Question for B.B., Blacklab, or any other regular hockey poster...

Just wondering what your opinion(s) is/are on this...

Thread title is : Pinnacle Lean explained Last time

Thanks in advance.

 

first we see that jw doesnt pretend to know a lot about hockey betting, but from what ive seen of his other posts he seems pretty knowledgable about fundamentals of betting - which remain pretty much constant thru all sports (ex. no favs, no juice, etc.).

second i think if indeed the book is shading lines IT CAN ONLY HELP having an account there. even if you dont have a play there early in day, its worth checking throughout since - if they opened up a game off others - once they get popped (regardless if its a guy just scalping) you might be able to find some value on the side you like right before game time.

third. unless someone is charting their line moves-to-results its impossible for me to call their numbers "sharp". to me a "sharp" line is one which i cant bet into. regardless of which side/total i like. meaning their number(s) are too close to mine.

fourth. if they are opening some numbers 5-10 cents from everyone else, i give them credit. its a great way to generate some action...

just gazed over it......but from what I see,the author is not a sharp hockey bettor.....Pinny has low juice on every sport,and can get away with this because of sheer volume,not superior lines.....I agree with Bobby that they are a must have for betting ice,and can only favor a sharp player with reduced juice....they also have overnights,which is also a plus,and allows a sharp bettor to tee off on bad lines.....there is a guy in my chat who observes something called OLY stepout plays in college and pro hoops.......his theory is OLY shades their lines from 5 other top books,and the sides they shade towards hit at over 60%.......



if someone has the time,they should try the same thing with pinny and hockey lines.....see which way they shade their lines compared to say----cris,oly,hollywood,jazz,and (rio,skybook).....should be interessting
