How Do Other Books Stay In Business With Pinnacle Around?

[trackbetsonline]

It seems that you do not need any other book to play at as their prices just cannot be beat day in and day out.

Any thoughts on this?

 

[RobFunk]

They offer western union and a phone number

and lines that arent -3 -175

 

[sherman]

Bonuses, customer service, newbies, the list is endless....

Walmart sells toothpaste as cheap as anyone but they sell it at CVS, Target etc...

 

[RobFunk]

Pinnacle is the best far and away for baseball, but baseball is the lowest volume of all the Major sports. So who cares?

I think Pinnacle is over rated. I thought that even when they advertised here.

The majority of people bet football and basketball, and there are tons of books that can compete with them for that.

Most people dont care about baseball, golf matchups and tennis. Plus they like the newbee bonus as sherman pointed out as well as an 800 number.

Pinny top book hands down

 

[RobFunk]

thats your opinion Dante

 

[TTinCO]

Newbies will get MUCH more excited seeing 20-25% bonuses over reduced juice.

They probably are also much more leary about sending their money to some offshore book that doesn't even have a (public) phone number.

Pinny also isn't known for stuffing your mailbox either--so a lot of players bite on the advertising & offers that they get in the mail.

 

[RobFunk]

skybook for example.

a free half point has an overwhelming statistical edge over -107

plus their CS and offers beat the crap out of pinnys

Easy to beat their lines on baseball with just 5-6 of the right outs, Pinny will have best price less than 50% of the time. Their runlines and totals are quite often the best, with only Mansion challenging them.

skybook is nice.. as is pinni and wsex...

how right you are, though many here seem to think advertising doesn't work....

I agree that Pinnacle's baseball line can usually be beat about 50 % of the time if you have the right outs. Today for instance Pinnacle had -122 on Angels and Canbet had - 117. Also Skybook has free 1/2 point on Football as does Millineum and Royal on Fridays. Carib has - 102 on Tuesday's. <oral of story.... It is smart to have several outs and take the best in every situation.

Pinnacle

For The Horse Player
E Horse Has Drastically Raised Their Rebate Program.
You Can Call Them For Info Regarding Above
I Also Like The Fact That With Their 800 # You Can Cancel A Bet Right Up To Post If You Have Punched In A Mistake Etc. Or Place A Bet ( 2.00 Min)I Do Not Dispute The Quality Of Pinnacle But My Needs Are Suited Better Elsewhere.

 

[randyrohm]

Kermit, Royal does not count. I make about 30-40% of my plays with Pinny and I have 20+ outs.

 

[jwblue]

Pinny is the best out 60% of the time. That leaves a significant portion (40%) for other outs.

IS

To each his own Randy. Like I have said many times before, I have had an account with Royal for about 10 years and they have never caused me a problem. They not only give you free 1/2 points on football sides but unlike Skybook, they give you free 1/2 points on and off of 7 just like Millennium does as well as on Totals which Skybook also does not allow. I also make about 30-40 % of my wagers at Pinny during baseball season but the % is far lower than that during football season as the extra 1/2 points are far more important than the slightly reduced vig at Pinny. There are a number of outs that offer 7 % vig and Carib gives you -102 on Tuesdays.

 

[VaultedTreehouse]

I don't need to play anywhere else anymore. I don't like keeping a ton of places funded and I'm mainly a horse player so Pinny more than meets my needs. Couldn't be happier with the place.

 

[Railbird]

SUCKS that Pinny accepts incoming Western Union, but doesnt pay that way.

SUCKS that if you have a dispute you have to send 4 emails over a 2 day period to solve things.

I understand not having a call center for wagers, but would be nice if customer service have a phone number.

 

[Redneckman]

skybook for example.

But you can't move the half point on or off 3 or 7, plus it seems every time I want to take the free half point to go from 3.5 to 4, it's a -115. The free half point is a ruse.
