Module 01 — Overview
pinnodds vs SportsGameOdds
SportsGameOdds covers the major US sportsbooks — FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, Caesars, ESPN BET and others — across NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and college. If you are building a US-facing product that shows several books side by side, that breadth is the point, and it is breadth we do not have.
Two things matter if what you actually want is the Pinnacle line. First, Pinnacle is not among the bookmakers listed on their pricing page. Second, their free tier updates on a 10-minute frequency — fine for a scoreboard, not for anything that reacts to a price move.
pinnodds does one book properly: Pinnacle, live and prematch, pushed in roughly 30–150 ms with drop detection built in. Different products, genuinely different jobs.

Module 03 — Straight answer
When SportsGameOdds is the better choice
Pick SportsGameOdds if you need several US books in one call, player props across those books, or a consensus line. That is what they are built for and we do not compete with it — we carry one book.
Pick pinnodds if you want the Pinnacle line specifically, delivered as it changes rather than when you next ask, with dropping-odds detection already done for you. Start on the free key and measure it against whatever you are using now — that is a faster answer than any comparison table, including this one.
