Man I dunno. If you're talking about the fiercest rivalry for my betting dollars by virtue of having competetive numbers, it would have to be Pinnacle versus Mansion.
They seem to go back and forth day-to-day between who gets the most action. Then there is a big dropoff before you get to anyone else.
But if you're talking about actual rivalries between people behind the scenes, I have no idea.

All vs Pinny...they move the lines most of the time, and the others (have to) follow (usually). Maybe Hollywood has the 2nd most competitive lines, i dont think Cris and Pinny are such big rivals, cause they have 20 cent moneylines.

Again, what two books generally dislike each other?

hmm, in terms of a share of the same demographic...
Pinnacle vs CRIS is a definite one.
Back in the search engine days one had to be BetonSports vs Sportsbook.com
A new one between Cascade and Hollywood may emerge.
VIP vs Bodog vs WWTS?

Great topic, thanks Fish.
Pinnacle is certainly CRIS's greatest rival although Pinny seems indifferent. I dont think Pinny thinks they have any rivals outside of BetFair.
BoDog vs VIP is truly a rivaly. VIP wants that spot but shuns the Bodog tricks and soft porn. I see both of these book aquiring good size books starting now. OK, well in the coming weeks anyway.
the race to the top is on and its still too close to call.
