    Bovada is TERRIBLE

    Please inform the public of this terrible sportsbook. Certain games are not on there because they think it is "too predictable" HAHAHA...I never heard from a Sportsbook saying this game is too predictable. Unbelievable.


    Stay away!!

    Hi ATC727,

    If you're looking to hit numbers shortly after opening, Bovada posts some odds later than other sites, so perhaps not the right fit for you. They also aren't geared toward pro action, which maybe your bets would qualify as? =)

    Thanks for sharing your feedback - also, please feel free to respond to this thread, you don't have to create a keep creating a new topic on the same subject.

    that sounds nuts. if they think it's too predictable, go against the spread everyone else has and change the line, til it's not. or just cover it. always thought this book sucked.

    Bovada did not have selected SEEDED NCF teams available for wagering AT ALL.

    I can understand heavy line movements and adjustments to see and update accordingly, but not having at all a 17 seed for example, is ridiculous.

    How is this website anywhere close to A rating?

    Not everybody gets the option to withdraw via the same method, they only have 1 method available for withdrawal which are checks.

    1 method to withdraw only......


    Goodness....

    Cancelled bet

    I placed a small bet last week on Seattle to win the NFC, as Bovada had them at 1,000 to 1. They cancelled the bet. WTF? They just cancel any futures bet when they decide they don't like the odds?

    Yep, once Seattle starts winning. Lol what a joke of a book. Might as well be under the previous ownership.

    Doubt if Seattle were ever 1000/1 to win the NFC sure it was a bad line

    anyone with a brain knows not to bother with this book. They pay SBR alot of money to keep their A rating when they are a C at best. and we all know what SBR does for books that spend money with them....Betislands anyone?

    Underdog bettors paradise over there.

    I give them a ton of action in the book and poker so maybe its different for me but never have a problem getting green out and only real complaint is the slow posting of lines and limiting my props to $10 .

    They e-mailed back today saying it was an obvious line error and it should have been 10-1. I know that is correct, but then my question would be whether that goes both ways. What if they listed Seattle as even money and someone accidentally bet them, thinking it was 10-1? Would that person be able to cancel the bet, or would Bovada say, sorry, you placed the bet?

    If you like betting 2 hours before kick-off, then Bovada is the place. Otherwise, they're are better options.

    You should be able to point to one example of someone posting about a cancelled winning bet and a non-cancelled losing bet on the same market somewhere over the last decade if that is true eh?

    Yep, I agree to all of this above. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE

    They pay SBR to keep rating. This needs to stop or someone create a new SBR website.
