**YPS** · 08-01-13, 11:44 AM

Why are live-wagers voided with the explanation "The match has already started"?

**easyliving** · 08-01-13, 12:02 PM

bring back the MLB props

**jjgold** · 08-01-13, 12:05 PM

I can answer MLB prop question

There was not much demand for it so not worth their time

**Smoke** · 08-01-13, 12:09 PM

**jjgold** · 08-01-13, 12:35 PM

Money Line	Total	+
Maximum Bet:				14,417.20 CAD	14,417.20 CAD	7,208.60 CAD

**matthew919** · 08-01-13, 04:43 PM

Nice, high enough for me. I thought they had been cut down to less than 5k USD.

What's your beef with those limits, Lecubs? Are you a 7 figure bankroll player?

**Junebug37** · 08-01-13, 04:46 PM

So serious bookmakers deal beatable props?

**offshore tyrant** · 08-01-13, 06:14 PM

Come back to US market and grow some balls ! The US govt ain't gonna do nothing and they can't ! Better yet open a betting exchange for US hungry residents so they can make their own lines and be glued to the computer screen 24 hours a day 7 days a week like i use to be in the matchbook and betmaker days .

NO Sir

**Art Vandeleigh** · 08-06-13, 12:58 PM

So far he has said winners of $300k/month not a problem they have clients who win more, also said he is a fan of Betfair raising commission to 7% in many countries, lol

**jjgold** · 08-06-13, 01:01 PM

Arthur good report

Volume seems high there

JJ, this is one quietly confident ultra cocky dude running the show at Pinnacle.

He is like a reincarnation of Teddy Roosevelt, walk softly and carry a big stick.

JJ, he is the complete opposite of you and me.

**jjgold** · 08-06-13, 01:18 PM

Art he backs it up though

Betfair playing into their hands

**shari91** · 08-06-13, 01:46 PM

Art, please continue to give us the lowdown if you can. Not heading over to Twitter for moral reasons.

**shari91** · 08-06-13, 01:50 PM

Scrap that. Had a peek and can't stop now. I'm a useless cow. But very interesting q&a's over there.

Soccer confirmed as Pinnacle's biggest sport and market worldwide

**ItsMeMrMattE** · 08-06-13, 05:25 PM

heres an interesting one.

Q: Dont you generate 2 way action to balance the book and take the juice
A: That an antiquated way of looking at bookmakers. with our margins we have a much higher exposure, and if we set lines badly we will be exposed on one side. we manage our lines not our players.

we all guessed it was so... a lot of matches all year long and many televised.

**jjgold** · 08-06-13, 05:35 PM

any transcripts of this??

They did it at an awful time

**ItsMeMrMattE** · 08-06-13, 05:40 PM

ya timing bad. i wish i would have known about this way ahead of time.

**ItsMeMrMattE** · 08-06-13, 05:49 PM

dont think i got my question in on time, so ill ask it here and see if anyone knows the answer. ive always wondered if online books automatically move lines based on money coming in, like is it set up like an algorithm where once money coming in hits predetermined spot line moves, or is it adjusted manually after money coming in is evaluated?

Both. Sometimes books will put markets on autopilot, sometimes they will manually adjust the lines. Probably depends on the time of day/volume coming in.
