Thanks,

I love the Golden ratings and I know Fish does. Lay em out JJ.

Mudcat · 08-31-05, 06:31 PM

I hate to say it JJ, but that looks like a rookie-ish knee-jerk reaction on your part. You need to keep 'er on a more even keel.

The 8 cent lines have been there every time I've looked.

If you bet on sports for awhile you find that all sites have shakey moments and there's no sense over-reacting. WWTS was a worse mess all weekend and has been having on-and-off issues for weeks.

The time zone stuff is true I suppose but it's such a trivial thing compared to the upside of Pinnacle (making me money).

I'll stick with my rating of BEST IN THE BUSINESS.

Mudcat it was false advertising so that is what irked me therefore the downgrade

I still have them at an A-

j,

I am a LITTLE pissed about this move my friend!

Not real "SMART" from where I sit period.

Let's not start acting like that "OTHER FORUM" already buddy we are just getting started.

Now I know that a lot of the guy's we tried to GET AWAY from over at that "Mal-Practice office" are over here NOW but lets really think TWICE about "throwing stones" at this guy please.

Someone mentioned that + / - system being scrapped, I say we DROP this symbols all together what does the + or - MATTER anyway ? This is not gramer school.

If you know of a better out please by all means let us know will you ?

Square I agree at times the +/- is a little comical. It was fashioned after the Standard and Poors credit rating system which uses A+, A, A-, ect. I actually like the ratings expressed in this way but I know its subjective.

It was funny to see Bill upgrade some book the other day from F- to F+. One suggestion that will probably happen is to eliminate all the +/- for F.

Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions, they are very much appreciated.

jjgold · 08-31-05, 07:41 PM

Square I think the + and -'s are significant

Pinny is a great book but did not want to drop them to a B so I made them an A- for not converting to EST and saying they have -104 juice.

Square I like books to respond to poster requests and they have ignored it.

Pinnacle is an A- right now

I say keep 'em.

Think about it - using ABCDF will only give you 5 options, like a 1-5 rating. Pinnacle and, say, Skybook would both get 'A' status and, as good as both books are, we both know there is quite a gap between them.

With the +/- system you've got 15 different available ratings which is just right - it allows players to see which is a better 'B' book, for instance.

Yeah, I had to chuckle. Some poor sod at Gateway probably thought he did a cracking job to get that kind of upgrade.

F+, F or F- it's irrelevant. Make them all the same, simply an 'F' - for Fukcing stay away.

Brick Tamland · 09-01-05, 05:09 AM

I would vote for just one F. I would like to see every sportsbook who owes money to someone have an F by their name.

jjgold · 09-01-05, 06:12 AM

There is difference between an A and an A- although maybe not major I want to see it

Webber, can you even use Pinnacle from the USA?

Also, I think you should make a demo re-enactment video showing how the meeting between Fishler and Baus likely went down.

jjgold · 03-30-10, 06:43 PM

Now they are a solid B

umm....that would be a great big NO...

This is just another in the seemingly endless JJ Gold attention seeking threads...
