    Pinnacle/Nitrogen common ownership?

    If anyone is familiar with Nitrogen and also uses Pinnacle as a reference will see that every line that Nitrogen puts out is a reflection of Pinnacle's. The only difference is the few cents higher that the odds with be on Nitrogen. This is almost a 100 percent of the time occurrence. Does anyone know if this is because they use the same odds creator/service or if they have common ownership threads?

    They use the same lines but different ownership.

    To add to what Raiders said...they have an API which allows anyone to pick their lines up in real time and there have been multiple books who have done so.

    Pinnacle could really f**k with these clone outs if they wanted to, but apparently it hasn't happened.

    He seemed like a good guy. Was there more to the story than they allowed correlated parlays and bad lines that were never corrected and went broke?

    He had it hooked to that gold thing, or maybe that was just a story. I've also had people tell me before it went broke that it was a scam from the get go. I was fooled, or at least I took a chance on a iffy book that did not work out for me.
