    I'd assume they'd want to, but they longer they wait the harder it gets.

    The difference in USA is it's not a county thing. Every state is unique. The best states are already saturated.

    I'd guess more likely to offer B2B services to other operators if they can get that sort of license.

    Even if they did, better options for USA citizens

    Great book no question about it, but overrated by most recreational players.

    If pinnacle hung -3.5 on SF this weekend, every book in the world would eventually follow them

    With the way taxes are set up in a lot of states they wouldn't be able to operate with the same margins that they currently do. I guess they could bump vig up or something in a specific state, but they'll be forced to hold a higher % than they currently do in lots of places.

    Every regular Pinny user knows their LIVE betting is below average.

    OK you want pre game odds. These are copied direct from Pinnacle at the time I am posting. Note the spread and now the current limit is a dime. ....Look at the spread on totals. Not even a 10 cent line. And the limit on totals is 500.

    And these are obviously Pre Game lines even though it says Live. Check for yourself the start times and my post time...

    All wager amounts are:
    Risk
    Win
    Base Amount
    Green - Recently added / Red - Just changed / Orange - Changed 60s ago / Blue - Changed more than 60s ago
    01/21
    NCAA
    Game Handicap Moneyline Total

    13:00 PM 601 Mississippi +9-113 Over 138.5-113 +Props

    Even with no vig Pinnacle, can often and most times find better lines/odds elsewhere.

    PINNY great for non-USA sports and for taking big action on major USA sports.

    Otherwise, overrated.

    Marathonbet could of given pinny a run for there money but they also scared now and wont take any big action. They used to best pinny lines by 4-5 cents on most events.

    The lines you posted yesterday were wider than the lines in SpankOdds line history and the lines I saw on my account. Same with these ones. SpankOdds' line history show's 16c wide for Miss/Ark at time of your post. I guess Pinnacle thinks you're special?

    You can see Pinnacle odds delayed if you do a little searching. Same garbage spreads.

    Big deal NFL. Lines are like rocks. Look at other sports that can be beat. Like Basketball, Tennis, etc. And get back to me with your numbers. And their Live lines are a complete joke, along with their limits.

    As stated before, have access to Pinny no vig lines which is even better than their actual lines, granted have lots of outs, but the vast majority of time will find better lines/odds elsewhere.

    The NFL and non-traditional USA sports tremendous at Pinny

    Anyone in the United States not wagering over 5k per game and bets mostly USA sports............... should be hoping for CIRCA by about a 2-1 margin over Pinny coming to their state.

    Their college basketball lines have been garbage for nearly a decade now. It's about volume and college basketball has little volume on Pinnacle.
