    They're as good as it gets. Put whatever grade suits them best, but in my opinion they are quite superior to any other book and I've been with literally dozens at one time or another.....

      The stability of the site is not the best, I agree.
      In every other respect however they are head and shoulders above any other traditional book.

        Than how can you explain these 2 mistakes: 1. "Over 1 total goals for the match" for 5 soccer games from Premier League? 2. Just last week, tennis, Davis Cup, Pinnacle was offering "u/o 33-34 total games" (instead of 20-22) for at least 6 matches that were going to be played best of 3 sets? Come on, if the Pinnacle guys who are calculating these odds have no idea that in matches 4 and 5 of a Davis cup match there will be played max 3 sets (not 5) if the general score is already 3-0, then Pinny has some problem.
        Have you really taken a closer look?
        For premier league they also offer 1st half lines closer to the weekend - where you'd find o/u 1 goals.
        For Davis cup - it was indeed best of 3 sets - which means it could have easily gone to 5 sets and some matches indeed did go to 5 sets. If it was a specific case of a 3 set match as you mention - I doubt pinna wouldn't have noticed any discrepancies within minutes - as these matches were heavily bet upon.

        Sometimes they get a handicap wrong on a less popular market - it happened to me twice on a halftime italian serie A - but instead of betting on it and then once they realize having it canceled - I just emailed them and they corrected it promptly. I didn't get anything out of it (as someone mentions that you might be positively surprised) but I don't mind.

        Pinna is an A+ book. Every book makes mistakes here and there... pinna is no exception.

        In terms of accessibility - that is indeed their main problem - especially before main evens such as when champions league matches are about to start. However, they do come back online within minutes... though it sucks when it happens.

          Stop complaining and bet somewhere else then.

                Yesterday it was really annoying. I wanted to place some NHL bets, at that time the website was not accessible for me, 5 minutes later the website came back and the odds were down.

                Today one time the website was not accessible for about 20 Minutes.

                A few days ago the website was not accessible for about one hour.

                This situation is frustrating, and it's getting even worse every week.

                  1.It was an o/u 1 goal for the match, before the start of the match, and to odds were 2.01.
                  2.Best of 3 sets means that max 3 sets will be played.

                                  DOS attacks for months nearly every day. I can't believe this.

                                                Hi guys,

                                                Pinnacle Sports management has written the following official statement to SBR posters that have been reporting these accessibility issues.

                                                Pinnacle Sports is very much aware of the accessibility issues that some posters have been, and in some cases still are, experiencing with our site.

                                                We assure you that we are working around the clock to address these issues.

                                                Until a fix is in place, we would like to take this opportunity to apologise to those bettors that are affected by the situation.

                                                It is rare for us to publically address issues such as these. We hope that in doing so we underline the importance being placed on finding a solution.

                                                    It's idiotic because you get things too easy with Pinnacle. Try betting from the US and you would daily kiss the ass of everyone at Pinnacle to get to bet there. The best book Americans can wager at is something like Bookmaker where it takes a week or more just to get a simple wire. When I could bet at Pinnacle I was able to get a Neteller payout within AN HOUR! I will take technical problems once a day and even those tech issues cost me a game here and there to know that when I want money it will be paid in the blink of an eye and they won't shut me off for winning!

                                                    I'd still take them and there problems over ANY offshore Americans have access to.
                                                    There it is! Amen Brian. If you have access to Pinnacle then you get life a little to easy. Try betting in a world where Pinnacle isn't an option and you will realize what you have with them. Nothing on the internet, technical, or especially in second world countries is going to be perfect. Batting .800 is about is perfect as you get and Pinnacle is better than that which makes them damn good.
                                                    Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday.

                                                      While I appreciate the sentiment, I only have a short while to bet today before I head out, and I can't get past the login page. Lost winnings are lost winnings - and it always wins if I never bet it!

                                                        They should post that public statement on their website! As much as I defend them, I'm stuck on the login page for the past 40+ minutes. Luckily there are backups (asian books of course). How hard is it to keep the site running? Why don't they host at amazon or some other reliable place?

                                                            I understand but it's just about being practical. I want a wife who looks like Jennifer Anniston, screws like Angelina Jolie, doesn't bitch, and is ready for sex whenever I am. That's what I would call an A+ wife. When you find your A+ book let me know because then I know my A+ wife is out there somewhere. The world isn't perfect and problems suck but when you compare it to the rest of the market they are the best, without question. I am not really attacking your position but these people who piss on Pinnacle for problems just make me laugh sometimes. Sure technical problems are annoying and I agree it should be fixed so it isn't an issue but people expect perfection from A+. In terms of offshore sportsbooks despite the problems Pinnacle is the best and thereby deserves an A+ to signify they are ahead of the pack.
