    Bovada Blows

    I have an account at 5dimes and one at Bovada, and I might ditch Bovada altogether because they completely suck. Their lines some out so late, and half of them don't even go up. I like betting college football halves, and maybe 4 or 5 games actually have a line for them. So frustrating. What the hell are they doing over there where they can't keep up?

    I actually came into contact with them last week. At the end of the conversation the lady asked "is there anything else I can assist you with?" And I told her yea, go punch yourself in the face. Supposedly she told her boss and I got a great email from him.

    Bovada is just a basic book for basic bettors

    They get lots of square action

    5D CS may be erratic but 5D is clearly a superior shop to Bovada. If you like late lines, circled games, and less options play at Bovada.

    Which is exactly why I still play there. I don't know why everyone is always bringing this up as if it's a bad thing.

    5D is far superior to Bovada in my opinion, they offer a ton of stuff, CS is not bad at all in my experience (yes, Tony is rough at best) and if you dare try winning at Bovada - well, that won't end very well. They are not even close for me.

    Bovada charges you 4.5% to f-king deposit your own money via **** processor....

    Out of those 3, 5D's is the way to go...

    It would be good if they could list "no line" or "NL" so you would know there will never be a line coming out.

    You must be a good customer for them. They don't mind showing people the door who are disrespectful.

    Exactly, thats a good thing. You can at times exploit their inflated lines. The down side is that they typically move paylines to -130 and greater instead of moving the spread 1/2 a point. Bodog isn't bad if you use them in combination with other books. Lots of middling opportunities.

    Bovada meets what 90% of casual sports bettors are looking for, but appeal to a much smaller percentage of the forum crowd.

    More bad news on Bov. Unless I get that 50% free bonus I was offered, before I dep.,--and a gal today said she saw no evidence of me getting a 50% bonus. I see they are still promoting it, if anyone dep. there and they didn't offer, raise holy-hell, because I certainly am about to.

    I agree, bovada has never screwed me on a payout but the lines come out late and sometimes not at all.

    You can do either 5D's or Heritage or both...5D's offer a lot more options on betting on exotic sports such as handball, volleyball, European football and tennis (challengers and pairs tournaments).

    If you like betting dogs, bovada is fine until they start dealing you different lines.

    Okay, I have talked to Bovada [they caught me on a losing night, yesterday!] and they are going to review the taped conversation, they say, and get back with me.
    A little disorganized, yes, and are seemly, fairly naive about bonuses and point-spreads? I'll be patient...unless I lose my this weekend!
