Gumiho vs Skyhigh. Nitrogen has -127/+102. Pinnacle has -123/+105
Innovation vs Stats, Nitrogen has -147/+118. Pinnacle has -142/+121
You see the pattern? Copying pinnacle prices and adding extra vig.
Anyone considering using Nitrogen with Pinnacle access - take a look at the difference in vig first. The higher vig would literally kill my 3-5%ish ROI on esports which I would imagine already puts me in the top couple % of esports bettors. As it stands 8 point pinny vig sucks enough given they do -105 on most sports but thats the price we pay for not very sharp lines.
Cashouts are also quick on pinnacle (pretty much instant then a day or two for a bank to process
If you come here to shill your BTC book i'll counter with make it lower vig than pinnacle and you have something i'll use. Until then, gtfo.
Also, the esports lines are not sharp in SC2. No idea about LoL but I doubt it.
Hey pal, not shilling anything...like I said its only for specialized things.
1st of all, I have no access to Pinnacle, being American. So obviously that cuts out a lot of your argument. That's basically the main draw for using bitcoins, and nitrogen is just the best bitcoin sports site (seals being the best poker site).
But anyways, yes its higher juice on those specific bets you mentioned. So it might only be useful for a huge tournament like I mentioned, such as The International. The juice was very low on that as I recall, -105/-105. Even if you're only betting large events, its still always good to have another place to bet money on +EV plays.
