Analyze Pinnacle Markets
Bet2Invest is not only a platform to follow Experts — it can also be used as a market analysis tool.
One of the most powerful use cases is analysing Pinnacle markets, because Pinnacle is widely considered the sharpest and most efficient pricing reference in sports betting.
Bet2Invest is one of the very few platforms offering a true, real‑time (non‑delayed) Pinnacle API experience for market analysis. Most of the core analysis features described below are free.
Explore Pinnacle like a bookmaker interface
On Bet2Invest, you get an interface similar to bookmakers where you can browse:
Every sport
Every league / competition
Every matchup
Every market type
This is designed to let you analyse the market the same way you would place a bet, but with extra analytical layers that are usually not available on bookmaker websites.
If you want a hands-on guide at the event level, see How to Analyze Pinnacle Odds on Event Markets.
What you can analyse on each market
For each market price, Bet2Invest lets you see key data points such as:
Current odds
Opening odds
Odds evolution (movement over time)
Bookmaker margin
Implied probabilities
In addition, you can compare the market to what the community is thinking using the:
B2I tips distribution – an aggregated view of what tipsters on Bet2Invest are picking on that market.
This combination (sharp odds + line movement + margin + implied probabilities + tipster distribution) is what allows you to think in terms of pricing and expected value, not just “teams” and “predictions”.
Turn market analysis into a tracked strategy (by placing bets)
Market analysis becomes much more valuable when you can measure your decisions over time.
On Bet2Invest, you can simulate real betting conditions by placing bets inside a:
Public bankroll (visible to others), or
Private bankroll (visible only to you)
See What's a Bankroll?.
Once you place a bet in a bankroll, you can access advanced metrics such as:
Closing odds
CLV (Closing Line Value)
CLEV (CLV without the bookmaker margin)
Market margin at bet time vs at close
Automatic settling using real Pinnacle grading rules
To understand why CLV/CLEV are central metrics on Bet2Invest, see Why CLV & CLEV Matter.
Build strategies from Pinnacle data
With all this market history and performance data, you can create strategies based on:
Line movement patterns
Market types (main lines vs derivatives)
Margins (where the bookmaker edge is highest/lowest)
Timing (opening vs mid‑week vs close vs live)
Your own long‑term CLV/CLEV
This is the foundation of a data‑driven approach: you are not only asking “did I win?”, but also “did I beat the market consistently?”.
To learn how to read performance properly, see How to Analyse Bankrolls?.
Markets available on Bet2Invest
Bet2Invest is built to analyse all Pinnacle markets, not only the most common ones.
You can analyse, among others:
Prematch markets
Live markets
Futures
Corners
Bookings / cards
…and many more. In practice, every market available on Pinnacle is intended to be available on Bet2Invest.
Odds integrity: you can’t “fake” prices
A key part of market analysis is knowing the odds history is trustworthy.
On Bet2Invest, odds are verified at the moment you place a bet using Pinnacle’s data, which prevents users from manually entering unrealistic prices.
If market odds could be edited, performance metrics would become meaningless. Bet2Invest prevents this by certifying odds at bet time.
Next step
If you want to go deeper, start by creating a private bankroll and tracking a simple, consistent approach with fixed stakes (units).
