    Bodog or TheGreek
    Hello, I am fairly new to online betting community. I have been a sports gambler in the past and now I would like to start with some online sportsbooks. I am thinking I should go with Bodog or TheGreek. Both I have read are very good. However I have heard that Bodog takes very long to get your payouts...sometimes as long as 2 weeks to a month? Whereas the Greek is super quick.


    I am just looking for any opinions or advise on this situation. Thanks!

    Well, If your considering TheGreek. Then I would suggest that you look into playing at BetJamaica. They are part of the Spiro family of books, and are top notch.

          BoDog lines are a little off. Payouts are a little slow at this time but you will get paid. You only need the other books if you are a heavy hitter.

            Bodog uses dual lines Raiders. So at least inform the gentlemen about that little tid bit of info.

                In the current financial climate I don't see what bodog offers anyone.

                They used to be great for a recreational player that wanted to deposit $200 on thursday bet a few games and withdraw on monday. Those days are over.

                  true. He'll start with the soft lines.

                    well i see that bodog uses dual lines and i'm not so fond of that...

                    im leaning towards thegreek or betjamaica now...

                    not sure ..keeping options open and probably just sign up with multiple places.

                    not sure

                      Check out Doc's. He use to have a promo post up $100 at BoDog and receive an extra $100.

                      I'm not sure if he'll have this again or if someone else does but it use to be up at this time of the year.

                        BetJamaica is a much better choice than Bodog for a recreational player.

                        Take a look at BetJM or 5dimes before Bodog.

                          I can't believe anyone would advise BoDog. Just use Betjamaica. They are very solid. You'll have a much more pleasant sports gaming experience with them than with BoDog.....

                            I did just notice that BoDog doesn't have the 10% reups. When did this happen?

                              It's been that way for quite some time now I do believe Raiders.

                                          josh,

                                          If you do not bet until game day, 5 Dimes is the choice for you with -105 odds on game days. If you prefer to bet weekend football games during the week, I would go with BetJamaica in a heartbeat over Bodog.
