Find a bar that runs a Super Bowl pool every year. Chances are the local book may be right there. I have had several local books for the last 30 years and never really had a problem finding one.

What a tough day. I am going to miss the oddball things that pinny has lines on. The Aussie NBL lines and tennis lines. I will also miss the minor league baseball lines they posted all summer, made some decent coin off of them. I admit there are other places but none of them have the low vig and the options that pinny had.

you're just gonna have to step the handicapping up a little bit....52.4% winners is all it takes laying 10%.....there are books with alot of options and with this recent development, i'm sure books will increase options, bonuses and such to lure in pinny's customers who are looking for a new home..... check out the sports book review or start clicking in the top left hand corner of this site

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.


Man i don't know i always looked at this book to be the creme de le creme of sports wagering and besides Greek they just knew more than everyone else. For them to leave and give up millions is awful. to me its like they know something that the others don't. In my opinion if Greek folds its checkmate. Man i hope im wrong. This is really sad. Well look at the bright side at least they had the class to pay everyone and don't
forget all the terrorist that we will capture because of this. These fuking politicians are beautiful.

I guess I just feel weird walking around asking people. I don't want to ask the wrong person (cop). I'm in grad school and I don't want anything like this coming out and ruining my rep and getting me kicked out of school. Too bad I don't live in Saratoga anymore other then summers or you could point me to the right place.

spurs, don't post links to other forums i'm sure some moderator will tell you.

i just emailed pinnacle again and called wsex also and am having my funds transfered there. i'm not a bonus whore, but **** it. I asked the lady if i could get the bonus by saying mj's instead of the other forum and they said sure. we'll see how long this takes, and I'll update it. they seemed happy to be getting all this new business, but again, we'll see.

people say if the greek goes under, its the end, but if wsex does i think it really is the end because they hate the government more than anyone and aren't scared of shit. they got a million lawsuits against them and they can't be touched as of yet.

i wouldn't be surprised if the other books wouldn't also give out bonuses for transferring to their book.

of course they will or atleast offer some kind of bonus or something to draw people in, 65% of the biggest book just got released into the wild........thats what i was stating up above, other books are scrambling to get this business the rest of the books are scratching their heads, saying wtf, whats going on that we dont know about, by the way AR, good write up on the balt/indy game

Well the obvious thing is that when Frist made the offshores illigal and attached it , it goes into effect in 9 months. We are getting close as it was signed in early Sept.

Lets face it there were alot of behind the scenes crap going on to get Frist to do it and how it went down. Now Frist has decided to retire and is out of politics so we cant touch him anyway.

it stinks

WHICH BOOKS HAVE THE EARLIEST LINES OUT EACH DAY??? I NOTICED PINNY AND MATCHBOOK HAD LINES OUT THE EARLIEST USUALLY...WHO ELSE HAS LINES OUT VERY EARLY? THANKS!

RS use the greek bro, i have used them for a couple of years now and they are solid (early lines,3 qtr betting,totals) they are kinda like pinny but without the low juice :thumb: and they pay the fastest IMO and also grade the plays the fastest

What truly stuns me is how many of you guys go to a book because of low juice. Id much rather look for a site with lines that benefit my style before i would even think of low juice.

Not quite the dumbest thing I've heard, but close if you do this for a living.
