Let's get some real competition

[SENDITIN]

How come nobody else has tried to clone the Pinnacle business model? Can you imagine if there were a couple of "Pinnacle" like books out there competing? It would certainly enhance the value for us punters.

Bump. I'd like to hear people's opinions on this subject. Thanks.

What about Canbet?

And as long as there are suckers out there willing to lay full price, there will be no incentive for more low-vig books to open.

Canbet is OK for some sports but they can't hold a candle to Pinnacle in baseball for instance. Other than college football, Pinnacle is cheaper in everything.

One because not everyone has as much money as they do. Two because they don´t only take action, they gamble. Not many good books can do both. Third, almost everywhere I read, people win at this book. How do they do stay in business? Maybe with the first two reasons that I gave. IMO

Seven,

I've read the exact opposite on the RX. Most people are losers who play there to any degree. And all books must take positions on games to make money...matchup alone doesn't cover costs let alone make money.
