check out the new page. i donno, i am used to the old style, i don't see much improvement

imo, it seems less professional. the website looks more kid friendly with colored buttons.

[ShamsWoof10]

Am I smokin' too much or did Pinny. slightly alter the format of their site...?

I don't like it! The old way was perfect!

[vanman]

The old site was better but the drop down menus for football(soccer as americans call it)is a big improvement,limits could be higher.

[jjgold]

Site is hurting as is the book

Volume down about 60% from the ban

It shows in the new layout, I would think monet is tight there now as cash not coming in like it use to.

[ShamsWoof10]

Well glad to know I wasn't seeing things... I looked at it for an hour and kept trying to refresh it thinking there was a problem in the server...

I don't like it either it does look B rated...

Agree with the post below me as well...

[rjt721]

The layout is insignificant. Look at Greek - I can't think of a more outdated and uglier interface, yet it's one of the few great books.

[pico]

i used to love the drop down menu. i think pinnacle has a patent on that (i read that somewhere, forgot where now). now they have javascript drop down menu from the top. i do a lot of scrolling down when i bet now, which i don't enjoy that much.

call me old fashioned, but i like the old layout. the new layout makes it look more like bogdog type of books. the old style is very professional, less flashy...give you an impression of solid book. now it seems like they're desperate for attention or something.

what the hell were those web designers thinking??? they forgot the fundamental rule in engineering "Keep It Simple Stupid".

[White_Tiger]

I Miss Pinny will go right back to them if they re-open to US.

I prefer the old school feel.

I agree, after a 21 hour shift I came home and felt lost betting some euro hockey.

As long as the book pays then I don't care what the format of the site looks like.

i don't understand pinnacle. you have a great website, why you want to **** with it?

[Ganchrow]

For all those using GreaseMonkey for FireFox, here's a Pinnacle autologin script that works with the new setup:

// ==UserScript==
// @name           Pinnacle Login
// @namespace      Pinnacle
// @include        http://www.pinnaclesports.com/default.aspx
// ==/UserScript==
var txtCustID = document.getElementById('ctl00_MCPH_LF_UserName');
var txtPassword = document.getElementById('ctl00_MCPH_LF_Password');
txtCustID.value = 'USER_ID';	// ***insert userid***
txtPassword.value = 'PASSWORD';	// ***insert password***
window.addEventListener(
    "load",
    function() **
	var btnSubmit = document.getElementById('ctl00_MCPH_LF_LB');
	btnSubmit.click();
    **,
    true
);

Just enter your user id and password in the appropriate locations and you'll be good to go.

A quick overview of the new look Pinnacle Sports Book and Casino

[pico]

well, even though i don't like the layout, but the wagering system is still the same. as long as i am making money, i don't really care what the layout is.

[aca]

I like this layout change!

Nice move piny!

[jjgold]

I would predict Pinny will be back to usa market, they will have to or close down.

[cloudagh]

I'd like to see a "Bet the Board" kind of screen at Pinny, where you could get multiple leagues on one screen. Otherwise, the new layout is mostly neutral to me.

all the wager style are the same, they just changed the layout. the thing i hate the most is that the drop down menu only works when you click on the tiny + sign next to the sports. i guess it is good for me because when i am high or drunk, i'll have a really hard time making a wager

Agree,

[Tchocky]

It's going to take some time to get used to it but I think it's better overall. Tennis bettors can now get live scores on all matches in progress.

[pico]

pinnacle is not that great in soccer. they tend to take games offline too early. now i have to use other books to get my bet in.

Someone just PM'd regarding this script for FF3.

The only real difference is that you need to add the following two includes:

// @include        http://www.pinnaclesports.com/*
// @include        https://www.pinnaclesports.com/*

In other words,

 // @include        http://www.pinnaclesports.com/default.aspx

by itself will no longer work (in general) and may in fact be removed (although this isn't strictly necessary).

To do this, just right click the GreaseMonkey icon, select "Manage User Scripts", highlight the Pinnacle autologin script, and then make sure the include above is properly added. If you like, you can also remove the

 //http://www.pinnaclesports.com/default.aspx

from the list oif includes when selecting "Manage User Scripts" (or not, it won't actually make a difference.

You might also want to edit the script in the same manner and just add the @include line manually (although it's not strictly necessary if you already have it installed) in order that were someone to newly install the script the coirrect include would be automatically added.

Anyway, here's how the script should look in totality:

// ==UserScript==
// @name           Pinnacle Auto-Login
// @description    Logs into Pinnacle
// @namespace      http://forum.sbrforum.com
// @include        http://www.pinnaclesports.com/*
// @include        https://www.pinnaclesports.com/*
// @author         ganchrow@sbrforum.com
// @version        0.11
// ==/UserScript==

/********************************************************************
//Apparent legacy code
//var txtCustID = document.getElementById('ctl00_MCPH_LF_UserName');
//var txtPassword = document.getElementById('ctl00_MCPH_LF_Password');
********************************************************************/

var txtCustID = document.getElementById('UserName');
var txtPassword = document.getElementById('Password');
txtCustID.value = 'USER_ID';	// ***insert userid***
txtPassword.value = 'PASSWORD';	// ***insert password***
window.addEventListener(
    "load",
    function() **
	var btnSubmit = document.getElementById('ctl00_MCPH_LF_LB');
	btnSubmit.click();
    **,
    true
);

the stupid bastards show quietly start accepting US customers, this "ban" didn't stop many or any other top notch books..

[durito]

The people they need from the US have found ways to play there or moved. They won't be going back short a legal change.

    function() **
    var btnSubmit = document.getElementById('ctl00_MCPH_LF_LB');
    btnSubmit.click();
    **,
    true
);

Strange, this still wasn't working. I looked at Pinny's source code, and found I needed to change these two lines:

var txtCustID = document.getElementById('ctl00_MCPH_LF_UNL');
var txtPassword = document.getElementById('ctl00_MCPH_LF_PL');

I'm on a mac, so maybe that's causing the differences? I wouldn't think that our sites would have different source code though?

Now the script is at least working, but Pinny keeps telling me log-in failed. WTF?!

Edit: LOL. If I add https:// to the included sites, it works. It errors out on the homepage, takes me to the log-in failed screen, and then logs in properly.

[Ganchrow]

It looks like they may have just recently (within the last 24 hours) made a change to their login code. Try changing the lines as follows:

var txtCustID = document.getElementById('UserName');
var txtPassword = document.getElementById('Password');

And of course adding the

// @include        https://www.pinnaclesports.com/*

as well (as you've apparently already done).

I assume this was done to better facilitate logins through either of the HTTP and HTTPS protocols.

(Above script has been further modified to reflect these changes.)
