    Bookmaker motto is a joke?

    Why is the bookmaker motto 'where the line originates' ?

    seems to me that all they do is let pinnacle post opening lines, wait a few hours until the market moves the opening lines and when they stabilize they just snatch them up and post them

    in fact thats what most books seem to do

    so why are they bragging about, they just wait for someone else to post lines and then copy them

    at least that's how it seems to me

    It's almost always either Bookmaker or the Greek that puts up lines first, for all the American sports

    in the interview with pinnacle, it was discussed that pinnacle generate their own lines and let sharp players move the lines until they are efficient, which is why the limits at pinnacle are lower right after the lines are posted, and increase later, after sharp action

    The $100 limits Pinny opens with are a joke. When you do that you don't even need odds-makers with a clue. Even though bookmaker sucks they at least will take a real bet on an opening number.
