    Pinnaclesports Limits totally different - why?

    By accident, i have recognized, that the "Bet Maximum" for me is much lower than for some others (samae odds ad sports have been compared).
    up to 230 euro difference

    Anybody is maybe having an Explanation?

    They vary limits dependent on location and on customer profiling.

    It has to do with how u signed up. Pinnacle has a lot of a affiliate deals. When you sign up through and affiliate they take into consideration the percentage the affiliate is going to be getting to make sure they get the max bet they are looking for.

    Everyone starts with a base limit and if your betting is not 'sharp' your limits increase. Otherwise you stay down there.

    Apparently those on the lowest limits have their betting used to shape markets a lot more than the rest of us.

    I don't think Pinnacle adjusts your limits on sharpness -- just affiliate percentages.

    Depends on the time of day though -I liked to bet as soon as the lines came out if I liked 'em. I'd get bigger bets taken 10mins before tip-off. They don't want to get fkd over by a big hitter the moment they put the lines out because their business model/ dynamic lines can't handle it.

    I'm not surprised that the affiliate deal would affect it but why do people's limits change over time if it isn't based on play?

    All limits change throughout the day. Openers/overnights have the lowest limits for all sports. You reach maximum limits a few hours before a match begins (or earlier on the game day for major markets).

    I know that but am talking about user limits changing in comparison to other players. Two players may have had the same or fairly similar limits for ages then suddenly one is allowed more.

    That's the typical business model. Smaller bets as the market opens, bigger action as the lines shake out a bit before game time.

    Correct.

    I don't know how he defines "suddenly" but have seen examples of this as well.

    It was a vague post by the user

    He needs to be more specific
