    Default Grading wagers at Pinnacle - slower recently?

    They have been for me the past 3-4 days. My Tennessee ML bet still hasn't been graded and it's been done for quite some team and it took longer than usual for them to grade my total bet on the Timberwolves game as well. Not a large issue, but was wondering if anybody else was experiencing the same thing.

    Yes, it took nearly an hour for my Arsenal/Porto bets to be graded today. That's the only time I've noticed it though.

    Surprisingly, my 4 soccer wagers (none of which were on that match) today were alll graded almost immediately. It's been happening with a random hoops game or two every night.

    Matchbook is peculiar in that regard for sure. Like a few other books, once they head home for the night you know any remaining wagers won’t be graded until the next day. But apparently they sometimes call it a night in the middle of grading a game. The other night I had a side and total wager on the same game—the Monday Night Football game if I remember correctly—and they graded one wager a minute or two after the game ended, and the other sat in my account ungraded until the next morning.

    Seems like the NCAAB "overnight" lines are slower this year too. I remember them being hung a lot earlier than this. At 530EST none of them had lines up for tomorrow's games, not Pinnacle, CRIS or the Greek. For some reason they had totals listed but not the sides. Maybe I am getting old but seemed like I would have them up by 230/3PM for the following day's games in the past.

    Anyway back on topic, rant over.

    Are pending wagers graded electronically does a human being have to go over all the wagers and determine which ones are winners?

    My guess is that Matchbook needs to grade winners very carefully because you're betting against someone else rather than against the house, so they are cautious with grading wagers due to that problem.

    Yeah, this is pretty frustrating. Cris has been putting them up about an hour and a half or so before anyone else. Not sure what Pinnacle's problem is this year.
