Is Pinnacle good for Horses?

bhg · Sep 24, 2003

I've perused their North American Tracks selection - is it solid? Is it new? I havn't been with them long ,but hadn't noticed it before.

I did see my local Philadelphia Park wasn't on there!

I don't think Philadelphia ran today. The only list I saw included only the tracks running today. If you have a complete listing of all tracks they will offer, please post it here because I would like to study it. Thanks.

Someone just posted at MW their the best around for Horses since they pay track odds on everything and give 7% daily bonuses.

best US horse racing site is Betfair but they only accept canadians and not US customers - juice fluctuates and if you're smart you can get your bet on at 2% juice or below - good liquidity too

Hard to beat the 7% DAILY REBATE!!

checked out their SW, nothing looks like it. Not eHorse, Not MVP/TcBets, not VIP/GameDay.

Put to use, not very nice. Quite cumbersome not having all info in one interface.

the best part in Pinnacle is not rebates. It is Full Track Odds. and High Bet Limits, too. Max winnings per race (or per day? not sure now) is $50k, good enough protection from race fixers. Big balls? Yes, but then again, Caliente RaceBook is in the same building as Pinnacle. Big horse bettors will enjoy Pinnacle, imagine betting a dime on an 8:1 longshot without bringing the odds down...

As a Pinnacle horse player -- I can say it's the best for the offshore players. I use Brisbet.com for my US plays.

The other sites that limit payouts are joke outfits. Keep in mind that these same firms that limit payouts (30:1 on win tickets; small exactas, etc) don't have to take out the 17-19% take that the tracks do. The loser is the player if you go with anyone other than someone like a Pinnacle.

peterx - quotes "the best part in Pinnacle is not rebates. It is Full Track Odds."

Well if this is this best part of Pinnacle what would you say to odds that are about 20% better than full track odds - thats what you get at Betfair and that's why I say it's better than Pinnacle. Agreed there are less betting choices exactas,trifectas etc but give me the odds any day.
