Today, we have an impossible mission to beat the bookmakers. If in the past that would be complicated, today it's near to be impossible. Why? Let's talk about it!
In my view of the facts, the problem of Sports Betting is all about money! Yes, for me, it's all about money! There is no "money in the bank" for the bookmakers. There is no more liquidity in the sports betting market as we have become accustomed to seeing!
The problem is all about the missing dollars; there are no dollars available, and nobody wants to invest in Sports Betting. Bookmakers like Pinnacle Sports have struggled to provide more liquidity for their customers these days!
The Steam Chasers have big problems to solve because some changes in the market are false; the low liquidity makes us believe in false/true movements. So the steam chasers have a lot of struggle to see the ground of money that is available in the markets.
What does Pinnacle Sports do?
Do they put more liquidity on that? Simply put, they put the money on the fair markets and take it from the leagues with lower interests. Of course, that puts more liquidity on the Premier League, for example, which is a false sense for us gamblers. Because we can't forget that Pinny in EPL is very efficient!
The war is not over between gamblers and bookmakers, but today we can see big problems for the first time for big bookmakers, for example.
The problem of lower money (dollars) makes it a struggle for bookmakers to provide a good variety of liquidity in most markets and leagues!
Now let's understand what the problem with the dollar is!
The Federal Reserve Bank of the United States is paying 4.4% for 10 years of public debt. Now we can see that investors are putting money into this type of investment, the same as gold, for example. Sports Betting is no longer attractive for more investments, for example, syndicates or big sharks!
I can give you advice, please see the content: "Brent Johnson explains his Dollar Milkshake Theory" – Google it or watch it on YouTube!
The problem is that simple; there is "no money in the bank," and this is a lot of struggle for us gamblers and big sharks. Seeing Pinnacle Sports make drastic changes because of this is, for me, a realistic problem that happened these days, with no more dollars available to invest!

Will This Pass?
I believe that the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States is closer to making some moves. The war with Ukraine and Russia and the chip problems in Taiwan are putting more struggle on this matter! I believe when the USA can make its own chips on American soil, we can see the world change! The yen is very unstable because of Russia, of course! I think we can expect another 3 to 5 years to see this change for the next move of the banking system and the economy of the United States!
So the future is very difficult for us; we can only operate and invest in very efficient leagues, which gives us a lot of headaches.
This is not a true scientific article, but it is my perception of what is happening these days in Sports Betting. I hope you enjoy it and it helps you in the sports betting industry!
Good Luck!
