It seems if you like lower juice really no other alternatives, I cant find a book that can compete with Matchbook once Pinny left, yes you cannot bet high amounts like Pinnacle but for the average player I would say its fine.

Is Matchbook The Closest Thing To Pinnacle?

5 Dimes for hoops now. And like Pinny, they have -105 STYLE as opposed to strictly -105, so you could get match-ups at -108/-102, -111/+101, etc.
And if you do not mind 500 limits, the nickel MLB overnight lines (-103/-102) is even better than Pinny's 8-cent line.

mathbook is close to pinny, but it sometimes hard to get your offers picked up at matchbook (like on Friday nights before college hoops games)...

I did not realize 5 Dimes has lower juice, I still think Matchbook is a safer book though.

I don't know if Matchbook is the closest thing to Pinny. But I have to make a surprising admission:
I haven't missed Pinnacle at all.
Still stunned that they walked away though. Crazy.Last edited by Dark Horse; 03-03-07 at 11:03 AM.

Pinnacle was Pinnacle...it offered a lot but it was a very sharp book. As good as Pinnacle was, you could almost find a better line at a a different book if you shopped around. Lines were very very sharp at Pinnacle....

I Just got an email from Matchbook's customer service that we can use ** and ** to deposit to Matchbook. I was not aware of this and I dont know if other people were since it is not posted in their cashiers section. Well this is great news to me, I send them an email asking if they cover the transfer fee's. I will post the response if anyone is interested.

Perhaps the reason it's not on their cashier page is that they don't want it publicly known

Many claim that they put more bets in with Matchbook than Pinnacle

I just confirmed it. It is very similar to how it worked in Pinnacle the last couple of months. If anyone else is interested, Livechat customer service at matchbook and they can help you. They cover a 3.2% transaction fee charged to them with commision credits but they dont cover the 6$ charge that the store will charge you. Limits: 999 W.U. and 2500 **.
