pinnacle kept rejecting my stake but accepted tiny amount at same price
been running into this weird thing lately - tried placing a mid-sized bet, but it just kept getting declined, saying not available. out of curiosity, i lowered the stake to almost nothing and it actually took it right away, still at the same odds. not talking huge amounts here, just way less than my usual.
anyone else run into this when betting certain lines? is it just down to limits being set algorithmically or is there something else going on? i’ve seen it a few times now, usually on less popular markets. curious if you just back off when this happens, or is it ever worth splitting bets into small chunks to get more down?

Nah, it’s not always some evil conspiracy... But yesss, on softer/less popular markets this is basically a limit check dressed up as “not available.” Same price means nothing if the book only wants to expose, like, $27 on that exact line right then. I’ve had this crap happen on player props and weird lower-league totals sooo many times lately it’s gotten old FAST. My blunt take: don’t keep slicing it into tiny chunks unless you like telling the risk team exactly what you’re trying to do lolll. One or two tries, fine. After that I back off. In-play is even worse for this, same nonsense just quicker. Patience beats poking the bear, and that’s just foresight.
