Pinnacle's line -- is it really 8c?

[DarrylParsons]

Patrick,

Hi, I am here and ready. Do you have your Pinnacle lines up?

 

[DarrylParsons]

C'mon, man, I've got a life, too. At least you could say you can't make it or something. I'll wait another 15 minutes, then I give up.

 

[Halifax]

[DarrylParsons]

Oh, sorry for the confusion. This is a continuation of the thread "When Rio/Skybook changes the line...". I offered to "meet" Patrick McIrish here but it looks like it's not coming together today. Maybe another time.

I wasn't confused

. I was bumping this in the hopes that McIrish would see it. I also posted in a thread in the Rubber Room reminding him of his appointment with you and Pinnacle.

 

[DarrylParsons]

So, Halifax, would you be interested in taking his place? I'm ready if you are.

 

[Halifax]

I suppose I can do that.

What do you want me to do again ? I'm logged into Pinnacle now.

 

[DarrylParsons]

Sorry, my connection is slow right now and I have some bets to make. I will be back here at 1:10 pm EST (in 15 min)

 

[DarrylParsons]

Sorry to keep you waiting...if you're still here, Halifax, what you need to do is refresh your screen right now (1:11 EST) just as I have done. Record the lines and refresh every minute until you see one of them change. When it changes, post the line here, OK?

 

[Halifax]

I just refreshed - will let you know when one changes.


Oakland Moneyline just changed from -117/+109 to -115/+107

Oakland Moneyline just changed from -117/+109 to -115/+107

 

[DarrylParsons]

Good, I'm standing by. Also, go to the website: www.time.gov I will be asking you to make a bet and hit the submit button at an exact time according to that clock.

 

[Halifax]

I'm there.

 

[DarrylParsons]

OK, at exactly 1:30:00 place a bet for $10 on Anaheim

 

[Halifax]

Done @ +107.

 

[DarrylParsons]

My bet was accepted:

$11.70 on Oakland at -117

Ticket number: 16204365

How about you?

 

[Halifax]

Wager details for ticket number 16204362-1:

[DarrylParsons]

Great! We did it! We have proof now.

You got yours at +107 and I got mine at -117 which proves that Pinnacle accepts an old line if it is in their favor to do so. All I have to do is email my screenshot to anyone who is interested:

So Pinnacle only has an 8c line if you refresh the screen very, very often. Otherwise beware! You may get screwed!!!

 

[neilm]

So the moral of the story is...

If you are placing a bet at Pinnacle/RIO/Olympic/Cascade/MVPSportsbook/BetAustralia etc. and so on, ALWAYS refresh the lines prior to submitting your wager. It cannot hurt you but it can help you.

TYVM Darryl.
