    Default Strange limit of Pinnacle

    I just got a strange message from Pinnacle as I tried to bet on a soccer line of a minor soccer league:

    **********************
    "A maximum wager amount of 260.76 EUR is permitted because this event is circled.

    Please press the continue button, then reduce the risk amount on wager number 1 so it is equal to or below the specified amount.

    If the amount entered is already less than the specified limit, check your pending plays for existing wagers on this game. Make sure the accumulated amounts do not exceed the wager limit."
    **********************

    The last part of the message is new to me: I always thought if I placed a bet with Pinnacle I can place a bet on the same event again without the first bet having any influence on the limit for the second bet...

    Maybe the explanation is that odds had not changed after my first bet because I had only placed a very small amount.

    that has happened to me before on some tour de france bets, russian soccer bets where the limit is around 100 US. For the most part if you max out the bet the line will move so you can bet it again. It becomes a question of how much the line moves as to whether it is worth a bet again.

    Oh I see: you are such small bettor that in general you don't change the odds with your first bet.

    Yes, it should be kind of a test if I can get a higher over all limit without to get lower odds if I only place a small amount of money first and then bet again. But now I know that if the first bet is too small too change the odds I cannot bet again (or at least not so much that I get a higher over all stake for these odds).

    I didn't even know know what he said at first because he's on my ignore list, but don't even bother responding to rickysteve kiwi. He's even said before that he just comes on here to ruffle feathers, so don't even bother to give him the time of day. I'm sure he's just another lonely depressed degenerate, and Psychology 101 tells you that he just spends his time trolling and bashing in order to make others feel as depressed as he is. Folks like him aren't even remotely worth your time....

    Like vanman said kiwi the odds just have to change before you can pop it again. They generally do this for smaller events or matches they are not confidant about (for reasons such as injuries, etc.) to gauge the line. As it becomes closer to gametime the odds typically increase. GL with your play mate...
