    Default I Downgraded Pinnacle To An A-

    1. Never changed Time Zone issues

    2. Advertising -104 and I do not see it on betting pages

    3. Site shakey lately

    Thanks,

    I love the Golden ratings and I know Fish does. Lay em out JJ.

    I hate to say it JJ, but that looks like a rookie-ish knee-jerk reaction on your part. You need to keep 'er on a more even keel.

    The 8 cent lines have been there every time I've looked.

    If you bet on sports for awhile you find that all sites have shakey moments and there's no sense over-reacting. WWTS was a worse mess all weekend and has been having on-and-off issues for weeks.

    The time zone stuff is true I suppose but it's such a trivial thing compared to the upside of Pinnacle (making me money).



    I'll stick with my rating of BEST IN THE BUSINESS.

    j,

    I am a LITTLE pissed about this move my friend!

    Not real "SMART" from where I sit period.

    Let's not start acting like that "OTHER FORUM" already buddy we are just getting started.

    Now I know that a lot of the guy's we tried to GET AWAY from over at that "Mal-Practice office" are over here NOW but lets really think TWICE about "throwing stones" at this guy please.

    Someone mentioned that + / - system being scrapped, I say we DROP this symbols all together what does the + or - MATTER anyway ? This is not gramer school.

    If you know of a better out please by all means let us know will you ?

    Square I agree at times the +/- is a little comical. It was fashioned after the Standard and Poors credit rating system which uses A+, A, A-, ect. I actually like the ratings expressed in this way but I know its subjective.

    It was funny to see Bill upgrade some book the other day from F- to F+. One suggestion that will probably happen is to eliminate all the +/- for F.

    Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions, they are very much appreciated.

    Square I think the + and -'s are significant

    Pinny is a great book but did not want to drop them to a B so I made them an A- for not converting to EST and saying they have -104 juice.

    Square I like books to respond to poster requests and they have ignored it.

    Pinnacle is an A- right now

    I say keep 'em.

    Think about it - using ABCDF will only give you 5 options, like a 1-5 rating. Pinnacle and, say, Skybook would both get 'A' status and, as good as both books are, we both know there is quite a gap between them.

    With the +/- system you've got 15 different available ratings which is just right - it allows players to see which is a better 'B' book, for instance.

    Yeah, I had to chuckle. Some poor sod at Gateway probably thought he did a cracking job to get that kind of upgrade.

    F+, F or F- it's irrelevant. Make them all the same, simply an 'F' - for Fukcing stay away.

    I would vote for just one F. I would like to see every sportsbook who owes money to someone have an F by their name.

    Webber, can you even use Pinnacle from the USA?

    Also, I think you should make a demo re-enactment video showing how the meeting between Fishler and Baus likely went down.
