Pinnacle - over rated?

[betplom]

I agree they are a good book, but I don't see how they are so much better than a number of others.

For example, I've made online $2k bets on CFL games with the Greek, Pinny's limit is lower, I could bet $1k on the game then bet more at a worse price. CRIS & 5Dimes have $5k limits on the same games.

I could also easily bet $5k with Canbet or Centrebet without a price/line change. Not that I often bet 5K, only ever done it once, but I'm using this as an example.

Pinny pays fast and they have better lines than other books especially for baseball, but for football, hockey and NBA, I prefer other books.

The worst part about Pinny is their email only customer support, rude, arrogant and unhelpful to me, if I need to contact CS, I'd like the option of talking to someone.

They aren't for everybody.

No IF bets....
Parlays use worse lines...
RL odds are worse than Bodog....
No phone wagering....

[durito]

Their RL's use a 10 cent line, which I believe is the smallest hold in the industry.

Their strength is definitely MLB, only Matchbook has similar or better lines consistently.

For NFL, NHL or NBA there are better places to play.

There are better places to play for everything, assuming you want to win. Pinny has the most efficient lines in the business. Now if you've already been booted from everywhere else, then you have no choice.

But, if you are just betting for fun (and if you are betting NFL sides, you are), the -104/104 on NFL can't be beat (matchbook of course does many times, but later in the week)

5Dimes has $5,000 limits on CFL?

I asked their chat operator this question and was pointed here:

I have a feeling if you had higher limits than $50 that you would choose Pinnacle. I know I would, that is if I could play there still.

****ers stole 100 from me

I believe they are and think their shit doesn't stink. When I was able to use their service I found them to have some of the better lines out there. Fast forward some, USA players aren't allowed there and therefore I have downgraded them.

pinny does not always has the best line or the most events or the highest limit for certain events, but on average...they're way better than anybook out there.

greek has ncaa BB lines that when pinny don't
