I can't think of any other way to make it clear, so here goes.....
Pinnacle almost always has the sharpest line due to their business model.
They have the lowest vig, so almost every sharp and insider has an account with them. If their line is off in any sport, the sharpest bettors on the planet move fast and hard. Pinny knows "whos-who" through vast experience and extensive bet-tracking. When sharps come in, Pinny adjusts their moneylines until the sharp money stops.
I was very disappointed in BetOddessa's boxing vig. I felt Joey would try to compete with Olympic and 5Dimes, giving us 4 very solid offshore boxing outs.

huh? Olympic's vig really isn't any better. Not to mention Olympic don't open stuff up very early for the most part. They have gone downhill. Pinnacle,5dimes and betodessa are all better than Olympic. They used to be a must out, not so anymore.
BTW- What you said about betodessa not carrying all the fights isn't true either.
Wow. I am pretty dissappointed at the incorrect information in this thread. I have every single bout up and its always the 1st number up. NO ONE has more boxing odds. Secondly, I use a 20 cent line. The only book that uses a lower line is Pinnacle. I naturally cannot compete with that Bizness model w/ a 10 cent line. No one can.
Fish. I think you may have never looked under futures in the boxing section. They are all listed there. And they are all up 1st as usual. Not a book out there besides 5dimes that hangs an original boxing number that doesnt start at my desk. And of the ones that do, no one takes as high a limit as I do on the original openers besides Pinnacle, and their limits are the same.

Right now I think no book can argue that boxing is at an all-time high volume wise. More books are carrying it and the demand is getting larger for book sto offer them. Due to the fact that all these bouts can't be on Don Best, if you shop around at the above mentioned books, you can always find great numbers and scalps because all the books have different customers and opinions. Its not uncommon to see a guy like Michalczewski -250/+200 an hour before the fight and -350/+275 at another book.
