Pinnaclesports
|
| Introduction: Pinnacle offers players the best betting lines in the business. Put another way, Pinnacle operates on a lower profit margin than other books. They are successful in part because they do not offer costly bonus and promotional gimmicks.
Located in the preferred gaming country of Curacao, Dutch Antilles, Pinnacle is a strong, well run company, a bit of a throw back to what book making used to be. They accept all players, professionals included. The emphasis is in managing the book, not the players.
The website is truly exceptional. Customer service is handled by e-mail. The average email is returned in 4.1 minutes. The entire operation is remarkable. Keep in mind, Pinnacle deals the most discounted vig of ANY major sportsbook, with -104 style pricing on NFL sides and baseball as well as -105 style pricing on college football, NCAA basketball, NBA and the NHL. They are able to do this by keeping their expenses low. This works for most players, but if you are the type that needs more phone-in customer service, you will be better off choosing VIP, Bodog or Bet365. No phone number is even listed on their site, although SBR does list one as is required for reviews.
Overall, Pinnacle is a great book for the moderate to larger size internet player looking for the best betting odds. This is the undisputed best book for the professional player, without a close second in sight. |

| First impression, design and page load. |
| The front page is designed to let the users know that this is a bookmaker, not one of those aiming to win a web award with fancy graphics and animation. All the available sports for betting is displayed on their front page for ease of navigation. |

| Service and support. |
| Their customer service is well trained and available for your calling 24/7. The only beef I have with them is that they do not have a Live Chat, but no worries there, emails are generally answered pretty fast, from 15mins to 1-2 hours. |
