I can't believe I am feeling this way
 

I don't even want to wager right now. Seriously, this Pinnacle thing, isn't good.

yeah as if just hitting the bets and making a profit wasnt hard enough......now we got this challenge against us

There was big money behind this. I wouldn't be surprised to see the whole deal legalized and licenses being granted to a select few. What it really comes down to is lining the pockets of politicians. That's too much money for these guys to leave on the table.

Now the return of rebates? Dream on.

What is it that made Pinnacle the ONLY sportsbook that race bettors acknowledge? Beats me. CRIS and TheGreek were doing big business before Pinnacle came along, and never showed the slightest sign of financial weakness during Pinnacle's reign at the top.

How can you call the "return of rebates" a dream when CRIS is and has been offering rebates that are better than Pinnacle's on exotics? Anyone who is savvy enough to have been using Pinnacle only needs to be a wee bit savvier to realize that 5Dimes's 10% payoff bonus is a better deal on win bets and exotics than a 7% rebate.

I'll miss Pinnacle's futures and matchups much more than the 7%. But it's not the end of the world.

I think something else (a new shop catering to more than just whales) will pop up and basically take the place of Pinnacle. I don't think rebates are going away. Too many big bettors would just walk away from the game if they did.

I'm talking 6 months from now when the 270 days are up. I highly doubt these offshore sites will allow IPs from the U.S. If you're going to use proxies more power to you.

I'll be damned if I get froggy and risk getting fed time.
