Pinny Line and Fair Lines

[Professor1215]

This thread is probably going to make me look effing stupid, but oh well...still needing clarity on a few things.

1) What is the Pinny line and where did it originate from?

I have learned the importance of beating this line, etc, but where do you go to find it?

2) Is there anywhere you can find out what "fair lines" are.

For example, if a book lists a favorite at -125, what would the appropriate "+" number be?

It annoys people when you are asking a question that the tank responded to earlier in the year, much less the same day. You even participated in the thread:

http://forum.sbrforum.com/handicapper-think-tank/568861-calculating-no-vig-line.html

Starting this thread is shameful in the Think Tank, and you should try to post in other subforums for awhile before you figure a couple things out.

To answer your question, the Pinny line is the line from www.pinnaclesports.com

Obviously my question was misinterpreted. So by your rude response, I get that the only way to find "fair" lines is to calculate the no-vig line. Thanks for the "clarity". I would try to re-word what I am looking for, but I don't want to piss anyone else off.

What subforum should I have posted this in? Help me understand. Sorry to anyone else I may have offended.

Also, I figured as much about the Pinny line, but I just wanted to be 100% sure.

I am on this site to educate myself, not to look down on anyone or prove that I am some kind of genius.

He's saying that YOU must do some legwork. Think of it like a college course. You must read your text and do your homework BEFORE you can ask questions. Then rinse and repeat. He is saying that you are just asking questions and not looking around first. If you sort ALL think tank posts by responses that's a good place to start.

Thank you. For the good of the site I will refrain from all of these "stupid" threads.

If I don't learn here, where do I learn?

No one pays attention to the "rookie" forum...

Professor the pinny line comes from their book. People like to think of it as the closet "true" line for sports because of their sheer volume. You can also check out their limits to get an idea of their risk management and further realize how serious they are about some of the lines they post.

Keep asking questions!

1. pinnaclesports.com, a respected sportsbook known for being tough to beat despite low commission

2. It's the midpoint of the two lines pinny offers on a given game. If pinnie offers +110/-120 the fair line is +115/-115. It is the line pinn would choose if it decided not to charge commission.

Thank you for not judging me or looking down on me.

I wish you the best of luck with your wagers.

No-vig line is only the midpoint if no-vig line is +100. Otherwise, there is computation involved.
