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

Patrick,

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

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.

?

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.

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

I suppose I can do that.

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

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)

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?

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

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.

I'm there.

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

Done @ +107.

My bet was accepted:

$11.70 on Oakland at -117

Ticket number: 16204365

How about you?

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!!!

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.
