    Can I beat Pinnacle ?
    Is this place beatable? Are their numbers still the best in the business ?

    You don't beat a book, eventually you are actually playing against other players.

      is it possible to get a jump on their numbers before they move them?

      I mean , now that their numbers probably move a bit slower than they used to.

      What books have the sharpest numbers and the first moves?

        Yeah it is possible, especially for inclimate weather games. Some of my best plays have come from watching the local weather station for the game on Wednesday.

          Pinnacle is still the sharpest book out there. That being said, they're not perfect, and therefore beatable.

            I would argue that in almost every case, with every book, you are playing against both other players and the book.

              I like you Rage, your my kind of guy.

              Having said that, I'd bet my life that your statement will attract the wrath of Durito.

                Other than "weather". Are there any other means to get a jump on Pinnys numbers ?

                  Why was Pinny pretty much the only book hanging -9 on the Jets?????????

                  I wanted to tease the Jets, but 8.5 would have been so much better.

                    They do it specifically to prevent teasing.

                      seems like alot of numbers are all over the board at various books today...

                      jets, balty, den, minn, seatle,


                      maybe since there was no college football yesterday, people that soley bet football, got cash going all over the place.... yesterday And today

                        Houston+Jets Teaser would have been money this week.

                              Pinnacle has consistently destroyed me, yet I win at other books... Coincidence? I doubt it...

                              Pinny is just sharp, stay away from them.

                                It works the other way as well. Last week they were hanging -7 on NYG when most books had -6.5.

                                  -7 and -6.5 doesn't matter for the teaser.

                                  -9 and -7 makes a big difference. with -9 you need to buy extra half point to get -2.5 in a tease

                                    Or me. Because it is patently wrong.

                                      Right, I was going to include you as well.
                                      Figured Durito would be here first.

                                      Interested to hear the reasons for your statement, one line responses with no explanation don't cut it.

                                      This is the main reason I get annoyed.

                                      Not interested in a pissing match, an explanation would be appreciated by all.
