BeatingBaseball · 02-13-11, 02:54 PM

Appreciate these videos. Thanks.

As in post #26 - I would be interested in Pinnacle's best advice as to where an American could maintain a 2nd home during baseball season and be accepted as a Pinnacle client with minimal banking constraints.

What a bunch of BULLSHIT double talk on profiling players. Are you telling me that when RAS puts out their picks that you guys don't immediately move your lines significantly? So I guess you guys just stumble your way to making money? I'm sorry I wasted my time listening to this crap..

RonPaul2008 · 02-13-11, 09:55 PM

I have some questions...

1) Do you factor in the market at exchanges such as Matchbook into your lines?
2) Do you lay off any action at other sportsbooks or exchanges?

I guess you missed the part where he explained how Pinnacle operates and focused instead on the gardening advice.

wrongturn · 02-14-11, 10:38 AM

What he said is that they don't profile sharp players in a formal way, but the traders know them anyway after a period of time, because the bets from these players seem to come at right time at right price, so traders start to respect these players' moves.

ArcadeFire · 02-14-11, 11:30 AM

What was the story with the "Pinny Blaster" controversy from a year or so ago? All of the NCAAB overnight totals were manipulated and bought back a huge profit, supposedly.

Stallion · 02-14-11, 03:38 PM

Arcade Fire; nice win yesterday.

1. Were the Owners of pinnacle taken for a ton in the madoff ponzi scheme, and is this why they were forced to take on unsavory partner who has done jail time, been mobbed up, and is overall a very bad guy.

2. How many movers does pinnacle employ to bet out hand over fist
3. Does pinnacle to employ these movers and send the games over messenger
4. How does pinnacle figure in matchbook. When MB Tom started going bad and owed QT millions did pinnacle step in and secure the payment plans, and now with the new ENGLISH MB owners are they taking over all the bad credit debt.
5. Back when you were the main movers of the computers plays how much money did you make. Why does one of the owners detest BW so much? I mean you had him and let him go. You could have had the program all to yoursevlves

I'll be back as I think of them

and justin is not Simon. Simon is english.

Wasn't Simon previously at Intertops?

Justin7? Do you have any concrete proof? I would like to hear John T's reply so that we can finally put to rest just who Simon Noble is.

I know Simon. He is not justin. He is a real person who went to pinnacle around 2005. He was a perfect match as they were trying to solidify a spot in europe. He was previously CEO of intertops.

I am sure John T is just trader who drew the short straw to do the interview. I know a few of the guys who have been there 8+ years and they wouldn't be caught dead doing it.

Thats not finger pointing
It's finger wagging
as in you mustn't ask questions that expose what is in the "king's" closet
Shame shame

wrongturn · 02-15-11, 07:51 AM

I think Simon Noble was played by Justin about 80% of time.

Simon Noble was the head of marketing. I did most of the writing, and we used his name on the weekly publications. It's a lot more marketable than "Elihu Feustel".

I am sure there was a "real" Simon Noble, but Justin wrote the Pinnacle Pulse

sportsfrance is my new hero.

sportsfrance · 02-15-11, 06:42 PM

I'm just a much better reporter than 60 minutes could produce with BW. He would take the 5th on my line of questioning.

Dank_Fire · 02-15-11, 06:46 PM

Wow. I used to love reading those Pinnacle Pules.

bookie · 02-15-11, 08:06 PM

When do we get to see the next interview?

meckis · 02-16-11, 05:23 AM

It was very interesting, also some great questions asked by SBR members, I hope that they will be answered.
