    I'd like to see Betfair in the US.

    But the Demos are dickless, they'll be thrown out next year and the Wacko Wright Wingers & Wkyl wil be back in.

            I think your exactly correct! They may team up with books like Penny in the future for US players so they can receive tax revenue on the ones that win.

                I will for sure consider it. I do see them coming back because of this. I would not be shocked if the US regulates it and taxes it since the debt is so high.

                    the title of this thread needs to be changed to, "I'm bored as hell so let me stir up a pinnacle rumor."

                      It would be good if pinny came back but the bottom line is I almost could care less what books come and go in the market but we need much easier and efficient payout and deposit methods.

                        that debit card method seems the most reasonable and efficient way.

                            Pinny had the quickest withdrawls back in the day, not sure how it is now.

                              Your right Jason. I don't know how it would be with them if they did get back into the market.

                                  I doubt it happens either, I am sure FEDS got the world on the owners of Pinny so they cannot come back, they were not smart like other book owners that hid their identity, etc.

                                    You may be right but they may be in with the feds eventually if they decide to make this all legal. The government knows that this is a good way to make some tax revenue.

                                      What he said.

                                      Pinnacle makes enough that managers and ownership aren't going to easily open themselves up to another violation of US law.

                                      Now if Obama gets another term, and there is no offshore sportsbook/processor prosecutions in the first term, then I could see it happen. But a long ways off.

                                        This is what I care about. Not to mention it's easier to beat the other books than pinnacle IMO.

                                            They won't come back prolly, as long as this stupid law isn't being changed...
                                            and the main reason is that many of their big bettors still use them, as there are ways to do so ofc.

                                                  I disagree on you can't beat pinny, they sometimes have some really soft lines on live games.

                                                    Dude I would deposit with Pinny even if they ask for a 1% juice upfront. I want pinny back in the states. Best book ever.

                                                      Dear Sir,


                                                      Pinnacle Sports made the voluntary decision to exit the U.S. market as of 11th January 2007.

                                                      This is a decision we do not expect to change.


                                                      Kind regards,

                                                      Customer Service Department
                                                      Pinnacle Sports

                                                        whoever made this thread open this because pinny's banner was up..... if you go to other forums, they do not have any thread regarding this matter except here @ sbr... meaning pinny will not come back to US

                                                          Funny how everyone seems so intent on loving Pinny to death. Plenty of other low juice books around these days, and none as sharp as Pinny. Pinnacle is important to bigger players/arbers, which means that most of the undying love for Pinny on forums is just people parroting people.

                                                          I would guess that Pinny's departure from the US made it easier for other books to offer low juice.

                                                              who needs Pinny when Bookmaker , Phoenix , 5dimes , Greek are around.

                                                              They dont offer any nice bonuses , they are hard to beat .. the only thing they do offer is a fast payout but plenty of other books do that now.

                                                                Many people don't care though. They just want their money to be safe and to be able to withdrawal in 30 seconds. Pinny provides that.

                                                                Unless the laws are changed so that processing money to the USA can be done easily they can't come back.

                                                                People don't realize it, but Neteller leaving the USA had nothing to do with UIGEA and pinnacle is/was way too big to operate in the USA without a processor like neteller to handle their transactions.

                                                                  pinny deals 5-8 cent lines on most soccer leagues in the world with the higest limits.
