    Is Pinnacle the be all and end all for straight bettors?
    Sup all,
    I straight bet the major north american sports on day of the events. i line shop at 5 dimes, greek and betjam but i do almost all of my bets at pinnacle. I'm starting to think i should just move all my BR to pinnacle. supersafe, best juice, etc. think this is a bad idea?

        always have at least
        Pinnacle
        Matchbook..but not a huge amount of bankroll,just in case or until they say who is truly backing them
        heritage..if you can't get an invite than CRIS or Greek/Bet jam
        and you are set
        sometimes the lean is against you and the juice is better at those other shops

          for straight bets , yes, they have the highest limits, but for props parlays teasers, go with 5Dimes or greek, but if you want variety 5dimes is the ONLY place, for straight pinnacle and matchbook

            most of time matchbook has best value on both sides within a few hours to game start.

                you don't have to wait
                put in a bid at a couple of cents or so more than you can get at Piinnacle
                mostly you'll get matched and that way pay no commission

                  just transfer in a small amount to have at MB, if you grow too big there, you can transfer some to Pinny.

                    Matchbook is a must out. If you are winning without Matchbook, you're throwing away a huge amount of money. Assuming you bet more than $50 per wager.

                      Many times, I found much better lines at Matchbook. Sometimes, even better then Pinny

                      ..but Pinnacle is a must-have too!!

                          I wish I could relate to the poster whose unit is getting bigger. I believe that mine is shrinking, although I refuse to give in to the spam emails I receive daily and order a 30 day supply. As for the advice of Pinny and Match--they have to be the pillars. All other thoughts would come if you had extra bankroll for window shopping.

                            Sawyer yes, but pinnacle is safe and I you really think matchbook is safe? I been there and they never slowpaid me but for now my balance is zero thanks to slowpaying wsex. what you say about this?

                              As it comes to live-betting, I would rate Pinnacle somewhere between D- and F+.

                                    I agree with this DIF. I stopped to play with all those asian books live 3 years ago. It´s a complete cheat

                                    (and I`m really wondering so many people support those sh!t books like mansion, 12bet etc here)

                                      Pinny and Matchy are the pillars, always the best and most accurate prices.

                                          for straight bettors, matchbook always is your paradise.

                                              And to OP matchbook has never had any real payout issues, I may trust them to much but they have earned it.

                                                  I always like having outs, but when I had Pinnacle, I rarely made bets elsewhere.

                                                    true
                                                    you need to keep monitoring the market.
                                                    so if you don't have the time for that you do run that risk
                                                    but as long as you're not being too greedy you should get matched most of the time
                                                    ask for a price which is better than Pinnacle's for both yourself and the guy who is going to take your bet

                                                      you need to keep monitoring the market.
                                                      so if you don't have the time for that you do run that risk
                                                      but as long as you're not being too greedy you should get matched most of the time
                                                      ask for a price which is better than Pinnacle's for both yourself and the guy who is going to take your bet
                                                      thanx for your opinion, your a scholar and a gentleman

                                                        to simplify your life, if there was only one book to choose, i'd take pinny. you don't get the best lines all of the time, but oftentimes you do, and even if you don't, it's usually within 1-2% of best price.
