Jack I know you have your hands full right now ...but would it be possible to get Pinny to post w/ you an option list of outs they would be willing to transfer funds.I am sure they are sick about this decision and will do their best to make this situation as easy for all concerned as they can possible make it. I figure on letting my pending wagers play themselves out and then transfer funds.
I personally will need a few days to select outs because of the criteria I seek in a sportsbook.
ie...low baseball [15 and 20 cent baseball is just not acceptable]...teaser football action w/13 pt. teaser and still all ties in any 13 pointer result in no action on that wager.
Over night lines are certainly needed.
I am quite sure a bunch of the other folks will be doing some hard searching now.
It is an absolute shame what has transpired today...Pinnacle is just that...The pinnacle for all off-shore wagering.
This stinks to high heaven...
Best of luck handling this awful mess Jack...and thanks again for all you do...

NYSF, because I 'highly doubt" it, that's how I can say it.
good edit because I didn't say it "can't" happen.
look fuker, if you don't like my opinion or you don't believe my opinion and if you don't trust me or my opinion, why don't you just quit reading it and leave?

all you have to do is email customer service and they'll tell you the books they have transfer with.
it's really not that big of a mess. it's a shock and i'm disappointed and i lost a good out and a great advertiser but life goes on.
this decision by pinnacle opens up the door for lots of new business to the other books that continue to operate.
i have spoken personally to a couple other operators that are thrilled pinny is dropping out of the US market.

My point is only that NOBODY, nobody, thought Pinny would close, and they did, so who the fawk knows what could happen next? Maybe you have inside info or know, I said I hope you're right, sheesh, I just dont have a crystal ball....You're RIGHT though, it's not the end of the world nobody said it was, but we all just hope there isnt a domino effect and thats a legit concern
no they didn't "CLOSE" and nobody said you said it was "the end of the world".
i don't have time for your cynical bullshit.
old school.........@thegreek........football teasers range from 6,6.5,7,9,9.5, 10, 12/14
6 thru 7 any amount of teams i believe
9 thru 10 only 3
12 is for pro only, 4min-4max
14 is for college, 4min-4max
on the 12/14 you can have 2 pro +2 college or any combination you want.....ties cancel the wager(95%) postive
not sure on the baseball lines
lots of prop bets at the greek
just thought i'd give ya some info to help you in your decision making
I meant, it closed to US customers, sorry......I only said end of the world because you said its not that big of a mess and I agree.......It's good they are paying people thats the most important thing....On a serious note, my last question, do you have any knowledge of what remaining books have the most golf matchups every week? come spring/summer I like betting on those, I have read from stanley that 5dimes and a handful of others have decent ones, but a lot of the good ones are closed to us customers...I know of one other book from WAY back in the day that I THINK is still open to US customers and I'm sure they pay, but I am not mentioning it unless it's ok to do so and it probably isn't
if i had your question i would ask someone in the golf forum, not the "Pinnacle shutting down to U.S. customers" thread in the general forum

fair enough, but theres people asking on here about different books this and that, and the golf forum has mostly people using books who DONT take us customers action, so I thought itd be ok to ask the person who runs the site if they could find out :shrug: :shrug: plus this gets more traffic, I suppose could ask wayne, he is in the US
If this business parallels the insurance industry, I would say Pinnacle is State Farm (THE big boys), and I can tell you, whatever State Farm does trickles down and all the little guys follow.
Where the fukc is BDB?

Nice job spelling "your" yes YOU'RE stupid:142smilie scott, lets get this thread back to about pinnacle and the offshore industry, this is an important issue for everyone on here who gambles
Chad,
Thats what I tried to guess also, before I was ripped, happens in a lot of industries, banking too, people follow the big boys often times....I'd also be interested in BDB's opinion, that guy has a lot of great insights
i can definitely tell you that there are A LOT of books that are THRILLED about this news. A LOT of them.
why?
LOL
- a huge amount of gamblers looking for a new out/outs.
- less pressure about lowering the vig to compete with pinny
just to name 2 reasons that are obvious.
damn this sucks.
a dark day for once avid pinny users.
i enjoy betcris's pt program, i think I will move there.
