Without going into detail, Pinnacle has ways of making money from winning bettors who may be beating them to offset those losses.

In short, the owners of Pinny are doing just fine under their current set-up.

When they are worried at all abt a particular market/game they just limit the max bet allowed by anyone--for example low limits on some MMA matches. I do not bet five figures there so I can not say if they would limit on alt lines or something like that. This is where Cris tends to get nervous, but never saw it with Pinny.

[bookie]

They slashed limits on CFL and Arena this year...and when they open WNBA early it can be for $250 limits. So they certainly do manage risk. I have always heard that they bet out, but always found it a little weird. Who books Pinnacle?

[Stefan]

I don't think that Pinnacle has different limits on alternative lines. They close alternative lines when there are to big moves in the market. That's what they do in soccer.

[Emily_Haines]

Hard to kick Pinny's ass when limits start out at 250 and move up incrementally 500, 1000, 2000 etc.

[Bizzen123]

I hope pinnacle never copy all of the euro-books regarding betting limits. Then Im out of business.

It is impressive but nothing to be surprised. It is not like there exists a player who can hit >60% on NFL Sunday lines all the time. Plus they move line to attract enough counter actions.

[Jontheman]

Well at that volume of action you can book one side at -105, move your line and book the other side at +105 and still be making money. How? Just think of the volume of money that has to be sitting in Pinny bank accounts all season ready to pound those lines, and how much interest it must make...

I have often wondered this. They must however, have a nice little pool of massive whales.

[byronbb]

Yeah I guess that is what I am curious about. It's funny that we have one book (Pinnacle) that will let you bet over and over again at the max. Sure the max might start low but on a Sunday if a big player wants to go wild on an NFL game they can do it $50,000 at a time and allegedly Pinnacle will never limit them.

You can rebet at 5Dimes but 5Dimes is known to quickly limit winning players.

You cannot rebet at Bookmaker and Bookmaker's limits are half of Pinnacle's (even before rebet is considered).

The style 5Dimes or Bookmaker uses is what I would expect from a book despite thinking they should not limit players. However Pinnacle is such an entirely different bird that I just find it all pretty amazing. They'll take bets at high limits and never give you a limit. Amazing. It is a true oddity in sports gambling.

yeah but 50k isnt a lot of money for them. At -104 100k of balanced action brings in $1900, probably less than that is actually realized too. 50k for whales is also nothing, and if you are a millionare/billionaire degen sports bettor where do you play? Pinnacle.

They lay off on other books. At least that is what Konik implies in the smart money when he's bearding for walters.

[Justin7]

Yes, they limit winning players, but not heavily

I've never seen them limit individual players. Chop limits on the whole sport because of a player, yes... but not that one player.

[Sawyer]

Guys betting $50k per bet are not playing on cash.

what about betting syndicates? they're betting 100-150k per game.
