BODOG-Why would anyone bet here?!

DimeByDesign · Feb 7, 2007

I deposited a couple hundy in the account to try it out. Then I realized there line suck!! In hoops, some lines are more then a point more then other places. Aslo, they have nothing to chose from. Today, there are no ML or OV/UN plays in NCAAB. You can't paraly the OV/UN with the spreas in NBA.

Yesterday, I bascially threw together a cuple of parlays to throw this account to the curb. Lucky me, I am still playing. Unfortunately, i=under BoDogs Withdrawl option it will take me at least 7-10 days to get my money.

:WTF:

Why would any one bet at Bodog? Answer: Because they pay. These days, that's enough.

They really do suck, play at thegreek, you will be much better off. And they pay as fast as anyone.

Exactly!! Very beneficial to a dog player.

Was wondering where you disappeared to after Phoenix Sports. A Giant says hello.

You have to learn how to go the other way at the Bodog site as they tend to raise the lines on favorites. Most places these days are trying to get you your money ASAP, but that's become a problem. Bodog was one of the fastest pays out there, and I'm sure they are looking for a new way to pay everyone.

Hey man! How are ya! Wondering where you went. I guess you are still stuck in Vegas. Not to shabby. PHX wants money for their forum?!! LOL! They must be losing a lot of doe with there own plays.

I will only play their contest.

A bad line to one person is a great line to another person. But the missing totals and lines stinks and other things too...I agree. Ok, third or fourth book but that is it.

LMAO!!!!!!

uppy:

I would love to find a shop like that!!!!

unfortunatly BoDog does not take canadians!!!!

Bodog does have the occasional "gem" so IMO they are worth having as an additional out. What I don't like is that they post lines very late compared to most books and when it comes to added games they often don't post until late afternoon/early evening which is ridiculous.

this place is awful for squares. It is great for people that love to play dogs. They also used to have unlimited reload bonuses. And they have a great poker room.

good racebook

They also deal dual lines. So after you bet a couple of inflated dogs they will profile you and you will get Pinny lines but late and for full vig and few options which means they are a waste of time. Yes, they pay on time but there is nothing to bet on very quickly you will discover. Nice that they pay fast so you can get your money out quick and send it to a real book like Greek/Betjam/WSEX among others.

DarrylParsons · Feb 7, 2007

Indeed. Beware the dual line.

JamesHunt · Feb 7, 2007

They really do that? Never come across that before. It sucks.

Bodog has good software.

The bettor does not get to take advantage of the good dog prices because if you try to bet them they will give you the clone line. To say you can take advantage of the lines is foolish.

Bodog acts like you are taking advantage of them if you bet the inflated dogs. Useless book all around.

I was forced to switch to Bodog when Bowman's pulled out and I found the exact same thing the Doc is describing above with Bodog. If you are not American and love dogs, I recommend Bowman's.

Dr. Know It all:
I had heard that some got to hit the juicy dog lines when they first joined before they were profiled but maybe they don't even get that. The only time I have bet with Bodg was a acouple of years ago when they had an offer(I believe through RAS) for $100 for $100. They never gave me the good dog lines from the beginning but I figured it was because of the bonus offer. Whatever, they are not worth playing at. If Ii had to bet there I would just go local and forget it.

I use Bodog for poker, I find they give me a fair game, and lighting quick payouts.
I'll use the sports book to shop for lines, but I primarily use them for poker.
Not a useless book all around Doc.

stef · Feb 8, 2007

Not so sure about this fast payout thing anymore, Yes they did have fast payouts before funding method fiasco happen. Still waiting from a January 24th request. I do feel like I will get it but this has not been handle very well at all. The time tables they keep giving me have been sure turning up wrong. Sad because I like Bodog but I have lost confidence in them.
