I use them occationally on tennis. I have pretty much stopped using pinnacle.

moron · 08-12-11, 09:54 PM

Yeah, who needs low juice and guaranteed payment these days???? F pinnacle.

Lucky bastards. Living in a country which does not restrict how you spend your own money. It must be great living in such a freedom-loving nation as yours. Sadly, I live in a country where the people with power make bogus laws and increasingly strip away their citizens' liberties.

It seems like we promote it. Hell, one of the CFLs major sponsors is bet365 and bodog is sponsoring the Grey Cup apparently.

And we promote Pokerstars, FullTilt and PartyPoker..............gotta love Canada.

korbal29 · 08-13-11, 08:25 AM

pinnacle the greek and pokerstars thats all you need

Stumpage · 08-13-11, 09:44 AM

...Toss in BetFair and a smidgen of legends and those are the only books I use, for several years now.....

Duby · 08-13-11, 10:11 AM

I'm a daily Pinny user. Love it!! Only thing they are missing is a mobile site.

belvedere86 · 08-13-11, 10:22 AM

yeah, I also wished they had a mobile site.

but who knows how much it might be down.

jairocon · 08-13-11, 06:47 PM

Seriously though... if crappy books can come up with mobile interfaces - why can't pinna? Placing a bet there through a phone is a total pita!

Monte · 08-13-11, 09:38 PM

Cos they only want to manage it via internet, they have enough volume and don't need phones or mobile.
This is the deal, you get no bullshit in return. I hope it stays that way.

Raven66 · 08-13-11, 10:45 PM

Who cares about mobile betting...............place your bets before u leave your home............duh!

belvedere86 · 08-14-11, 03:07 AM

Comparing Pinnacle to TheGreek is like comparing an APPLE to a Plum. I wouldn't even have $1.00 in TheGreek book if I had Pinnacle to choose from.. what's wrong with you?

Pinnacle are the best

for some yes, but it really comes down to what you like to bet on

others are better than Pinnacle in several areas

you need a bunch of A grade books to cover everything - no one book alone can do it unless you have a very narrow betting pattern

You're an idiot then. The Greek has way more prop bets which are very beatable. Also while Pinnacle has the lowest juice they also tend to have the sharpest line and often you can find a better number at the greek, at least when it comes to derivatives and other smaller markets.

Dazs · 08-14-11, 01:49 PM

I like pinnies, good low juice and arbable.

It's not a matter of one over the other, they are both useful.
You stated that you would not keep any money in The Greek if you had Pinnacle as an out. That is stupid.

TheMoneyShot · 08-15-11, 01:19 AM

It isn't stupid. There's juice on everything at The Greek. I play a lot of underdogs. Pinnacle switches the juice time to time... You practically get the underdog at even money or even at a greater advantage... like +105... So when you're risking $1000... you get $50 extra on them. That's business 101. The Greek... you get nothing. And if you lose... you lose $100 on the juice. That's a $150 swing Tackleberry... where is your brain son? This isn't Police Academy anymore.

Well if all you want to do is bet the large markets at the market price then yes pinnacle will work for you and will help you lose at a slower rate. However if you want to reread my first post for why The Greek is very useful you will understand why anyone who is actually concerned with finding the most +EV opportunities would always have their account at The Greek funded.

I too primarily play the dogs and find that Greek frequently has better odds for MLB ML and for tennis.

For me it is worth having an account with them though I don't use it all that much as the exchanges generally beat the both.

Well Hareeba I wager Football and Basketball. So TheGreek doesn't serve me any justice. I wish someone would teach me how to make a Canadian acct and get the party started at Pinnacle... but no one will let me know the perfect plan. Or maybe there isn't one?? I only live 25 minutes from the USA/Canada border. Someone private inbox me and let me know the scoop. Thanks.
