    Shady Bovada/Bodog

    Offering different lines to me when I log-in than what is on the page not logged in (refreshed both pages several times to make sure).

    I think it might be because I'm in the Kansas area.

    The lines you see before logging in are the "Square" lines. If you login and see a different line set, it means they reviewed some of your bets, and decided you are not a complete idiot. There are still a lot of juicy things to bet, but it is not as good as the square line set.

    yeah once you take a couple underdogs at -105 over there for decent money they will stick you with their "normal" lines which are still not normal

    i wish i had those noob lines for one month

    They definitely know your playing preferences. They say the lines before signing in are just for general site advertising..and then as action goes they adjust accordingly.

    What about when you call and get a line without having to provide your login?
    Then which line do they offer oyu?

    at least i do, i have a feeling if you ask for the line first, then give your account they would say "sorry sir the line on milwaukee just jumped a point"

    as I already said.

    Bodog claims the line discrepencys are due to not being logged in.

    end of story.

    you have to "login" to get the most recent lines.

    i asked DIRECTLY are you dealing me dual lines?

    they said "absolutely not sir"

    Ever thought of asking what the line is on the team you DON'T intend to bet on.
    Then tell them youve decided to bet on the other team.
    I guess you would just end up where you are now. They could still say OOPPS the line has JUST changed again.
    if they fudge the number on the visitor say, by .5 points then when you lay your bet on the phone on the home team even if they fudge again by .5 points you still get the middle line?
    I dont know
    I think its shady to watcha stagnant line all day then right when I go to bet it, apparently the whales have laid money in agreement with me, its criminal but without proof, what ya gonna do?

    Why would anyone in the US ever use Bodog/ Bovada when it takes forever to get paid from them? Go to Betislands instead- 1000 times better book!

    Yes that's standard. If you ask them if they deal dual lines they make up stories about how "lines are moving all the time" and similar nonsense. The worst part is that they also deal one sided action on smaller markets and props, like you bet a prop, if you bet one side, it goes through, but if you bet the other side, you get "sorry the line has changed" and it moves 10 or 15 cents. So that allows them to essentially deal a 40 or 45c line rather than the 30c they claim to deal.

    I won a free 50 for the NCAA bracket contest and this site is for people who don't know what a good site offers. Bovada is dealing 30-40 cent lines on their props. I would never deposit money into this site, but I am up 747 on that 50 I won. I'm a little worried about them paying me now that someone mentioned it takes forever.

    Bovada gives you a free $50 promotion without asking you to deposit one red cent of your own money and you turn that $50 into $747.

    You then go on to say how horrible the site is and whine about their 30-40 cent lines on props as well as the processing time on withdrawals and say how you'll never deposit money with them and are trying to convince other players to avoid using the book. I'm sure Bovada is thrilled you decided to take part in their promotional NCAA contest, LOL.

    HOW COULD BOVADA POSSIBLY SURVIVE WITHOUT YOU?

    I really hope Bovada figures out a way to stiff you on the $747 as your post was incredibly irritating to read.

    Bovada Becky (customer service), figure out a way to stiff this guy.

    This site is called sportsbook review. Where people review sportsbooks. I have deposited my own money in bodog a long time before I learned about the better options out there. If you don't like my opinion go cry in a corner because i don't give a shit!

    Just when I thought Andywend couldn't be a bigger douchebag... he exceeds even his own low standards. Anywend you bitter book loving loser... go somewhere else. You're just jealous that you dump all your own cash there.

    I figured he was a bodog shill. I mean if they want people to say good things about them tell them to stop locking out lines, coming up late on lines, dealing sorry juice on coin flips, and try to keep up with their competitors. It's not the players fault this book isn't as good as other options. I am grateful they offered me a chance to win some free money through them, but if I deposited into this site when 5dimes is a much better option with much better payout options, then i would be an idiot.

    Yeah dude has a boner over Heritage and Blowvada. He doesn't care about any of the things you've mentioned above - because he has no hope of winning. What does it matter if a book slowpays if you have no intention of ever getting any money out of them?

    I am no fan of Bodog/Bovada as they cut my limits down to $50 on props and $500 on straight bets years ago. Their "suspicious betting pattern" form letter that they send when cutting limits is absolutely pathetic.

    I've only been with Heritage since Greek transferred all of their U.S. accounts to them and my limits have already been cut by 50% across the board. I'm down to 20% limits @ 5Dimes as well though at least Tony took my call and said flat out he doesn't really want my business.

    A little hint: Books like Bovada, Heritage and 5 Dimes don't cut limits of losing players.

    Duff, you have NEVER run into this problem because you're a complete and total idiot.
    Findthelock, $747 is peanuts but since you haven't invested a single red cent at Bovada, why bag on them when they gave you the free opportunity? It makes you look like a real piece of shit.

    Yep SIA won't take bets from me and Bodog will let me bet $20 on English Premier league games, $5 on American Football and $2.50 on the NBA. Try again champ.

    Do you know why books give prizes away? Do you know the difference between speculation and observation? Your entirely out of your element right now so I won't embarrass you, but you have got to grow out of this troll BS. I am not here to entertain the trolls. This is a sportsbook reviewing site partner, and my review of bodog is below that of the other options out there. So run along and go get yourself "limited" at another shop. Since you're bankrupting all of south america, why don't you start selling those gems as a tout? I mean from the sounds of it you're taking millions from these outfits and winning at a 90 percent clip. Don't you wish I was that gullible?!?!?

    If I were Mr. Wend, I'd probably stop posting in here now.
    I had never heard of you before today & I already agree you are a bit of an arrogant douche.

    I've never understood the hate for bodog/bovada. Unless you only use 1 book, it's great. Almost always has a different line from the others. They have great promotions, a soft poker room, and great lines on dogs. Great value as a 2nd or 3rd book.

    Bovada might not be bad if it's one of several books you use. But using it as your main out is a mistake imo. Not nearly enough flexibility and way too conservative of a book with their offerings.

    Do they really push 30/40cent lines? Bovada offer 25c lines on NASCAR H2Hs. At 5Dimes they are 30 cents.

    Dunno about other markets, but they beat 5 Dimes on those every week.

    They have 30c lines on many props and they take one-sided action, which effectively makes the line a 40c or 45c line.
