    I've never seen so many scared sportsbooks in my life
    Afraid to take a bet on anything these days

    Limits cut faster than ever

    Promotions basically dried up (and it's August too)

    Books consolidating

    Might get back into janitorial consulting

    Mathy's SCARED BOOK for the week of AUGUST 13, 2012

    THE GREEK

    Last week's winner

                      I will give you $1,000,000 if you find a quote of me saying that

                      What you'll find is my discussion of Pinnacle

                      Pauly you still don't get it do you... Pinnacle is a little different than your friend Carl that books parlay card action at your local sports bar

                          I don't do that. Sounds like an easy buck though.

                              Pinny don't accept US players,US market is the largest potential profit margin in the industry................

                              But they do accept layoff action from smaller books who accept US players which is where the $1,000,000 accounts starts to make sense..........

                                  Pinnacle does not boot winners nor cut limits

                                  Believe it or not the #2 book in this regard is actually BetOnline

                                  CRIS a close 3rd but only because their standard limits are lower

                                    pinny has more 250k-500k credit guys (not books) than some shitty rated books here have actual customers... i dunno why this is so hard for anyone to believe... with 50k limits on some sports all over the place there, you think they are going to turn down guys who can afford it? (uh, the answer is no)

                                          If this is true who pays all these big $1,000,000 winners, since these large accounts are mostly winners?

                                            i dont quite understand the question... pinny never has an issue, nor do cris books... bol has had issues for a while, but not everyone is getting stiffed...

                                            pauly, just curious, but how much action do you think comes from the forums?
