THE PINNACLE LINE

Questions

Straight answers, including how this site is funded

What is The Pinnacle Line?

A free, public sports betting education project. It covers MLB, NBA, NCAAB, NCAAF and NFL, and shares one bettor's plays, the full record, a bet tracker, calculators and lessons so you can judge the process for yourself.

Do you sell picks or charge for anything?

No. Everything on this site is free. There are no paid plans, and this site takes no bets and handles no money.

How does this site make money?

It does not sell anything. The Tools tab lists apps we use, and some of those links are referral or invite links. If you sign up through one, we may receive a reward or credit. You do not need any of them to use this site or follow the plays. Some of those apps may have paid plans, so check each one.

Where do the plays post?

In the Discord plays channel first, with a price limit on every play. The Plays tab on this site shows what has been posted. Nothing here is a guarantee.

What is a unit?

One unit (1u) is 1% of your own bankroll. We post size in units and never in dollars, so the same play fits any bankroll. Most plays are 0.5u to 1.5u.

How is the record kept?

Every bet goes in the record at the price we took, wins and losses alike, in units. Nothing is removed. You can see all of it on the Record tab and download every bet as a spreadsheet.

What is closing line value, and why does it matter?

The closing line is the last price before the game starts. If we got a better price than the close, that bet beat the close. One week of results is mostly luck, so we judge the process by closing line value over 100 or more bets. Beating the close is not a guarantee of profit.

Can I just copy the plays?

Each play carries a worst acceptable price. If you cannot get that price or better, pass. Plays are one bettor's picks shared for education. Bet only what you can afford to lose.

Is my data stored?

Bets you log in the My bets tab are saved only in your own browser. We cannot see them. We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics.

How do I contact you?

Email info@thepinnacleline.com. Plays and results post in Discord first, so questions about a specific play are best asked there.

Where can I get help?

If betting stops feeling like a choice, call 1-800-GAMBLER. It is free and confidential. You must be of legal age, and betting must be legal where you live.
