Hello,
I like to bet lots a prop bets and with it harder to move money I want to get set up . Can you tell me how many Super Bowl proposition bets you expect to have? What is the average limit? Can I parlay prop bets?

Also, do you have any NBA specials? In that I mean is there reduced juice at times or rebates or bonuses? Why would I want to bet lots a NBA here?? I bet a lot of teasers in NBA. What are the odds for a 4 team teaser?

Do you guys plan to have a 10 cent Dimeline for baseball???

Thanks!
Brad Hicks

Comments: The first reply noted that they offered "everything (Brad) mentioned" and specifically said they did indeed have 10-cent baseball lines, then discussed cash bonuses that were available.  But without details on Super Bowl props and the NBA betting inquiries, Brad was not very impressed with the rather fragmented answers in the e-mail.
 
The second reply from a different person and only mentioned a cash bonus and their -107 juice without addressing any of Brad's questions.  Again, he was not impressed.

Comments: E-mail from both the Yahoo and Hotmail accounts bounced back as "recipient unknown" or "failed."  This (mail@betblackdog.com) was the address given on Friday (Jan 9) from their live chat.  But on Monday (Jan 12) when Brad contacted live chat again, he was told to use csb@betblackdog.com.  The second e-mail was dispatched and the answer came back about an hour and a half later.

Comments: Provided very short, but complete answers to most questions including a table showing basketball teaser info.  They did not, however, address the baseball dimeline in much detail, noting they had 'normal offerings at -105 juice,' and did not address how many Super Bowl props they might have.
