..........what is your major reasoning for not having more than this?

Money?
Feel that is all that is needed?
Laziness?
Safety issues?
ETC?
ETC?

I only use Pinnacle as I am too small a bettor to warrant shopping around.

that is exactly why I use only pinny also and only have one out

..gambling is NOT life or death to me..that might be another reason

I find that Pinnacle is all I need during baseball season so I take out most of the money I have in my other outs and just focus on Pinnacle then re-up with the 3 or 4 other books I use during football season.

Most of the offshore lines are really close to one another, if not the same. I feel comfortable dealing with the book I use and don't see the need to shop around.

Only using Pinnacle for bases right now. Lose very little really until foots when I will reup at my other favorite shops. You do need other outs for foots and baskets without any doubt. You see that -114 at Pinny you like, so why not get it at -107 at Hollywood. So damn elementary.

Part of the reason I'm down to one book right now is that I am buying up shares of International Speedway [ISCA], Speedway Motorsports [TRK], and even a few Dover [DVD] shares. This is long term for me. Umpteen reasons why and y'all know there's a new TV DEAL looming in the not too distant future for Nascar don't ya. Anyway I now own a tiny piece of every single Nextel Cup track and plenty of others too.

Just a little sidebar if you don't mind. Me and Mrs Jones were waiting in line to squeze into Martinsville a few months back when a plastered ole boy behind us said "Man I'd like to have even a little piece of all this." Well that just got me to thinking. But I did do a lot and I mean a lot of reseach. Everything indicated it was good to go.

It's not like it was a few years ago or so~~

Everyone follows pinnacle's lines around like a little puppy. It's getting ridiculous. The longer time goes on the less books each and everyone of you will need.

Spreading that much cash out has always been the issue for me...If I'm betting a nickle a game, I'd probably need to have 5 books all with 3-4 dimes in them...I prefer to use just 2-3 at a time...yeah, I know its not the wisest thing but, gambling isn't my business...

Just use Pinny, just need Pinny. Only time to use another might be a local in foots.

If PINNY was my only out, I would be in DIRE STRAITS financially!

Sorry to hear that fish. I can keep my head above water there. Never too high, never too low so far. Can't complain. I don't want to call a sportsbook anyway, so I'm very happy there.

Tough for me to have more than one or two outs with the money situation....

I like books that offer extended wagering menus and offer overnight lines and early betting opportunities.....too aggravating having a book that waits a few hours before gametime to put out a number, only to find the number they put out has all the value bet out of your position, and you could have had a better number a day or two before with a good sportsbook.

Most books are too lazy or too protective to offer early lines and deep menus, the least they could do is copy someone else's lines......I'm more into totals and team totals, so there are only a handful of books that I'd even look at starting up an account with....
