ABOUT PINNACLE

Operated out of the Dutch Antilles in Curacao, Pinnacle Sports has become one of the top sportsbooks basically since day one in 1998. Definitely one of the only true "international bookmakers" with wagering available on both European and US sports. The website is available in a dozen or more languages and they take bets in a variety of currencies. Pinnacle offers the lowest vig on bets out of any of the top sports betting shops online. US sports bettors love the extra $5 per $100 bet that is saved by playing at this sports book. Lay only 105 instead of the standard 110 on the NFL, NBA and college sports. Horse wagering also offers a 7% rebate making it one top places to bet on horses! Betting is a breeze at this top quality sportbook. Their software is one of the best and the wagering menus are simple and easy to understand. The website is fast and has a clear layout. One minor issue is that all the game start times are listed in PST instead of EST which takes a few visits to get used to. The only drawback with Pinnacle is their telephone betting and customer support. If you make most of your bets by the telephone than you won't be able to take advantage of Pinnacle Sports reduced juice. To keep their online vig down on online wagers they don't offer reduced vig on telephone wagering. If you make your bets from your computer this is an non issue and we can honestly say that they have the best e-mail support in the industry, bar none If you are looking for your first sportsbook to sign up at or don't want the hassle of shopping for the best betting lines then Pinnacle should be your first choice. Big bettors are welcome at Pinnacle with their huge limits on point spread and under/over action, winnings are paid out quickly with no hassles and financially, this book is as solid as they come.

Strong Point: excellent prices
Weak Point: No benefits to telephone bettors
