where is pinnacle?

**ken23lau** · 04-12-11, 03:27 PM

Ok guys I got it working. I used firefox with the http://216.152.164.80
When you try to log in it will present you with a certificate error, add this as an exception and hopefully you can get in. If not keep on trying it took me a few tries too.

I managed to get in on one of the above alternate addresses, I don't think it can be any kind of scam as if it was it wouldn't have my balance details when I log in and bet history.

Anyway, I did find the page did not always load correctly, when I confirmed my wagers the next screen would load without graphics, only text but near the bottom it did show they went through ok.

Its worth giving it a go, it didn't work for me earlier but then did, so you may get lucky.

pinnacle is an excellent book but what serious gambler doesn't have money at multiple books anyhow.

If Pinna is under DOS attack, aren't imputable for the problems.
With a DOS attack the only solution is wait for the end of the attack...

precisely
yes, this is an inconvenience but hardly the end of the world
you should have accounts at Betfair, Matchbook, SBO and 188Bet which ought to be able to accommodate most of what you are looking to bet at Pinnacle

Historically it has been gangs of criminals, based in Eastern Europe, who are seeking to extort the online sports books. Usually they pull this at times of the year when the books would be booking major action. For example, the day of the Super Bowl. In the past, the books usually paid them in order to stop their attacks. Eventually the technology of foiling denial of service attacks improved to the point where it was no longer necessary to pay the extortion. What is probably happening is that some criminals have figured out a new way to conduct DOS attacks. A new way which renders the exising counter measures less effective...

Sportsbook.com was down for a long time yesterday, which was not usual for them. They either agreed to pay up or finally figured out how to foil the attacks. Now it seems it is Pinnacle's turn, and they appear to be faring rather badly. This is a long time for the site to be down. I hope they don't pay up though. It only encourages this kind of crime to be repeated again and again.

Wow. You label the things too easy. It is not like that in major cases.

Unreal most of you guys are unprepared bettors.

Pinnacle players should have back up books like betfair and matchbook

**Birre** · 04-12-11, 03:34 PM

Still nothing, now I can't even go to the homepage

why is that?

more likely that not you'd get better odds at Matchbook than Pinnacle for US sport

**protein** · 04-12-11, 03:57 PM

US, there is sports?

Just kidding but no way the total market is covered more by MB than Pinn.

Amazing,i managed to get into my account through that ip address posted here earlier and there are lines to all events games posted and site functions properly that way,well i can't understand why reputable book as Pinnacle can't afford using ddos protection or not interested in such service which is available these days at reasonable cost and would prevent any malfunction due to such events.
