Ep. 2 - Pinnacle Sportsbook Interviews with SBRtv - Part 1 More About "Sharps"

[SBRPicks]

John T., a Head Trader at Pinnacle sportsbook, recently did his follow-up interview to the first one he did with SBRtv.

In Part 1 of the follow-up, John gets further into the topic of "sharp" action and "sharp" accounts, and addresses a specific question about Right Angle Sports.

Look for Parts 2 and 3 coming soon, and if you have any questions or topics you'd like to be addressed in a future interview, please post them in this thread.

note: Due to the sensitive nature of some of the questions posed by SBR posters, Pinnacle is not able to respond to every question and topic submitted. So if a question you were interesting in does not ultimately get addressed, we hope you understand. We appreciate Pinnacle sharing what they can with us, and we hope the SBR posters do as well.



Ep. 2, Part 1: More About "Sharps"
John T. clarifies, expands on, and repeats some of what he discussed in his first interview about so-called "sharp" action and accounts, including responding to one SBR poster's specific question about Right Angle Sports.

Pinnacle guy sounds like a fuking stud. 7 inches minimum

[JustinBieber]

I agree, minimum.

[jjgold]

[vitalyo]

TNX SBR ! Great interview

GL.

[Pete0]

I soooo couldnt wait for this since the first interview

[bookie]

Ask him if he's married with children, and if so, how his wife and kids like Curacao. And if not, how the night life is there.

This is a fun guy to listen to...it would be great to have him on once a month to do a roundup along the lines that Doc does.

[Thremp]

It seems like this interview is either rife with lies or Pinnacle is operated by morons. (Aside from the obvious lies in the prior video)

Its somewhat laughable to consider these videos factually accurate.

Do you know someplace I could get some more accurate info about how sportsbooks are run? Im fairly newbish, I know how to pick winnahZ, but I aspire to become a sharp and these are topics Im not well versed in.

Why do you keep upsetting people by telling them the truth.

[CanuckG]

Meh interview. Standard questions & responses.

[RealSlimShady]

Not as good as the 1st interview. Looking forward to the other parts of the interview, though.

Notes to Loshak: You need to talk to JJGold.........you need some advice on getting a rug, pal.
Bring back that girl, Shannon from a year or two ago. She was hot.

Where's Judie?

[Winner_13]

granchrow got limited, thats a lie.....they have limited players

[jjgold]

Good interview

Lets get more

[Hareeba!]

granchrow got limited, thats a lie.....they have limited players

I don't think he actually said they don't limit ?

He said they only throw out for dodgy play but didn't really answer the question in relation to limiting

[Winner_13]

i gota listen again..but as i remember he said "we don't limit or kick any1 out for winning"..when thats not true 4 granchrow who got limited

[jgilmartin]

The exact quote is "We've never limited or thrown out a player because they've won too much money"

[jhol3990]

wow, they have all this data and they don't mine it for interesting trends. They need to employ a data analyst to see if there is any interesting info.

[brumbies]

Ganchrow got limited? I thought Ganch himself said he don't bet?

[goblue12]

What's a "bad line" in their opinion?

Scalping?

Just part of the game. Obviously they're not going to show their whole hand. Why would they?

[Richards]

He sounds like he's from southern Wisconsin, or maybe Illinois? Anybody else getting that from his dialect?

[Ruifgalmeida]

you have too be a f..king genius to be limit by pinnacle and if that happen they probably will get you a job.

[noober]

very good stuff. thank you

[grekos]

Henry cut off a horse player I knowfor a fact.

Henry cut off a horse player I knowfor a fact.

Books cut people off on horses a lot. I got cut off at CRIS on horses.

[Thremp]

Just part of the game. Obviously they're not going to show their whole hand. Why would they?

I don't understand why they're doing this.

They're somewhat throwing Justin7 under the bus in the prior video. There are three options to rejoin the video to his resume:

1) Justin7 made a profiling program and it worked so "well" that Pinny stopped using it.
2) Justin7 lied on his resume.
3) Pinnacle lied in the video.

The examples are numerous, but I don't really understand why SBR is complicit in this propaganda. What do they really have to gain? Moving squares from -110 books to Pinnacle would reduce their income. So I don't really understand the nuts and bolts of the motivation game with this Goebbels move.

[jjgold]

Pinnacle does not take horse bets and have not for years

Great job with skype interview with gaming lawyer.
Much much better tha earlier betfair.
Key pointed for you:
Don't be repetitive, or allow guest to.
Specifics are interesting. "please share with us the details of what happened without the real names".
Conflict properly handled is gold.
Best

Probably more general than specific. Educate people just enough so that they think they're smarter for it, but not nearly enough to make them see the bigger picture. Later editions of the Pinnacle Pulse followed the same idea.

i hear a slight Canadian accent
