Is SIA bigger than Pinnacle ?

Doug · May 3, 2005

This info suggests they get more views if I understand it correctly.

There are at least 10 books, if not more bigger than Pinnacle.

Doug · May 3, 2005

Yes there are bigger books, but I wouldn't think SIA would be one of them.

This is a great link for webhits http://www.metricsmarket.com You would be surprised at the large volume and low volume based on webhits at some of these sportsbooks. When you consider that Pinny is 99% internet betting, and some of the others are 75% over the phone, and these over the phone books still get much more traffic than Pinnacle.

Pretty cool site. I found it over at TOW.

I think a more accurate traffic graph would be a SB's login URL or betting page URL. Betwsc.com our new URL shows about 80,000 in the last 30 days, combined with worldsportcenter.com 308,000 it totals 390,000. The same viewers most likely use both to find us. Some SB's might use multiple URL's for different marketing that redirect to one URL, not sure how this would affect ranking.

I doubt very much that Pinnacle gets less views than SIA, but that isn't even the right question to ask - the question is who books more action, and SIA's limits are pretty low.

JohnnyDetroit+ · May 3, 2005

SIA is probably bigger than most books people here would use. I knew someone at Web Storm and the monthly marketing budget for SIA was sick. People who use the RX or MW are the more educated type of bettor. The average guy is using SIA, Sportsbook.com or another super duper square shop. When I bring up onlne betting to people at a bar or at a poker table, most of the time they are playing at Sportsbooks.com, MVP, SIA, BetonSports, etc.

In regards to Alexa it only tracks for people who have the tool bar installed. Install the tool bar and you can push your site up 30-50,000 spots in a few weeks.

YOU can safely assume that most of pinnacles hits are people going there to place a wager.

You can safely assumethat most of SIA's hits are people clicking on their damn pop up ads, ads in general, guys like me going there 15 times in the last 4 days to see if they are EVER going to pay me and assorted other losers just ckin out the site....Stay tuned cus the second my money hits neteller im goping to give them a roasting they .....well they wont care about...lol but they'll get it none the less. by the way SIA junkies 4 days waiting on a neteller.....still isn't here yet.

AND J. DETROIT.....everywhere you go people say they play poker at MVP???? glad to know all 30 players they have there frequent the same watering hole.

JohnnyDetroit+ · May 3, 2005

never said poker. i said when gambling comes at either a bar or poker table, for "sports" people always say SIA, Sportsbook.com or MVP.

D2bets · May 3, 2005

SIA could possibly even have more members than Pinny, but, like nimue said, I am quite sure they do not book anywhere near as much action.

Doug · May 3, 2005

It would be nice if they'd take more than $220 on a total since they apparently are a larger operation than I thought. I envisioned a boiler room on that reservation in Canada. I haven't played there in months, always seems someone is complaining about them.

ChuckSims · May 3, 2005

I have never played at SIA but by all the poster complaints that I have read you can only come to one conclussion, they are a crooked operation. Some people have said they pay with their only complaint being they get stalled. I would never go near the place.

I have been playing at SIA for about 5 years - never had any problems with payments . I use Swiftpay™ Echeck there , it's all free and the money is in my account in minutes every time.

My only complaint is there site is slow during crush periods like the half hour before an NFL game , but the crazy lines they have up sometimes makes it worth it
