Pinnacle are betting to 102% regularly. They'll never close your account if you win, no matter how they've profiled you (sharp, arber etc). Their limits dwarf everybody else's. A+ rated at sportsbook review.

To say Pinnacle will NEVER close your account is a little over the top.

But I have been consulting with people in the know, and the general feeling is that Pinnacle are a good firm to use, although getting the account setup in the first place can be tricky, apparently. They dont overly restict sucessful punters and that includes arb players.

I doubt many people on here would care about limits, restrictions and arbs, but if they are betting to 102% on football then fair enough. Hills, Ladbrokes and Corals cannot do that due to their overheads...

Tredder Early banker, Blackburn at home to woeful Newcastle, 5/6 with Hills.


Hills have been betting English Premiership matches to 106% recently, so you might even get a better price than that closer to the off.


Was evens with Bet365, that was knocked over, to be honest, 5/6 is a cracking price anyway.

Very easy to setup an account with pinnacle. They are very aggressive and dynamic with their lines hence why they can have the 102% model.
They work out of the Carribean so there overheads possibily lower

I know a trader that used to work at Pinny (what he calls it - he's a yank) and he says the attitude there is 'bring it on' they are more than prepared to take anyone on.

Point about Carribean very true. As I said, been asking around, and unlike most firms based out there, Pinnacle are well thought off.

102% is a very tight book though.. Must be rife with arbing potential..

Assuming it wasn't a level stakes bet.

The Blackburn certainty is blown wide open now, unless this was a freak result and Newcastle really are that poor at the moment.

Would ‘over 2.5 goals’ at the Madejski on Saturday be the bet of the week? Might take a look at over 3.5 goals too.
