    Pinnacle only uses the weight of money. The fact that you changed the line in those leagues can be attributed to someone already betting that line at say 15 or 20% of the limit. Your "half max" bet triggered the algo as now the max bet was (almost) reached or reached up to a certain %. This happens all the time, it's the same in bigger leagues. By your reasoning, you could avoid moving the line by placing 2000 different 1€ bets on a 300€ limit line. Won't happen.

    Their way of dealing with the sharper accounts is having the Pinbet88.com site now for agent players. It has limits that are roughly 35% of the standard Pinnacle site. A max bet on that site often moves the line just as much as a max bet on the Pinnacle.com site does, even though it's only 35% or so of the "normal" limit.

      Didn't think of that, but it definitely makes sense now when you wrote it. Thank You for taking time and explaining it!

      And these other sites like Pinbet88... Why would anyone play there, if you can get only third of the limits there? I guess Pinnacle doesn't force you out of their regular website or do they? Or is it for players from restricted teritiories?

        Mostly players that are in restricted countries use the Pinbet88 site.

        Agent accounts have other advantages like being able to move money between different bookie accounts very quickly and often a cashback can be negotiated on turnover. That quickly adds up if you do a decent volume.
