I've read Bodog deals two lines, one to the "pro" betters and one to the casual (square?) betters. I seem to have one that's always different from the one posted here in live lines. A lot of the times my line is a half point lower, like in the Kentucky game. Right now, as it was for the past 12 hours or so , I have Kentucky at 4 -115, while it's been showing up here at 4.5 -105 . Since I get dealt the lower line , am I considered the sucker betting public? I don't bet alot in sports, mostly there for poker

Don't play at BoDog is my advice. Extremely late in posting lines, including HT lines. Reason for this is to find out where the money is going and then adjust. So the bettor is never betting into an opening line.

WHy is BODOG one of the books that I can win at consistently though?? I dont understand it myself. I took a payout of $8,000 2 weeks ago and it only took 2 days until it was in my bank account

If you're good, you can win with ANY book. Say what you like about Bodog, but THEY DO PAY!!!! that's the most important thing, imo. does you no good to pound soft lines, if you're getting "no payed, slow payed".

I should say this though. 80% of my plays are on underdogs and most of those are parlays involving the underdog moneylines parlayed together.

Although, I should say that tonight, I POUNDED KEntucky tonight. It will be a close game though.

My main underdog play of the day is the WASHINGTON WIZARDS tonight on the moneyline which were parlayed with Michigan State

the r/s "live lines" has the square lines feed from bodog. if you see a different line when you log in...you are not getting the square line.

Those lines are roughly equal. I'd prefer the -4.5 -105 but not by much. Some of the lines are off way more than that. It doesn't take much to get the sharp line there. I'll sell a half for ten cents.

Bodog...............

I recieved a PostCard from BODOG & it said deposit $100..get $100 Free. So I sinded Up & made my deposit. Sure enough my $100 Bonus was added! Within 2 Days my RollOver had been met. After 4 Days I was Up $1260, and called to make a withdrawal of $1000 earlier today. They told me my original deposit made by check by phone still hadn't cleared, but should by Monday, b/c that would be The 7th Day, and my $1000 would be deposited into my bank account no later than Tuesday. Then tonight(Friday) I dropped $600 on NC -10.5 & Lost.........now I have a requested withdrawal of $1000, but only have $600 left in my account! Bad $$$-Management, I know, but This was my BS Account & I was totally playing with The Book's Money!
Now, I'm going to try to get it back to $1000 Tomorrow(Saturday) Playing $200 on ILL & $200 on TCU! I wonder what happens now, of I don't have $1000 in my account on Monday or Tuesday...Damn I wish they would have atleast put The $1000 Requested withdrawal in a Hold Account or something!

BODOG....Great Bonuses...Great Customer Service!
BUT....No OverNight Lines...Limited Lines...Limited Parlays allowed..No 1st Half or 2nd Half Parlays allowed....!

OVERALL----DON'T LIKE BODOG Very MUCH....!

The BoDog "sharp" line isn't given to only professionals; more accurately it's given to anyone with a pulse. I placed a handful of realtively small bets (no more than a couple hundred each) there when I first signed up and was switched to the "sharp" line within days. The bets I placed weren't even particularly sharp; they were simply on underdogs where BoDog's lines were pretty good relative to the market.

It seems to me some Books are running different spreads on the same game and you may be given the one that suits them at the time.

If you play internet poker at the limits offered on Bodog's and you don't play there you are a fool!!! The sportsbook may only attract squares but so does the poker room. The play at any limit is significantly weaker than other site. This is not an opinion it is a fact.
