Pinnacle expresses their lines as a multiple , BM posts so you see what the juice is. ie (- 1.20 ) Is there a simple formula for converting Pinnacles lines so I can understand it . They do have better lines for what I need . Thanks

    I don't understand your question. Pinnacle also posts their lines so you can see what the juice is. Are you confused by their use of decimal odds vs BM's use of American odds? There's an option at the top left of the screen with a pulldown menu to change the odds from decimal to American.

    take (line -1)

    if >= 1 , then +(line - 1)
    if < 1, then -(1/(line - 1))

    1.43 would be -(1/1.43 - 1) = -2.33
    2.43 would be (2.43 - 1 ) = +1.43
