    Where were you the day Pinnacle went down?

    I remember it like it was yesterday. For US customers it was a like losing a close friend.

    Neteller was also a tough loss! It was so easy getting withdrawals in hours.

    JJ - saying Pinny is unmissed is more than a bit ignorant and flippant.

    If you ever start actually betting offshore and/or leave the country, then please regale us with more tales about how Europe and the rest of the world wager and how unregulated Central or South American books are incredible.

    Until then, perhaps give us a weekly rundown what's on sale at Walmart and Costco or such

    You're definitely better off playing at high juice books.

    Pinnacle juice is getting wider and wider because they're lacking the liquidty

    It's definately taken more of euro type book up now


    It's betfair, matchbook and then everyone else's and also ran as far as books around globe for non Americans

    I remember it like yesterday....

    It's that feeling you get when the girl you're with wouldn't put out... and she went buh bye on you.

    Like a whore that finally closed her legs...

    Something you'll never forget.

    JJ - you have a chicken and the egg situation here. You claim never was missed because NOW liquidity/etc has moved elsewhere.

    I see 5Dimes offering -105, same as Pinnacle but Bookmaker only -110 on today's NBA.
    Thinking Pinnacle will take larger wagers.

    An originator can be beat Pinnacle. Their buyback is pretty good but I think it only has break even value long term.

    I think this is just about when Pinnacle dropped the US, not that Pinny is down now.

    The OP is reminiscing.

    There is no credable off shore wagering facility. The bottom line is that the Feds can shut their US operations down whenever they want. Most offshore books are uner funded, and the ones that are not are also not regulated in any way. It is a lose-lose for guys who use them.

    I was at work and remember like it was yesterday. Was playing online blackjack in the Pinnacle Caśino the night before and betting pretty big. Also won some big tennis bets with them that week.

    They handled my five figure cash out through Neteller really quick. I rolled up the stake and went to Vegas with it a couple weeks later.
