is better than what is currently posted. If the line ever matches your order, your bet is automatically taken and you don't have to be sitting there watching non-stop.

But a lot of the times when it hits your line, it's because the line is on its way to moving to an even better line. Once your order is taken then that's what you've got.

On the other hand, sometimes the line will only just dance over your number - and you get your bet - and then it moves to a worse line again - so you're laughing.

I'm not bitching - it's a a good feature. I'm just saying.

They only have it for baseball, right? Last year I believe they had it for NBA as well. I'm surprised they don't have it for football. What's up with that?

The time it takes to fill an order is random. It's not a case of someone at Pinnacle sitting there mulling over if they want your action. It's strictly a function of line movement.

Could take 2 seconds to fill an order. Could be never.
