Hi Pierluigi,

I have posted two player reviews on Pinnacle, and I would greatly appreciate your thoughts/comments/answers.

Thank you,

Personally I think Pinnacle will be OK, but at this time it would irresponsible to maintain Pinnacle's top rating unchanged, hence the rating suspension.

In the coming months we'll see whether the US market was very important for Pinnacle or if they can survive without it (and without the sharp punters defining their odds).

Why can't they simply let successful non-US punters define their odds ? They must know who is winning - even if they are happy to allow them to bet.

I suppose that non-US punters are not that relevant when it comes to US sports.

And when it comes to other sports like soccer, most professional punters I know they use Pinnacle odds as a reference, but ultimately place their bets somewhere else.
