My own Pinnacle account or bet through Black?

Wed Feb 19, 2020 6:47 am

I have my own Pinnacle account & Black account.

In case Pinnacle covers a match I'd like to wager in. Could anyone here please tell me the difference between making a bet using my own Pinnacle account & betting through Black.

Which option I should choose.
(Excuse me for my naive question) ;D

Shouldn't be any difference in the odds, as soon as you are referred by arbusers when signing up with BetInAsia. I've noticed people mentioning that slightly lower odds are offered through the Black tool without a referral.

The difference is on the limits, as normally the agents offer half the limits compared to the real pinnacle account. For small markets, the Pinnacle limits are very low and the limits through Black are half, which means you won't have the chance to place the whole amount of your bet through the Black tool without the odds being changed before placing the second same bet.

It depends largely on what you want to bet and the desired limits as mentioned by Giannis89 above but I would say most of the times you should go with Black instead of Pinnacle.

If the no1 criterion is higher limits, then it is advised to use your own Pinnacle account. But, if time is not crucial, you could use Black for a max bet on the highest odds, and then wait until the odds get balanced again to place bet #2,3 etc.

If the no1 criterion is odds, then you should go with Black for 2 reasons:
1st because you are able to bet in various bookmakers at the same time. You never know when another bookmaker offers higher odds than Pinnacle. It is rare, but it happens. 2nd, because you will get the 0.10% cashback from BIA that really makes a difference when even the last tick is needed.

Of course, it is highly advised to compare the prices between your own pinnacle accounts and Black account, and if by any chance you get dual lines, let me know straight away and I will correct it with BIA, provided that your account is indeed referred by arbusers.
