Maybe after football season?

Obviously speculation, but limits across the board seem to be much lower.

Didn't they take 30k on NFL last year?



I imagine Matchbook would blow up if Pinny closed down.

Limits are probably down because they have tremendous less volume with no U.S. punters........just speculation on my part.

They are probably getting hit with sharps that circumvent the no U.S. resident prohibition,something us squares don't bother to go through the hoops to do.

Just speculation on my part.

I'm seeing a 25k (canadian tomatoes) limit on the WAS/NYG spread.

Would love to know how much every big book is getting in daily/weekly/monthly action, broken down by sport.

Pinnacle went from the world's top sportsbook to a complete has been sportsbook the moment they stopped taking bets from US customers. It was a totally moronic decision on their part. They should have told the US government to go fuck themselves.

Pinnacle lost anywhere from 2/3 to 3/4 of their customers. The big problem there is they had little to no chance to make that up with any new customers because anyone who was betting any kind of money offshore already had an account there. Frankly, I'm amazed they're still in business.

Your way off....the asian market they cater to greaty softens any blow of losing post up Us customers...may of lost big chunk of customers but probably only 25% of cash intake.

I think the main reason they quit US--Americans are sharper gamblers---Europeans and Asians just bet--no regard to line value
