    Olympic vs Pinnacle
    Hello

    i´m not a begginer but someone who bets Low (have to strat w very few many on accounts) but who likes many wagering options

    I´m undecided between those 2 bookies.

    What i look for:

    -good odds
    -great number of sport events (especially soccer)
    -reasonable bonus
    -good customer support
    - easy to use and nice website (ther i really prefer pinnacle)

    right now i´m more inclined to olympic..

    plz help me decide....

    first off... let be welcome you to the sbrforums

    both books your seeking advice on, are both very fine books. i personaly like pinny better than Oly. just for the fact of the reduced vig.

    another book you might want to look into is 5dimes. i don't know if you did any research on this book. but, if you like a lot of different wagering options. there definately worth a looksy.

        odds: Pinny
        number of events: great at both
        bonus: Oly
        support: Oly, but I cant complain at pinny
        Website: both great, Pinny a bit "easier"

        My advice: start with Oly, but use both in the long run

          good odds - Pinnacle has the best lines.
          number of events - Olympic probably better here.
          reasonable bonus - Olympic is better if you like bonuses and don't mind the rollover.
          good customer support - If you actually want to talk on the phone with someone then Olympic otherwise they are both good.
          web site - Most would say Pinnacle's interface is better.

            It means you don't have to lay the standard $110 to win $100. At Pinnacle for example you only have to put up $104 to win $100 on NFL. It will save you a lot of money in the long run. Probably much more than any bonus will.

              I would rather have reduced juice/vig over a bonus. You can't go wrong with either book. Your money will be safe with whoever you choose.

                      I won't even play at Oly, no contest for me, Pinny! Oly lines are a joke and in the long-run will put a serious damper on your profits1

                            Olympic has a 20c spread on NFL sides, Pinnacle has a 8c spread. That's one big difference.

                              one thin i see is olympic has the sprea almost always at 1.91 (decimal odds) and pinnacle is more flexible.

                                Olypic has some interesting lines, but my choice is Pinnacle by far.

                                  Get a neteller account and use them all. If you're not U.S based then Betfair would also be a good option for you.

                                    I hate Pinnacle customer support. Sent 2 emails got no reply, found info myself on their website, but it would be nice if support reply at least on one of the emails 3 hours since I sent them.
                                    Olympic support even if you are going to use email support works very fast.

                                          Oly will have the better line on 1 side sometimes, thats why you should try using both.
                                          After all a 21% bonus with a 4x roll is awesome, at such a high quality bookie.

                                              Try them both, then.

                                              No single book is going to give you the best available odds on every event. The more accounts you have, the greater the chance of hitting the price you want.
