Which book do you think gambles the most when it comes to opinionated lines? My long time pick has been Pinnacle, last week was a classic example they were hanging South carolina +2.5 forever everyone else had it at +3 all the way up to +4.

That being said, they may not be gambling the most because as a % of total bets handled it may not be that large. Anyone have a clue what Pinnacles or any other books risk tolerance(money wise) is on a game they really like before they will move a line?

I think Cascade....but Lenny is sharp and is right more than he is wrong....and when you have the vig working WITH you, this is highly profitable.

Books with opinionated lines logically won't survive for a long,if you guy are correct I must avoid Pinnacle in the future!

VG789,

Do not worry! Pinnacle does not gamble, but you are right avoid those books that do.

The books that gamble, don't exactly gamble with their lines. They gamble just like you and I do, only a lot bigger amounts. It's known that the owners of Pinnacle, Cascade, and Olympic are gamblers but it is outside of their lines most of the time.

Books that don't have a "pot to piss in", while spending their players post up deposit money on advertising and admin costs, are indeed the "Biggest Gamblers" on the Rx...

In the day when Lance, Mitch, and Art had Skybook they would be some pretty opinionated numbers up there.

Also when Monty was at CRIS.

In his prime, NOBODY was better than Monte in moving numbers the right way.
