What is a Limit Change Alert?
Limit Change alerts notify you whenever Pinnacle adjusts the maximum stake they'll accept for a particular betting market. You get alerted when the limits move up or down by a percentage you specify in your filter settings.
How Can I Use Limit Change Alerts?
1. Gauge Market Efficiency
- A significant limit increase suggests more money is coming in from sharper bettors
- Higher limits signal the market is getting more efficient as Pinnacle grows more confident in the price
Opportunities
- Provides insight into which markets are attracting the most action from sharp players
- Can help decide if there's value tailing or fading the line move
Challenges
- Doesn't tell you which side sharp money is on, just that big money is being bet
- Limit increases alone don't guarantee a profitable betting opportunity
2. Spot Pricing Uncertainty
- A large limit decrease could indicate Pinnacle is uncertain about the current price
- May provide a contrarian betting opportunity if you have a strong opposing view
Opportunities
- Quickly identify markets where Pinnacle's confidence is wavering
- Potential to capitalize on their uncertainty if you have solid contradictory information
Challenges
- Pinnacle limit decreases are relatively rare and can be very short-lived
- Need fast access to other information to determine if a contrarian play is +EV

Summary
