mfly, you'll no doubt get a flood of posts telling you "Pinnacle is as solid as a rock", not to worry.
So don't.
Pinnacle is a good out for many, but for reasons that probably have little to do with "safety only" as a consideration.
Obviously your "safest out" would be a guy who occured no or little risk in taking your bet. A guy who owned the local bar (and sheriff) and only took $100 max bets on sides at -110 would be as SAFE as you could get, you KNOW he's going to pay you.
As books get bigger and take more action, the risk increases. IMO Pinnacle's "business model" of low juice coupled with taking sharp action occurs more risk than your local bar owner taking $100 bets at -110 would occur, or a book taking sides at $500 max -110 would occur, and the posts here probably reflect that feeling too.

Good insight into the safety matter.However, I also like to stress how long they have been in business and thereby can't ever pass up Carib, Royal, and Big book ! I recall the year before last when all my co-workers & myself had the Saints to win the division at 100/1 at Carib ! Of course We won this bet and We all had a Cashiers bet in our homes in 2 days ! Longivety means a lot in this business ! I have a $ 4000. Check from Luckys that I'm keeping as a memo of what kind of newcomers to stay clear of. ! Wanta purchase my $ 4000 check at a really good discount ! LOL
Want to post up with them. Not top ten? Not claiming they are, just wanted your opinion.
Doc- Feel free to post up with them and if you have a problem I will pay you. When I visited there offices 2 weeks ago they had more volume then the other 9 books I visted combined. And volume is what keeps the juice so low. Pinnacle should be at or near the top of anyone's list WHO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE OFFSHORE BIZ
I dont care who says they dont make $ baseball season IT'S JUST NOT TRUE

Thanks. That was truly comforting. I know they are solid and was wondering why no one listed them. I dont begin playing bases until mid May. Was looking for a new out and I know I found 'em. Thanks again.
The 10 Safest Books, are the one's who will have
100% of their players post up $ in an on demand
account, at ALL TIMES, as verified by a major accountancy firm, with very frequent reporting!
Those book who won't/ can't made this grade
will fall a buck short, imo, no matter how long
they've been in business.
Those book who can and will provide players with
the financial transparancy required will go to the super elite imo

I dont see how anyone can say Cris or Olympic is more safe than Canbet, that is totally ridiculous. What if Spiro has an anureysm? and Brett got stiffed from Cris. Costa Rica is full of scam artists, Austrailia is more responsible than America.
Any book that will have 100% of their customers
deposits "on demand" for withdrawal "on demand"
then their book in my opinion, will in my opinion climb to the super elite status, no matter where
their are domiciled.
I would imagine that cheque payouts from the Aussies should take a bit more time than payouts originating from Costa Rica.

What you said about having post up Money in a well audited account is a great idea in a perfect world but so far this is not a reality and the Post is about who We consider to be the safest places to Post up our money in this World.... which is certainly not a perfect world.
Not sure I understood what you were trying to say.
I'm saying that if books go the route I'm suggesting, then in my opinion, they are safer outs to be with.
I'm also saying that before football, a few well-heeled books will go this route.

I am saying that I agree with you 100 % but right now I am not aware of any Books that are doing that.... Do you know of any ? Your suggestion that they also be audited is really the best part of your suggestion. However, right now I am forced to base my opionion on which Books are the safest on the basis of how long they have been doing business without having any complaints !
I don't know of any books that currently provide
for their post up money to put away and subject to auditing.
I do believe there will be some by football.
I also believe there will be a few more "casualties" of offshores before the dust settles.
Books that may elect to provide their customers with verified disposition of their customers most up funds, will have their status elevated to elite.

Macauslot on a weekend of football turns over US$100m.
confirmed by 2 independent sources acw ?? like whom ?? i think you are dreaming.
as others have said here none of the caribean books would compare for safety with the english offshore books ( i had about US$3M to win (in 90 mins of course ) on brazil in the 94 WC with ladbrokes gibraltar and the thought of not getting paid never crossed my mind ).
i also have a credit line for US$0.5M with pinnacle and they have owed me more than that without any worries on my part.
would you be so confident with the other offshore books listed in this thread. /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif
