who cares gold

**yisman** · 10-13-13, 01:51 PM

What about rugby and Aussie Rules Football?

**jjgold** · 10-13-13, 02:35 PM

Niche markets more in Aussie

Pinny not gong after that yet

Canadians are not real big usa sport bettors compared to Americans

Just some NFL and small NBA and of course Hockey

Soccer is where massive money is non usa books

**chilidog** · 10-13-13, 02:51 PM

yah, Pinny did a live interview on twitter not too long ago, and they said that soccer is definitely their biggest volume.

**yisman** · 10-13-13, 03:01 PM

soccer has always been their biggest volume I think

They have some monster limits for the champions league, premier league, and the world cup.

Hardly a surprise that the world's biggest sport by miles has the biggest betting volumes.

Yep. Soccer creates about 70% of all the betting volume worldwide.

I'd like to challenge that statement.

Be very surprised if horse racing and cricket accounts for less than 30% of worldwide turnover?

**yisman** · 10-13-13, 04:04 PM

soccer has the biggest volume at pretty much every international book. Nothing unique about Pinnacle.

Excluding US books for obvious reasons.

Football betting - the global gambling industry worth billions

The rise of global sports betting and how money can be made from match-fixing

You're right it does not include horse racing, just sports.

**chilidog** · 10-13-13, 04:16 PM

While this does not translate to volume, 51% of the searches in the online gambling niche are related to horse racing, with the 2nd largest being football (soccer) at 15%.

When Americans were allowed to play pinnacle American sport volume was bigger than soccer

I really believe pinnacle American sports lines are not as sharp anymore

They have the money to keep the margins tight despite the lack of heavy volume

Of course they still take way above volume compared to the average book for American sports

And Australia I would think horseracing is the number one volume sport in the UK it's still soccer and worse racing

Excellent post
Sad thing is it's not from 1st shift JJ

I wish they would reopen nhl live in game betting. Good value if you can spot the opportunities

**bookie** · 10-15-13, 08:23 PM

Has anybody heard if they are going to do NBA Live Wagering?

**Winner_13** · 10-15-13, 08:30 PM

You wouldn't think so...but until this year they always did NCAA Live during the football season. NBA is a more global market, so I'll hope it's a go.

**unluckysob** · 10-16-13, 11:29 AM

SIMPLE----Americans beat pinnacle on US sports---rest of world very dumb sports bettors.

**jjgold** · 10-16-13, 01:47 PM

Soccer is really your only big live betting option there

Everything else is sporadic and small choices of games whatever sport it maybe

They have been the only high limit book to do every game on the board NBA in-game--and at -108. Nothing small or sporadic about there NBA Live Betting over the past several years.

**jjgold** · 10-17-13, 06:02 AM

Hopefully will have NBA live betting this year I think a lot of Asians bet NBA basketball also

Also look for pinnacle to get heavily involved in the tennis market because that betfair killing it

**Winner_13** · 10-17-13, 04:46 PM

JJ, i dont even wanna correct you.

your slipping son, hit the books.
