Pinnacle issues
Completely locked out of the 7th from Keeneland. With 15 minites to post, it said the race was "off". Tried re-logging in 4 times. Same old story. Could only bet the 8th. Like the rebate but sometimes it just isn't worth it.

I've got a Brisbet account, although I haven't used it in a while. Yeah, that is my fault. But it still isn't the point; if you're the biggest sports and racing offshore in the world, you aren't supposed to have these repeated software gliches. This is the 3rd time in the past month I've had it happen; THe Illnois and Arkansas Derbys and the Kee stake today. Inexcusable.

Yes, but - Maybe it's not a software glitch.

I saw that it said "off", but I just entered the bet anyway and it was accepted...unfortunately.

I was at a friends place a few days ago in Canada, and he has betfair.com I couldn't believe how he could bet until they were a few feet out of the gate.
I wish we had it in the USA, nothing compares to this!

Pinnacle Issues
I have been with Pinnacle for almost 2 yrs now, I never experienced any problems. I have made bets as close as 2 min to post.

I'm not so sure the ability to bet as "late" as 2 mtp is a thing to brag about, especially at lower class tracks.

Don't forget you could always call it in to Pinny. $100 minimum total for the call.

CJ-
Interesting that you were able to get the bet in when it said "off". I've never been able to do that, even when it locks out real early (10-20 minutes before post time).
They did save me some $$ by passing the Ill. & Arky Derbies but cost me this time. The two "Gold" horses were great value plays in that turf sprint. I would've missed the P4 so that didn't matter. And I wasn't about to phone in 32 P4 tickets at $100/ticket. Its not that the entire bet has to be $100. EACH BET must be at least $100.

thanks for the note Roamin,
I just started using Pinnacle and have been able to bet near '..loading into gate..', yes, under two MTP. However, there was one race that had the wrong odds under the bet number but I copied the screen to report later after making my bet. The bet paid the correct track odds instead of the inflated values on the bet screen. I knew the odds were wrong because I have WinTicket (AmeriTab) in another window for exacta and win odds.
------------------------------
aaah, say CJ,
how did you know Roamin bet at '..lower class tracks..'?
I did not see that he was '..BRAGGIN..' and am glad he took the time to share his experience. I was really puzzled by your reference to '..low class..' tracks, as if, getting paid for a good bet has more validity at a '..higher class...' track.
Do you have a special form of telepathy?
Awol

My point about lower class tracks has nothing to do with getting paid, it has to do with having very little clue what the odds will be at off time as compared to 2 mtp. You can get a pretty good gauge at the major tracks, but at a place like Tdn or CT, this isn't the case. If you don't care what your final odds will be, then by all means bet at 2mtp.

Another thing about Pinnacle I've noticed re: the odds. Sometimes you'll see correct up to minute odds, sometimes they just leave the morning line odds, even with 2 minutes to post. Don't make a bet based on the odds Pinny is showing.
