Bodog UNC/Duke lines

Mac4Lyfe · 02-11-09, 09:04 PM

Would you rather pay -110 at -2 or -115 at -3.5? If your on UNC Bodog sucks. If your on Duke it's a great deal.

not as extreme, but they had something similar with OU/Baylor.

Road favorite by a few points, and they gave more favorable lines for the underdog.

+4.5 (-115), the other books were at +3.5 (-110)

ML +160, the other books had +150.

On Duke, they had ML +130, other books had +110.

exactly. I don't know why, but they slid the lines towards UNC and OU, the two road favorites.

Are they injecting their own opinion to bait people into taking the home favorites? I never see that happen with Bodog.

I saw them do that alot in college football this past season as well. It always seems like they tend to hurt the smart money IMO. I've ended up laying much less money with them this past year as a result.

i have my whole bankroll with Bodog and i wish it was with thegreek. Bodog is for people who are not serious about betting i have learned that quick. I am cashing out soon and putting it all with the greek.

Bodog made an absolute killing. They suckered people into betting Baylor and Duke.

yisman · 02-12-09, 09:28 PM

they did it again tonight.

Boston road favorite.

They made their lines on Dallas better than all the other books.

Bodog kills the bettors again. 3-0 in two nights.

Three times baiting people into the home underdog.

I love Bodog but sometimes they really piss me off. They only put ML bets on select few games and you cant bet 1st half bets on all games its only select few games. I put some money in another book also

Alpinestars7 · 02-13-09, 12:41 AM

grappler u can transfer your bankroll to the greek i think has to be like 500 or over tho and u can just transfer without having to cash out and deposit in both might wanna check it out

I dislike them because:

1)Too much vig.

2)Parlays/teasers

3)They only have MLs for football/basketball games with like 3-7 point spreads. Everything else = no MLs. Very annoying.

4)No pucklines for hockey.

Yeah I totally agree. I do like their page setup its real easy to read and some of the other books I looked at are all jumbled up. I've been with bodog since 2006 but I'm looking for another good book. I have a small amount of cash in sportsbook.com. I like them ok. If you know of a better book let me know I open to try anything cause there are a few games I would have covered if they had of had a money line on the game. There are also a few first half bets I would of cashed on if they would have had those.

Their page setup is so much more logical and simplistic than other websites. It's the only reason I visit their site.

Have you checked out the SBR ratings for sportsbooks? Pinnacle usually gets good ratings. Also 5 Dimes and Bookmaker.

caseyking2 · 02-13-09, 01:05 AM

Have not checked out Pinnacle but I will do that now thanks

caseyking2 · 02-13-09, 01:31 AM

Have you ever checked this book out http://www.playersonly.com/join.php

it is back!

Bodog is trying to bait people into taking Wisconsin tonight.

They have FSU at -3.5 while the other books have it at 2.5.

yisman · 03-20-09, 05:39 PM

they're also trying to bait people into Morehead State.

Do not take Morehead State or Wisconsin tonight.

Odraca · 03-20-09, 08:37 PM

they prolly have a dollar amount that that book gets on one side of a game before they change it, it seems like a lot of dumb bettors play bodog.

or they pay the mob a vig..
