BODOG Is Really Slow with Lines

**moses millsap** · 12-22-05, 03:01 PM

Typical Bodog.

That has always been my top complaint with Bodog, unfortunately for them it is a big deal complaint. If they didn't give me an extra 10% on everything I put in there, I would never use them. Even with the 10% I use them rarely.

yes bodog is brutal with late lines......worst i know of

it cost me 1 point on the west virginia game and I KNEW that line was gonna move but I did not have sufficient funds in another account but that is gonna change as I can't rely on bodog too much anymore

**isetcap** · 12-22-05, 05:31 PM

yes it is painfully obvious that Bodog does not want any skilled betting taking place at their book. maybe it's time to slap an A- on them.

Ya added games are never up until 5-6pm it really does suck and some of there lines have just been bad like Dallas last sunday +3 -160

They pissed me off today.

Lokkin at the SBR Odds, Slodog has the Ravens at-3 +110...cool. I'm looking to just put 2 or 3 bills on them.

Log in and we are playing the dual line trick line for me is 100. WTF.

I think they will put the money lines up about noon on sunday.

Needless to say I proceeded to withdraw all my funds to neteller until I open about a different account.

That's a good move Dead Money. I am starting to get the impression Bodog is more concerned about its Poker than it Lines.

I got Ravens -3, +100 there as well. Bodog is worthless, sometimes they have lines that are better than Pinnacle for parlaying (since Pinny shifts to 20c on parlays and you might get a -105 instead of a -110 at Bodog), but for the most part, their lines are never competitive especially when you get dealt the BS lines. But everybody knows what to expect from Bodog, so can't really complain, because it's all out there in the open and they aren't hiding the fact that they prefer square action.

yea, that's always been my main complaint with bodog. that, and some ridiculous odds instead of just moving the line a half a point.

I like Bodog for that 10% (I also like their software and CS). Even for a player who only has one book and doesn't line shop, he has a legit chance at winning.

Isetcap probably has the right idea. Don't force yourself to bet a number at any one book but there are times when you hit a line that is pretty much the same everywhere and the discount comes in handy.

Their customer service is excellent and I also like their software. They would benefit greatly in my eyes if they would put more effort and creativity into their lines, offer more betting options, and provide higher online limits.

yeah, Bill's the one who originally sold me on bodog, and I'm glad I signed up with them...you HAVE to have other books in addition to bodog though, I feel for the person who only has them as a book...use them for late dogs and the bonuses...

**spanky** · 12-23-05, 06:10 PM

i like to bet dogs and always seem to get an extra 1/2 pt on dog,or an extra $5-$10 on moneyline.

**pags11** · 12-24-05, 02:24 AM

exactly spanky...

**imgv94** · 12-24-05, 05:16 AM

Bodog gets so many people upset-with being late-
that u would think they were a period.

Bodog has a x3 rollover compared to the others that have x5 or x10.
Bodog's 10% bonus is great. There software to me is by far the best. I
love bodog's software. There CS is the best i have seen. And for some
reason they make me feel comfortable. But really the slowest lines on
planet earth not accepting teasers on alot of games and comparing the
odds you can get with bodog to pinnacle or matchbook it's hard 2 like
bodog..

**wageringblog** · 12-24-05, 10:57 AM

they do have excellent customer support, i agree with that. and that does go a long way in my book, to be honest.

**moses millsap** · 12-24-05, 11:00 AM

I think best CS are the people from WSEX, but I haven't had much experience with the Bodog CS team.

**pags11** · 12-25-05, 03:47 AM

exactly guys...a book is what it is...know it's strengths and weaknesses...bodog does have a couple weaknesses (late, square lines), but they have a lot of perks too (best CS in the industry, great software, great bonus with a low rollover and the best referral bonus in the industry)...
