Pinnacle Parlay Question

[joez148]

Pinnacle wouldn't let me parlay College Hoops using the money lines. Money lines were available on the straight wager screen,for most of the games.But when I went to the parlay screen, the same moneys lines weren't there. I know their funny with some parlays. Is this normal for them?

 

[VaultedTreehouse]

Not all of their money lines are available for parlays. Yes, that is the case. Not a big deal really.

"Not a big deal really."?

I think it sucks the big one. Pinnacle is great for straight bets but their teaser and parlay rules blow.

I was parlaying the crap out of North Texas tonite but wasn't allowed to use any of Saturday's College football moneylines. It is Thursday and I still can't parlay college football moneylines? No excuse for that.

it's a HUGE DEAL!!! :WTF:

 

[joez148]

Thats the reason I asked, I didn't know this before I sent the Money in. I had to stray from My original plans and it cost me a winning bet.

 

[michael777]

it's a huge deal,you may not be able to play what you wany because they do not offer it in a parlay

 

[charleslanger]

OH, it's a huge deal, huge... I agree w/ the majority here. And worse than not knowing how / what you can bet on what game, or when....... lines are sometimes yanked significantly before scheduled start time......

Makes Pinnacle not much better than an emergency out for sports......

I'm looking into 5Dimes & Skybook-- i hope they will be the answer....

Pinnacle isn't and never has been for parlays and teasers. It's for straight-up bets. You should be playing all your teasers and parlays at one of those solid books which have better odds.

Exactly. So many other outs for other things, Pinny still far and away the best in my book.

charles- You bring up an excellent point. Pinnacle constantly has the wrong start times on events and that causes those games to be unavailable to bet on even though they haven't started yet. They do it all the time on soccer but I'm used to it by now so I plan accordingly. I realize you shouldn't make it a habit of waiting until post time to bet but sometimes you find a good price or get some useful information and want to get a play in and Pinnacle has the game off because they have "their" own set of start times.

As far as the money line parlays go, Pinnacle hates parlays and teasers as much as they hate phone calls.

For a "top notch" operation they always have had many bad starting times, combined with a parlay challenged dysfuntion, they can be rather pedestrian.

They are not the "pinnacle" of sports betting in the modern era, as they let you please be advised of, but rather an economy car type of ride!

I don't even see what's the point of the hurry re closing the lines so quickly-- halftime lines are up & out so quickly. Most games anyhow nowadays, are: turn off & tune in the last two minutes....
