I know pinnacle no vig lines are best for comparing and calculating my edge. But why???

They charge the lowest juice and offer the highest limits. You can't do that unless you are razor sharp. Some say they are actually a betting syndicate and get down on the side they want at + pricing. I have no idea if that is true but it wouldn't surprise me.

And if that is what they do, it makes them extra sharp.

assuming they don't get down on side they want.

pinnacle odds are 50/50 odds? 50% public on underdog other 50% on favorite? Is this what you mean by razor sharp? so public is right in other words if pinnacle odds = true odds.

Is the most betting volume booked at Pinny? That's pertinent too.

Sharp = professional bettor who usually makes a living betting sports (typically they are conversant in math).

Square = recreational bettor (public); one who bets for entertainment purposes.

"Razor sharp" is an expression that means they are the sharpest of the sharp sports investors. They are brilliant at pricing risk within the sports betting market place; they swim with the sharks and have the longest teeth, so to speak.

No, Pinny odds are not 50/50 odds in the sense that 50% of bets are on each side; that is a myth. Typically, a 50/50 betting split is seldom achieved at any sportsbook.

As for pinny odds being true odds, you'll need a much sharper guy than me to chime in on that.

I believe it's true.

Generally speaking, very high limits, low juice, market prominence, and attitude towards professionals will jointly determine how well a given sports book's lines are indicative of the market as a whole. - Ganchrow
