Dropping odds
Prices shortening at Pinnacle, the sharpest book in the market, refreshed every minute. A drop means money came for that side; the bookmakers that have not moved yet are where the value sits.

How to read the board
Pinnacle open is the first price Pinnacle offered, Pinnacle now is its current price, and Drop is the percentage the price shortened over the window you picked. Since opening shows the full move; the 12, 24 and 48 hour windows show what happened recently, which is where the fresh information is.
Turning a drop into a bet
A shortening price at Pinnacle is a lead indicator. Recreational bookmakers follow with a delay, so for a short while they price the same outcome above the market. Open the match in Match View to compare every bookmaker against the exchange and see the rating on each price. For what a drop actually signals, and why chasing every one of them is not a long-term plan, read the Dropping Odds guide.
Frequently asked questions
- What are dropping odds?
- Dropping odds are prices that have shortened since the market opened. A price shortens when bookmakers take money on that side, so a sharp drop usually means informed money has arrived before the recreational books have adjusted.
- Which bookmaker is the reference?
- Pinnacle. It is the highest-limit bookmaker in the market, runs the tightest margins and welcomes professional stakes, so its price moves lead the market. Every drop on the board is a move in Pinnacle's line.
- How do I use dropping odds with matched betting?
- When a sharp price drops, bookmakers that have not moved yet are briefly offering a price above the market. Open the match in Match View to compare every bookmaker against the exchange and lock the difference in.
