As you may have noticed, the forum was offline for a period. We identified a security incident to Sportsbook Review Forum and took the site offline as a containment step while we investigated.
We wanted to make sure the system and site were restored and secured before bringing things back online and you will see that we are requiring all forum users to reset their password as a precautionary step.
If you have any questions, our moderators are around and happy to help where they can.
This to me is the worst part of their software. Love everything about Pinny except for that. Sometimes that makes live bets or other quick moving lines absolutely unplayable, as you keep on getting booted back to the main screen sometimes four times in a row, at which time the line can move as much as 40 cents. I don't get that part at all, why they can't just get the option of playing at the new price.
That being said, Pinny remains my absolute favorite out, and I'm very glad to still have access to it, and sorry for my American friends who don't.
Yes, that a bookie as huge as them can´t do something about this ridiculous sitution that happens with many price moves is a puzzle to me. The funny thing is that from time to time at certain markets you do get the chance to bet at the new price instead of starting all over, but it´s rare. And those times the prices has moved to a price that is better for the bettor, just give the new price (or the one they tried to bet) and everyone´s happy! This really shouldn´t be too hard to solve.
Nevertheless, life without Pinny would be empty

I believe that in the early stages of live betting they used to show you the line movement change and you could bet it.That was also at the same time where you had to enter your password for each live bet placed.That was a pain

Any ideas why is this happening?
Pinnacle Sports (SBR rating A+) will no longer accept players from France. Current players still have full access to their accounts and are asked to request payment. Ungraded bets will be settled as normal.

France's new laws-any bookmaker must apply for a licence and agree to pay a proportion of their revenues to ARJEL. (8% tax per bet)
Online betting exchanges will not be able to apply for a licence and are
effectively outlawed.
Pinny and Betfair exited the French market.
the bulgarian gouvernment and especially the finance minister S.Dyankov plans to create
such laws in the next year.

Don't know if anybody else is having this problem, but pinnaclesports.com is a total bust for me, as I can't access that site at all. pinbet.com works perfectly, however, as an alternate.....

The "knockin off" has gotten better, but the "freezes" seem to have gotten worse for me. where I place a bet and it freezes and you have to log out and then back in and then check to see if the bet made or not. Of course the number you wanted is long gone by that time.

The best book by a country mile, but improved live betting options and the chance to take 'revised odds' rather than defaulting to the main page would be an excellent improvement.

I am thinking that maybe I got lucky last night but I was having problems every couple of mins while using the firefox browser so then I tried the site with google chrome and I didn't have any problems the rest of the night. Maybe I just got lucky but maybe there is something to it? What browser is everyone using?
I agree that it has become very hard to live bet on Pinnacle. We only have a short window during commercials to get bets in and the lines either take a long time to finally appear or once they have appeared, I keep getting the "time expired" page since the odds have changed. I don't see why they can't just show you the new odds on the page and whether you accept the change of odds or not. They used to do that.There have been times where I have tried to bet a team and have got the time expired page about 6 times in a row and then finally the commercial break ends and I was unable to get the bet in.
I have tried the pinbet.com page but it seems to just redirect to the pinnaclesports.com webpage for me.
Hopefully something is done here. I don't even know if its worth our time to email pinnacle about this. I emailed them months ago asking about this and just got an email stating to clear my cookies and that it was on my end and not theres which we all know is not true.
Guess we will see how this goes and if you guys are having any problems or if things have corrected themselves let everyone know in here

I haven't tried it yet this morning but since i made my earlier post on sunday night, I haven't had any problems. Not sure if its just a big coincidence but I changed from the firefox browser to the google chrome browser and haven't had that problem since. (knock on wood)
Will let you guys know tonight if it still works out good

The man has to get his juice too. I just hope it is not that steep in the US.

Still no problems the last couple of days with Google Chrome. I suggest you guys give it a shot and see what happens. When I was using Firefox I was having lots of problems
