"Best book" Pinnacle: Are you beating them or are they beating you?

I voted for them number one.

I can not beat this book. For me, they are a "walking trap"....

How are you guys that play there doing with them overall? Their lines look easy but... (for me).

 

[PanchoSanza]

I'm down about 10 dimes there, but thats on about $500k of action, 90 % of which is baseball.

Give me time and I will take them to the woodshed. /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

 

[PanchoSanza]

Did you guys get snow on xmas morning?

We got a good dumping here in Toronto. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

 

I am down way more than 10 dimes there, and I am a pretty small player. Can't keep money in there...

 

[blueedwards]

i got my ass handed to me there. i have switched my philosophy as a result. now, i compare the pinnacle lines to the lines at the other books and, if everyone has a game at 7 and pinnacle has 6.5, i play the dog at 7 at the other book. seems to be working.

 

Shhhh.... /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

 

I'm 0-5 with them. Five straight one and dones. Of course I've always tried to hit a three or four teamer right out the gate. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

My palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy! There's vomit on my underwear already!

 

Hummm, does ANYBODY beat these guys....

Pancho, got a sprinkling. Just enough to make a postcard like out of a Bing Crosby movie.

Lost a quite a bit on baseball scalps, got a little back on baseball sides.

Am up big in NHL, College BB, and NBA. Gave maybe 10% of that back on a little loss so far in NFL.

I think there baseball lines are the toughest to beat. Everything else is close enough to what everyone else is offering that I don't see the "Pinnacle Effect" in other sports.

 

[Hamberg]

I have been with them for some time I am up with them but not a major amound but have saved a ton on the fact they have reduced juice and smaller money line speads in baseball vs other outs. Pinnacle I used before the went online and even then they had a true dime line in baseball.

 

[entropy]

winning.

 

[lurkerforages]

I am up pretty big there but I also know lots of people who can`t beat them when scalping or middling.

 

I can't win there. Never have been able to on a regular basis.... /infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

 

[basesAREloaded]

In fading the public @ +100 and up, Pinnacle gives ya' ~3 bucks extra per hundred wagered.

I won't expand on this ~3% factor. /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

Figures are black.

 

[Scoob]

I'm up over 20 dimes on them. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

 

[capsmaster]

Canbet is the one I can't seem to beat. I went through a 3 month stretch hitting around 75% at Pinnacle last summer and than at that same time giving most of it back to Canbet. I would be making withdrawls from Pinnacle and sending it right to Canbet. I actually got a little worried they would cut my limits but they never said anything and just kept paying. It seems like there is always one book that is tuff to win at, and that one is Canbet for me. It had gotten to the point where I would actually look at the lines and if the best number was at Canbet I would get pissed and think here is another loser.

 

[Fishhead]

Have lost there more than anywhere.

 

[smoothie]

I've won at my other books, but have been losing big time at pinnacle. I keep pumping money into pinnacle and I keep losing but I keep winning at other books. It's weird.

 

[altice]

I can never EVER beat Pinnacle EVER. There are a couple of books that I can never lose to. I guess Pinnacle must love me.

 

nope, i rarely have a winning day there, let alone a winning year. Henry sure is ONE HELL of a sharp /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
