is mentally taxing!! It seems like day in and day out it is a personal challenge to beat these guys. I quit playing there after bases last year because it just pissed me off losing so much. I didnt even look at their lines until 6-8weeks ago. But you cant help from pounding some of those lines. I know I've gotten alot smarter because this time around I'm only down a little. Its just frustrating that I am way up on sportsbetting, but I only seem to deposit into this book!!

I will figure these guys out yet

If you bet on both teams every game, you'll win at least half

I feel the same way about Oly. I have never beaten them yet I have crushed many "third tier" books.

i am little confused. the lines are not that far off maybe just the vig. i don't see how pinnacle is tougher to win than other books. you should always be shopping for the best line or vig out there. its not the shop its the bettor.

In the past, I would estimate that 80% of scalpers and middlers lost on the PINNACLE end.

Ok I love Pinny and think there the best book out there right now IMO but how many "Pinny is the greatest thing since sliced bread thread or going to be started." It's starting to alarm me a little. They lean the vig to one side many times or better yet have a opinoun (using vig and not the #) that it seems like they are gambling somewhat themselves. It seems like they bait squares (I'm an admitted semi-square myself

) into betting the other side. Doesn't this go against the fundimentals of bookmaking where they are suppose to set a line or move on action not opinoun or move on air? Can this be damaging in the long run if squares start lucking up? Is there someone around here who can explain this concept to me. That being said I do believe Pinnacle is a great book but based on other factors and not being able to beat them. By the way, let's talk about some other books and what makes them great??
