    Pinnacle NBA playoff limits lower than WNBA

    In the past 10 years I've never seen Pinnacle open a NBA playoff handicap for less than $5k and total for less than $2k. The Clippers Portland game 6 handicap just opened for $1000/$500. Lower than their regular season limits. Lower than their WNBA playoff limits. Is this the behaviour you would expect of a market leader?

    BetCRIS opens a solid $5k/$3k/$3k on all playoff games to date.

    Yea JJ, I think they rather open them, get some intel from bettors, and then raise them rather than just sit on it and watch what others do. Books dont know WTF is going on in LA/Portland.

    many books had that game off the board on the openers that normally have lines

    No need to have high limits with stars knocked out

    Do you prefer Pinnacle wait till all injury infos are known and simply do not post a line?

    Opening this Spurs@Okc Game 3 for 3/1 is a joke and a farce. They are opening 2nd round playoff games for the same limits as they do NBA regular season and WNBA playoff games.

    They could get the guys at the helm in Curcacao to trade at these limits. They opened a NBA playoff total for $500. I mean really, are you kidding me? Monty and Henry and rolling in their graves.

    $5k/$2k is an absolute minimum here. $10k/$3k shows you're an upper tier book willing to take proper bets. $1k/$0.5k you should probably go look for a job at WillHill or Bet365 because you're not cut out for the job of main trader at the #1 NBA book on the planet.

    I wonder why openers lower?

    Maybe getting pounded?
