Sports gaming Web site www.planetpinnacle.com is pleased to announce that they will offer clients an 8-cent baseball line throughout the 2001 season. Planetpinnacle is the Internet division of Pinnacle Sports Worldwide.
Marketing Director Tex Cooper says "This is a natural fit for planetpinnacle.com. We offer people the chance to lay –105
on NBA sides and on the NFL. Our ten-cent hockey lines are a huge hit and our half juice on soccer is creating interest all
over Europe. We wanted to do something special for baseball that fits in with our philosophy of cutting vig wherever possible."
When much of the industry actually moved to increase the juice built into baseball lines last year, Pinnacle Sports stayed with
a dime line. They are confident about working with even thinner margins online this year. "Clients who call our toll-free number
can still count on a ten-cent line over the phone", says Cooper, "but there’s less overhead for us operating online. We want to
share the savings with our customers. So when they play the favourite they’ll risk less, and when they bet the dog they’ll stand
to win more."
The 8-cent line doesn’t break until –155 and planetpinnacle.com will then go to a dime line until –195. "We have
built our business by giving our clients solid value, prompt payouts, and unrivalled customer service. This is a further step in that
direction", added Cooper.
Pinnacle Sports is licenced in the UK and in the Netherlands Antilles to accept wagers from around the globe.
