So guys, what was Pinnacle like?

As a Bet Jam user for 3-4 years now and as a former Pinnacle user, I have to say they are/were my favorite books to use. VERY fast payouts & solid lines (Pinnacle especially for baseball). Bet Jam is my #1 book now. I have used Intertops for a while with very good results. Started using Bet Phoenix about 5 months ago and have to say their bonus' and customer service are top notch. I do miss Pinnacle this time of the year though.

I began shopping for an offshore after Bowman's sold my account to BoDog.

By that time Pinnacle had already stopped accepting US Players--- I keep reading posts about how solid Pinnacle was/is...so I have to ask.

How much better could Pinny have been than BetJam? I am with BetJam and The Greek now and I am perfectly content.

One of the reasons I want Barney Frank et al to crush UIGEA is because it will bring solid books back into play for us, and if Pinny was really the best offshore, then it would be welcome news.

Unrelated----are there any old school ex-Bowman players such as myself hanging around here?

Been with every book imaginable over the years.........played at Bowmans for years. In fact, my friend from Vegas was one of the top guys there.

Top all-time books.........

PINNACLE
MATCHBOOK
BET JAMAICA/OLYMPIC

I loved having Pinnacle as an out. It even took me longer than most to get signed up there but once I did, it was where I placed a lot of my action no matter what the sport. Always had the best lines on any sport and getting to sell points with the drop down menus was very useful. Even the online casino was run well and the rebate paid back on action there really added up.

The service was also among the best you will find. Even at the end when it was announced there would be no more US action and they were absolutely hammered with payout requests, I received a very sizeable amount quickly through Neteller by them. Wish we could all use Pinnacle again sometime - I've had my fingers crossed for years now.

I love Pinnacle. About a million times as much as BetJam. Pinnacle is a must have along with Matchbook. BetJam I don't even bother to fund.

I guess I would qualify as an old school Bowmans user. Had my first phone accounts there in the early 90's.

Lots of people from the US still use Pinnacle, if you know how to do it, it can be done.
