    Where were you the day Pinnacle went down?
    I remember it like it was yesterday. For US customers it was a like losing a close friend.

    Neteller was also a tough loss! It was so easy getting withdrawals in hours.

        JJ - saying Pinny is unmissed is more than a bit ignorant and flippant.

        If you ever start actually betting offshore and/or leave the country, then please regale us with more tales about how Europe and the rest of the world wager and how unregulated Central or South American books are incredible.

        Until then, perhaps give us a weekly rundown what's on sale at Walmart and Costco or such

          Nitrogen (bitcoin book) isn't too bad if you're not a whale.

            Spot on!

            You're definitely better off playing at high juice books.
            1.91 beats 1.95+ every time!

              Pinnacle juice is getting wider and wider because they're lacking the liquidty

              It's definately taken more of euro type book up now


              It's betfair, matchbook and then everyone else's and also ran as far as books around globe for non Americans

                I remember it like yesterday....

                It's that feeling you get when the girl you're with wouldn't put out... and she went buh bye on you.

                Like a whore that finally closed her legs...

                Something you'll never forget.

                  Five dimes, bookmaker just as good as pinnacle

                  Both now have surpassed pinnacle and volume bet on American sports

                    JJ - you have a chicken and the egg situation here. You claim never was missed because NOW liquidity/etc has moved elsewhere.

                      Anything that you lose eventually does not become missed in any facet of life

                        I see 5Dimes offering -105, same as Pinnacle but Bookmaker only -110 on today's NBA.
                        Thinking Pinnacle will take larger wagers.

                                    An originator can be beat Pinnacle. Their buyback is pretty good but I think it only has break even value long term.

                                              I think this is just about when Pinnacle dropped the US, not that Pinny is down now.

                                              The OP is reminiscing.

                                                Do something wrong by them or don't accept their ruling and you're history!

                                                    I do. But I refuse to put any more funds into as long as they maintain that horrific 5x wager rule.

                                                      Pinnacle never went down for credit players in the US.

                                                          It is pretty ridiculous, I agree.

                                                                There is no credable off shore wagering facility. The bottom line is that the Feds can shut their US operations down whenever they want. Most offshore books are uner funded, and the ones that are not are also not regulated in any way. It is a lose-lose for guys who use them.
