Who are Pinnacle?
Pinnacle is an online gambling website formed in 1998. It is known for having the sharpest odds on the market.
Pinnacle’s Business Model
Pinnacle is known to be the sharpest bookmaker in the world because of its winner’s welcome policy which attracts the sharpest bettors in the world. Having these sharp bettors bet on their platform allows them to price their odds more accurately than any other bookmaker.
Pinnacle has the ‘Price to Beat’
Pinnacle is so sharp that if we subtract their vig (built in margin) from their odds then we will be able to use that as our ‘price to beat’
If we are offered odds that pay out more than Pinnacle’s no vig price then we should take them as they are mathematically profitable in the long term.
Luckily POD subtracts the vig for you on every market so that you don’t have to waste time doing the maths. (How to Automatically De-Vig Pinnacle's Odds)

Will Pinnacle Stay Sharp?
If Pinnacle stops being sharp they will quickly go bankrupt because they have a policy against limiting winning players so it is life or death for them.
The fact that they have survived from 1998 until now when all other competitors have dropped off shows that they have a rock-solid system.
With little competition about and with their decades of expertise, I highly doubt we will be seeing the end of Pinnacle anytime soon.
How to Use Pinnacle’s Odds to Make Money
Because Pinnacle is so sharp most other bookmakers don’t bother trying to come up with their own odds they just copy Pinnacle!
That means when Pinnacle’s odds go up so does everybody else’s and when Pinnacle’s odds go down every other bookmaker’s odds also go down.
But on a delay…
Whilst bookmakers indeed copy Pinnacle it’s also true that they do it on a delay. It usually takes between 20 seconds to three minutes for the soft bookmaker to react which gives us time to place a value bet at the old odds. This is the foundation of the Pinnacle Dropping Odds strategy.
To take advantage of the delay you need to be alerted about a drop in Pinnacle’s odds, that’s where our dropping odds alerts come in. POD provides real-time alerts on thousands of Pinnacle’s markets so that you can be the first to know about a drop which allows you to catch value bets that nobody else can.

Here are three alerts that I used to place value bets at the slow moving Bet365:
Summary
- Pinnacle were established in 1998 and are regarded as the sharpest bookmaker in the world.
- Pinnacle are able to stay sharp because they attract the sharpest syndicates and players in the world thanks to their winner’s welcome policy.
- POD subtracts Pinnacle’s small vig to come to an estimate of ‘true odds’ which is used as the price to beat.
- Pinnacle have shown no signs of losing their sharpness and their longstanding market dominance is a testament to their pricing expertise.
- We can make money off soft bookmakers by waiting for Pinnacle to drop their odds and placing a bet at a slower moving bookmaker who hasn’t adjusted to the market drop quick enough.
