    Ep. 2 PART 2 - Pinnacle Sportsbook Interviews with SBRtv - About the Traders

    John T., a Head Trader at Pinnacle sportsbook, recently did his follow-up interview to the first one he did with SBRtv.

    In Part 2 of the follow-up, John answers questions posed by SBR posters about the traders at Pinnacle - how many there are, how many markets and games they are responsible for, how they are evaluated, and so on.

    Look for Part 3 coming soon, and if you have any questions or topics you'd like to be addressed in a future interview, please post them in this thread.

    note: Due to the sensitive nature of some of the questions posed by SBR posters, Pinnacle is not able to respond to every question and topic submitted. So if a question you were interesting in does not ultimately get addressed, we hope you understand. We appreciate Pinnacle sharing what they can with us, and we hope the SBR posters do as well.

    Really interesting...What I'd like to know is if all the "dealers" are sitting their in the office in Curacao, or are they a distributed workforce. Also, what is the relation between the dealers and the consultants?

    sounds like the dream job so far.

    not sure if it has been addressed yet, but do the traders at pinnacle generate more revenue from the spread or from taking a position on a market?

    This thread has only gotten 236 views as I write, ridiculous. It's great content and deserves more. Stick it on the "Player's Talk" page.

    Interesting series... 20-30 traders? seems to be a pretty low number - I think they work very well on the "market" aspect - basically money coming in move the odds one way or another... and that's why they have small limits on the opening lines - so that market settles the lines as the money moves.

    That was good, but not as interesting as the first part. Looking forward to seeing a better 3rd part.
