I know of a bet that was lost by them in the last 2 days. Pinny has been running rough the last 2 days and has been hanging on confirm page frequently. player had the transaction # etc and Pinny couldn't find it. He just bet it again and at better odds. No way to win a dispute with Pinny. if u win you lose that battle.

The issue may well be genuine, but do you want to tell us how you are betting there when you have publicly stated (more than once) they closed your account?Comment -
ban OPComment -
Never had any problems with pinnacle. That's probably the only bookie that I feel 100% secure regarding my winnings.Comment -
Pinny is solid. No problems ever with them from my experience.Comment -
OP has amazingly bad luck with books......Comment -
Maybe its not the books????Comment -
I actually had a winning 6k wager lost there a week ago. I assume that I screwed up the confirmation. Sadly, I'm resorting to screen-shots everywhere now.Comment -

Tiny little utility, any time you hit printscreen it dumps a screenshot to disk.Comment -
Sometimes you get the Fatal Error message on a confirmation. As I said, player had the transaction # (not a screen shot) and Pinny would not admit taking the bet. Best to routine check all wagers every hour or 2 before game time if you have time. I am paranoid, so i often check 15 minutes prior to action to be sure its down.Comment -
never any problems for me. other than close to kick off when the lines move quick and you keep being told its changed and to go back to the menuComment -
my friend had ufc bets "lost' he said he confirmed it.
the money was deducted from his account.
and he rooted the ufc bets in and after he went on to check and it wasnt there
.
.they emailed saying he didnt confirm it properly and clicked backComment -
Justin7, Did you check how much would it cost to have a computer expert fish that bet out of your computer?Comment -
Pinnacles IT Department told me they have reviewed my logs for 29 September and find no Total wager was sent in.
Ok, maybe it´s my fault.
Maybe I really forgot to confirm this bet. Things like this can happen
But as a semi-professional player I would say the probability of this is below 0.1%
this issue really drives me crazy
P.S I only lose 600Comment -
i think we've all been there.
it's only winning wagers that "disappear". or we simply don't notice losing wagers disappear?
- does anyone recall having lost wager "disappear in the air"?
- is there any documented instance of a book "making bet disappear" - ie. has anyone ever submitted screenshot of wager to force the book to pay? i recall one such instance from forum (bet365), but apparently it was a player doctoring the screenshot.
anyone?Comment -
When doing my weekly reconciliation of bookie accounts I have from time to time discovered totally missing bets both winning and losing and simply put it down to my error.
I've also found duplicated bets which I steadfastly maintain are system rather than my error but not ever been in a position to prove it although I have actually seen it occur through no more than a screen refresh and on that occasion I contacted the bookie immediately and had him void it.
Although I do take screenshots almost all the time now I've never had an instance of needing to submit one to a bookie to prove a missing bet. It will be interesting should it ever occur to see if the bookie accepts it or accuses me of fraudulent manipulation.Comment -
VIP/Nine sends an email confirmation of all your bets you placed there... Can't see why more books don't do this, especially books the quality of pinnacle, as it would pretty much eliminate all questions on if the bet was placed or not...Comment -
Last Saturday I had a £2500 wager on Chelsea (which Im 99.9% sure I placed) which was not ever placed. It would have lost so I am certainly not complaining!! Pretty sure I confirmed it though but I may not have.Comment -
This is definitely strange. I've made about 0984509850985 bets at pinnacle over the last 4 years and have never had this happen.Comment -
Only strange thing I noticed a few times when placing a bet there is the confirm wager page is just blank and I have to go back and try it again. Seems like that only happens when its a really busy night.Comment -
i think any disappearing wager problem at normal books is due to system/internet issues.
the known books where manual tampering (on other issues) with player's funds have been reported, are shady outfits.Comment -
Seems to me that there have been several people believe they've made bets there which have vanished (including myself) but so far nobody has come up with any evidence in the form of a screenshot to prove it?
I think we must give Pinnacle the benefit of any doubt at this stage.
I suspect that on the last upgrade of their software the submit and return buttons were switched from R to L and vice versa? I'm sure I fell for that a couple of times.Comment -
I don´t give a shit about all those SBR Ratings
the biggest scam books rated A here at SBR while good books are C or D rated.
SBR is only an advertising companyComment -
So what C/D books do you recommend?Comment
