i noticed that my limits seemed to be lower this week - it appears they have been cut in half.

anyone else have this happen to them? and if so, have you heard why this is happening?

it seems bizarre & counter-intuitive to the traditional pinnacle business model that they have operated under for a long time...

pinnacle was supposed to be the one place that took on all players, including sharps.........

    Across the board?

    They've been raising vig, and changing limits a lot lately but haven't seen anything like that.

    I'd ask them, could be an error with all the work they were doing on site yesterday.

    Curious why you would have an agent instead of going straight thru the book?

    agents can give whatever limits they want. get a postup account.

    All I noticed is raised vigorish in some markets, which alone is a surprising move. It can signal that their glory days are behind them.

    doesn't work that way. a pinnacle agent isn't incentivized to cut limits when they are compensated on volume (which is how the pinnacle credit operation works). you feel me?

    do you live in the states? i see in your bio it says "chicagoland". how exactly are you going "straight thru the book?"

    I don't know, I've seen credit accounts with way less limits on certain stuff than standard post up.

    I don't have an account at pinny. I guess it's more of a generalized question....If you have an agent, you still wagering at pinnacle.com ? Is this their way around the no US customers? Or does pinny just have a bunch of skins that the bets go through?

    This is not the sort of thing that should be discussed on a public forum.

    To the OP, are you sure you didn't previously have double limits and your limits were just cut to normal limits?

    hey lake,

    After being a postup player for the longest time I changed to a credit account this season through a connected guy here in CR. The same limits cut you are talking about were also applied to my account for all sports. Only good news is that the vig jumps on limit bets are also reduced (4c or 8c vs the usual 8c to 16c depending on market) . Apparently this is something Pinnacle said they would do for the last few months. I am looking at alternatives right now with my guy to find best solution.

    I logged into my old postup account using different IP and my limits were the same full ones.

    Weird. They upped all soccer post up limits by 50% a couple of months ago.

    They also upped most international basketball league limits by a decent amount, but raised the vig on all of them. Lots of -110/-110 markets there now, never thought I'd see that.

    Pinnacle is one of my major bookmakers. I know that it's friendly to arbers and I have never faced such a problem as limits cutting in this bookie.
