The majority are staked at the start of the round before the cards have been dealt alongside regular bets and many have fixed odds that usually offer greater payouts than the simple 2:1 rewarded for beating the dealer.Play Blackjack at Pinnacle Casino

Poisson Distribution is a mathematical concept for translating mean averages into a probability for variable outcomes across a distribution.

We have a team of editors and writers at Pinnacle, as well as a collection of external contributors, ranging from university lecturers and renowned authors, to ex-traders and esteemed sports experts. Collectively, the Pinnacle team and external contributors produce the educational content within Betting Resources.

Whether you are new to Pinnacle or a seasoned bettor, we are always keen to help you get the most out of your betting experience. As such, you can choose between three different website views while you bet with Pinnacle. Each one is suitable for audiences looking to gain different things from their visits to the site.

<h3>Classic View</h3>

<img alt="in-article-classic.jpg" height="231" src="/sites/default/files/media-image/in-article-classic.jpg" width="700" loading="lazy">

For customers outside the European Union who want a more traditional approach to their betting, Pinnacle presents the Classic View. This offers quick links to what our bettors want most: parlays (multiples), teasers (fixed-return accumulators), Premier League betting, casino, live casino and quick and easy deposits. Your Pinnacle account is the first thing you will see at the top of the page, followed by ‘Popular Markets.’

<blockquote>If simplicity is what you are after, Classic View is the option for you.</blockquote>

Further exploration of the Classic View will lead you to the ‘Closing Soon’ section, a useful function that lets you know which matches are coming up before their lines close. After entering a market, you will have the chance to return to the Betting Menu at any point, where all of Pinnacle’s main sports will be just one click away.

Once you have chosen your market, you can ‘Update Odds’ at any time instead of waiting for the automatic update every 30 seconds. When you have decided your selection, click ‘Submit Bets’ or you can choose to parlay a league.

If simplicity is what you are after, Classic View is the option for you.

<h3>Asian View</h3>

<img alt="in-article-asian.jpg" height="231" src="/sites/default/files/media-image/in-article-asian.jpg" width="700" loading="lazy">

For those based in Asia or professional bettors looking for more of a tailored approach, Pinnacle offers the Asian View. This is available to customers both in and outside the European Union. It offers instant access to outrights, casino, live casino, cashier and teasers at the top of the page. There is also a dedicated Bet Slip on the left-hand side.

The benefits of the Asian View are plentiful for bettors who require detail and close analysis. Indeed, all markets are on one page and smaller text allows for more matches to be listed, letting you see all the odds you need at once. You can choose a specific date or a variety, while choosing between a simple line, single line, or double/multiple lines.

Like the Classic View, a big plus for bettors is that the Asian View allows you to refresh odds at any time. These are also automatically updated every 75 seconds. However, unique to the Asian View is the ability to refresh the odds of a specific market rather than the whole page, saving time for time-sensitive decisions.

Once a bet is placed, it goes straight to your Bet Slip, with bettors given the option to ‘Bet Maximum’ or always accept better lines.

<h3>Beta View</h3>

<img alt="in-article-beta.jpg" height="231" src="/sites/default/files/media-image/in-article-beta.jpg" width="700" loading="lazy">

If bettors are looking for something different, Pinnacle has most recently developed our Beta View. This is available both in and outside the European Union. With a simple login, easier navigation and faster performance, it is perfect for recreational bettors and offers all Pinnacle visitors an enhanced user experience. Placing a bet is easier than ever with a streamlined betting menu, while the live betting page now loads significantly faster.

The Beta View quick links once again offer you the opportunity to jump straight to the casino or the live casino. However, here you also have the option to visit eSports – one of Pinnacle’s biggest markets – and <a href="/betting-resources/en/educational/introducing-betting-resources/">Betting Resources</a>, our dedicated content section created to empower bettors and help them make informed decisions.

A very modernised alternative, the Beta View features a Bet Slip on the right-hand side, allowing a bettor to easily switch between singles and multiples. Just as easy is the function to switch between American and Decimal odds, as well as the live filter and links to different leagues at the top of a page.

Further benefits are the ability to look at lines in ‘normal’ mode or through ‘time,’ which orders matches chronologically. Additionally, you can see your Account History and Open Bets, choosing whether you want to accept better odds. The Beta View offers teasers, while it is very easy to select your sport at the top of the page.

Indeed, using Beta View is now more seamless than ever, with all available markets in one place. Whether you want Main Markets, Team Totals or Futures, simply select the sport you want to bet on and the market will be there.

Now that you know the benefits of Pinnacle’s three different views, why not <a href="https://www.pinnacle.com">log in</a> and see which one works for you?
