    Why did pinny take my 5 cents? :)
    7:21am 19-Dec-12 19-Dec-12 Handicap aaa (-a) vs bbb. 1.870 122.00 106.09
    If I do the insanely difficult calculations by hand, my winnings should be 106.14. So who took those 5 cents from my winnings? )) Is there some new "winner's fee" at pinnaclesports? )

    Did you calculate manually in EUR or USD?

      Account is in EURO. But I don't see any differences in calculations even if the account was in Norwegian krones.

        Did you place it via mobile? I posted a few weeks back that for some reason the odds through there differ ever so slightly. Regardless if you've your settings to display EU or US odds the odds and payout has always been the same via desktop, in whole dollar amounts -110 -111 -112 etc. However, I noticed the decimal odds was off by a fraction here and there 1.885 would become 1.884 etc, just assumed it was some issue where the odds were just displayed incorrectly, but indeed I noticed several payouts of a couple of cents less... $99.99 and so on, this was only via mobile site though.

          My bet was placed "traditionally" via normal website.
          Been betting with Pinny ~5 years and never seen anything like that

            Your 1.87 is in fact -115 American odds - thats the reason

              Yup, they always calculate your winnings using american odds.

              And -115 is equal to 1.8696

              So if you calculate this, you get: 122 x 0.8696 = 106.0912

              Which is then rounded down to 106.09

                Sounds logical, but they've never done that before. I use an excel spreadsheet where I write/calculate my winnings and this was the first time when the balance doesn't match.

                  Thats correct. Didnt do OP's calcs just assumed they were off. I've always had payouts as per US odds regardless of which I choose to view.

                  Placing bets through mobile site can be off a few cents at times though:

                  1.862 116.00 99.99

                  1.885 113.00 99.89

                  1.926 108.00 99.90
