Frank, I wish I knew that before I signed up, I understand not putting them up Sunday night or even Monday, but Tuesday afternoon, they should be up. Normally its not a problem but I am traveling this week and wont have a computer for 7 days, would like to bet before I go, Phone betting is torture now-a-days unless you are calling Grande!

Joey, this is a posting forum, that BoDOg advetises at, I figured that they would want to hear what the players want, you call it complaining, I call it constructive criticsm. I didnt know this before I signed up, I just assumed that everyone would have lines by Tuesday afternoon, I like the book so far, just voicing my opion!
Response from Bodog:
Nothing you guys don't already know I am sure-
We post lines late on purpose. The earlier a line is posted, the more it
moves, and the more it moves, the more risk for the House. By posting lines
late, we reduce risk and also cut down on syndicate wagering, both of which
strengthen our bottom line and allow us to safely offer the high bonuses
that we do.
We realize that this costs us some business, but as 90%+ of football action
comes in the 48 hours before kickoff and over 75% of baseball/basketball
betting in the last couple of hours before a game starts, we feel the
tradeoff is a good one. I readily admit that if getting early lines is a
key factor in a bettor's choice of a book, there are a lot of better spots
out there. However, if you want a reliable shop with great Customer Service
and an aggressive bonus offer, we are the book for you.
Thanks,
Rob

Rob, thanks for the response, its good to see a book answer in these forums. I used to think the same way you did about lines moving to far, or syndicate betting early in the week, but that is completely false. Except for Sunday night openers and maybe some moves on Monday, about 90% of syndicate money comes in on game day and many times its againsts the steam from early in the week, limits are higher in almost all shops on gameday and also late info becomes a factor, by opening up later than other books, you arent really avoidint the true steam which comes on gameday, take care and I look forward to the rest of the football season at BoDog!
