Very few if any books have those type accounts even the ones that say they do.....i wouldnt let it bother me anymore than i already would be when your dealing with a book that doesnt want winners, puts up awful lines late, double deals lines, spends extravagant amounts of money on parties, advertising and backs some of the worst musical acts on the planet..(anybody thinks that iranian girl has a musical career ahead of her is an idiot)
The real problem is a mod there, David,lost some money in the casinoand sais\d he felt there was something fishy going on at the casino. He couldn't prove anything, and I posted a warning to him that he should watch what he says if he couldn't produce proof! I have played at their casino numerous times, and I can guarantee you I am up money! I've hit every single bonus in Double Double Bonus including the Royal!
BoDog is not really a sportsbook. If you have a clue you're tossed. Losers only are allowed to place wagers.
Las Vegas Advisors are high up on the respectability chart. If they refuse to take ad $ from BoDog because they are unable or unwilling to show proof that players funds are available, it gives even more reason not to send money to BoDog.

One of the rare times I disagree with Simms but this sounds pretty weak to me. A mod at another site appears to be angry he lost in the casino. After he loses then he claims a friend told him they were using a Ponzi scheme to operate from? Because of that he has pulled the advertising and is forced to warn everyone? Where was all the inside information about BoDog at before you lost your money? Let me guess, right after the loss a pal gave you inside information and it's your duty to warn everyone about BoDog now? Newsflash, you aren't a favorite in 99.97% of all online casino confrontations. To even think one person playing can tell if a casino is rigged or not seems silly to me. Hell they don't need to rig anything, low cost of operating and a built in edge, why would they have to cheat?
Now it looks like Dave is over there saying they will return to "preferred" status once they prove to him the games are fair? LOL. I like that place but this seems out of character to me. Didn't Roberto say the Pinnacle casino cheated him recently too? Mail the check Bodog so we can move on, I'm sure once the players loses are recouped that will prove all is safe again, LOL. BTW this was all about the casino, not the sportsbook. Everything written abut BoDog on the dual lines and so on is true, I don't like it either, but I seriously doubt they are having money problems. No way of knowing for sure so admittedly just my opinion, take it for what's it worth.

I had it was rumor in my title. Considering Fezzik is a regular here, I thought it was an interesting thread on the site and wanted everyone to know. From a Mods thread at LVA,
Bagiant's feedback is good. I like to hear that, and I'm glad you've had good experiences there.
There is no way for a single person, or even a handful of people, to prove an online casino is cheating. You'd have to have many people with recorded hands and compile that data. You'd have to have millions of hands of data recorded and analyzed to have any type of statistical relevance. In reality, you'd also need to have millions of hands at a certain $ amount as well. Maybe if you bet $2 a hand it's fair, but if you bet $200 a hand it's not fair. In other words, proving cheating is next-to-impossible.
I don't know that Bodog has any solvency issues, and my guess is that if you have a balance there it is probably safe. From what I've heard their business model does not set aside an account that can cover player deposits in the event that everyone withdrew. In my opinion, their model is not as safe as one where the accounts are set aside.
A lot of places went bust in the dot-com bubble era, and much of the time, the reason was advertising spending. It's easy to burn through a lot of dough buying ads.
I didn't know until now that Shackelford did consulting for RTG software. In the past, there have been some RTG casinos that had very bad reputations. If I'm not mistaken it was the group that included TwinAces and GoldenComps or something like that.
Really, this is more of an ear-to-ground type warning. I don't feel confident in Bodog right now, and I won't gamble there myself. We won't accept any affiliate or advertising payments from them, since we don't want to do business with anyone where there is suspicion.
This can change. Ifwe are shown, by Bodog or anyone else, that its games are fair and that it's financially responsible, then we'll put 'em back in a preferred status once again.
Why does this site get their panties in a bunch when a top advertiser is put on the "hot seat?"
Understandably they pay some top $$$ to be here. But bodogs owneer did some pretty shady shit if I recall, and BOS stiffed a player for over $500K. but when they are exposed, titles are changed, and it starts a war? what happen to freedom of speech?
I feel safe at Bodog, but why get all snippy when someone post something that may or may not be true.:cryingcry
