    Thoughts on Pinnacle?

    New to this forum and looking to join a good book for some action.....Which books are considered the best in your mind? Im hearing great things on pinnacle...is that true? Do they offer easy fast payouts?

    Also, is neteller an option only for US customers?

    thanks

    instead of asking this question, do your homework first and search all the posts in this forum first.

    otherwise, moderator move this to the newbie section.

    Simply the best sports bookmaker in the world, particularly for US sports.

    But the bad news, if your American, is that you can't join them.

    Pinnacle defo best book I play at. Excellent odds & instant payout. 1 free payout per month. I've never heard of anyone being limited at pinnacle.

    Pinny is the best book of the world, fast payouts by neteller or skrill.

    Yeah, only ultra low juice, very high limits, A+ history, and payment within minutes. They suck, let's be honest.

    If you mean Pinnacle doesn't offer much to people who consistently lose, that's correct. For people with the discipline to win, there's no better out on the planet. Massive limits, best odds, and you will never run into a payout issue, ever. For people who wager more than an average gambler, the odds you get more than make up for any rebate, FP bonus, cash bonus, etc. To tell you the honest truth, I wouldn't even care if real land based sports wagering came to Canada, because your money is just as safe in Pinnacle as a bank account, and I see no reason to pay -110 to -120 on standard wagers when I can get -103 to -105 at Pinnacle.

    Is there "ANY" way an American can get with Pinny?

    If there is something they are not offering it is because it would not be worth it for them because of the volumes those markets would attract.

    By the way are you by chance referring to the 100 props per game markets recreational books have?

    Pinnacle is great if you want to lose money. They will eat you alive. They set/change odds lightning-quick. Their oddsmakers are smart. You better stick with soft/square books. You can find much better, more value lines there.

    Why pick Dallas +105 at Pinnacle while you can pick it at +130 in another book?

    Because a book offering that much of a difference is either a) going to boot you quickly, or b) go bust.

    Not all books. You'll be safe as long as you stay away from scam books. Some books limit you, that's right but you get a great advantage 'til you get limited. Just shop around and focus on soft books.

    But when it comes to security of funds and realiability, Pinnacle is great of course. They don't limit winning players..but why? Because they're confident with themselves. They know that you don't have a chance to beat them, lol. Guys, not easy to beat Pinnacle. PM me if you're interested in numbers.

    Of course one should shop around if able to. Some of us however have very few options left and Pinnacle features very highly amongst them.
    How often can you find differences anywhere near as large as the one you quoted (+105 v +130) at a book you can trust and will take a decent wager? Once in a blue moon I'd suggest and that would be because they made an error and would flag your account quickly.
    As to having no chance to beat Pinnacle - my numbers refute that notion.

    Simply the difference between the winners, and the losers.

    If you can consistently beat the closing line at Pinny, you're guaranteed to win money long term.

    Pinnacle leans not as sharp anymore, try betting the weak number at another book and you will get buried over time.

    With over 150,000 posts on one of higher biggest wagering forums on the Internet, I would expect that you at least have somewhat of a clue. You just proved me wrong.

    Yeah. Just beat the closer (specially in US sports, it doesn't make much sense in small volume leagues/sports except china and canada leagues) and you're a winner.

    JJ. Pinnacle lean is sharp as a razor blade. Even Pinny Lean can have losing streaks though. It's not very accurate recently except NBA Totals. But Pinny was pretty sharp in 2013. How much? I had a winning season in 2013 but my Pinny balance ytd was -284.477€
    go figure, lol. (it's slightly more then my yearly profit)
