Problem with Pinnacle

Brock Landers · Sep 15, 2003

I like pinnacle as much as anyone, great book. But to me they have one major flaw, and thats this..

3 team parley

Southern Miss Money line

Illinois +10 1/2 (buy 1/2 point)

Oregon -12

i can't do a parley with money lines in college football, or buy points in parleys, and to me that is ludicrous.

I made this exact play at Millennium this weekend and won 2 dimes. I would have been safe taking Southern Miss -5 1/2 and Illinois +10, as it turns out at Pinnacle, but i was also happier with the ML.

Anyone have an opinion on this dilemma?

a book doesn't do everything that you want it to do or think it should do, the thing it should do is pay you when you ask for it....everything else is extra

I don't know why they would take away moneyline parlays which they took before.

a losing proposition for them?

a software change?

shrinking bottom line?

Pinnacle has some customer service issues that they should address. The way they handled their site being down on Saturday was very poor. You can't bet certain things on the phone which makes no sense at all. Not everyone has their computer strapped to their back at all times.

As some of the above posters have talked about, there is no reason at all not to let bettors buy points or use money lines in parlays. That's totally moronic. Pinnacle is very overrated and needs to refocus their operation.

They allow moneyline parleys for NFL, but not college. To me thats shitty, i mean i wasn't with them during the college basketball season, but from that i have to imagine they have the same policy there..NBA is ok, college is not.
