Is Bodog really that bad?

[TheDon72]

Hey guys it seems like I always see people complaining about Bodog. I don't see how this can be because its a pretty high rating? I'm just a recreational guy who plays mostly ML's occasional spreads. I take it serious but mostly just do it for the action.

Its just really easy for me to use them with there digital pin service as opposed to ** or **.

What are your guys thoughts about Bodog?

[doublej95]

never had any problems with them. lines come come out a little to late for my liking.

[paco]

Bodog is a must have for all gamblers if u like to play underdogs.

[ouman101]

They are A rated because they pay their players. They aren't bad for playing dogs. Otherwise, they are always a point higher on the favorite and on the over. Also, they put their lines up very late and don't have ML's on a lot of the games.

[Jnas]

they pay fast. good customer service. Just painfully slow at posting lines. if that doesn't bother you, they are a great book in my opinion

[crustyme]

its a good book for dog players on the spread but not ml. they dont even hang ml on small spreads such as < 3.5

Thanks for the Input (Except OSU Fan lol)
I played there awhile back and the software was appealing. What do you guys think is the best for ML's. Its really between Bodog and Bookmaker cause I'm making a $50 deposit.

5dimes takes 50$ deposits and they have moneylines even on halfs. their lines come out early, you can put prop bets in parlays, they do tennis and golf. they grade and pay fast.

bodog puts out a lot of lines late and the rest of the lines- not at all.

[BestPlay2day]

Make sure Bodog is one of your many online books you have, not the only one. Great book for dogs, but always last one's putting out the lines plus they like to put squares around some bets which you can't use in teasers or parlays.

They pay and the poker room is ripe for a sportsbook...

[tatommack]

i just started using them they better not slow pay me as fast as they take money out of my checking

the ONLY reason i play at bodog at all is because they are the only sportsbook i know of with a respectable poker room.

[dngf]

I like bodog because they have higher lines than other sites, so good for playing the dogs. Often they stand out a point from other sites. I wouldn't think it should be a primary account, but an account to have.

[TheDon72]

awesome replies guys

Yea I loved 5dimes but I only do ** or ** transfers ($50) or Digital Pin so thats why I'm not playing there. I used to play quite a bit of poker so that might be nice to have.

this..

[crustyme]

if you got $100, do bet jamaica $100 match bonus. cant beat that.

plus they offer ml on all dogs.

[Legions36]

Great book for me, dont listen to those individual complaints. I mean for every 1 out of 100 come on that doesn't mean there a bad book, it just seems to me that the ones that have the issues seem to find each other and team up to mash them thats all that your really seeing. But if you ask after everything is all and done with them "Have they got paid?"the answer is probably yes unless they did something against there rules or something. But you should expect to be paid by them in less than 4days, hope this helps.

[boscokid]

I hate bodog. Used to be great

I give you an accurate review of them (pretty much echoed by everyone else) and you bash the bucks

Its Ok, you'll see how Michigan QB's do against them tomorrow

[jackkkk2009]

Bodog sometimes is good, some times is bad. It's hard decide weather they are good or bad.

[Albert Pujols]

Bodog is a must have for all gamblers if u like to play underdogs.

They're good for 1 week until they deal you the sharp line. Bodog is run by pussies.

[Legions36]

Umm I don't get it, how can they be bad if they pay and thats exactly what they do is pay. Thats why they are A

[Lo$t]

Cwissy says Calvin is a whore and Bodog Becky is stupid.

paying just means they are not an F book. doesnt make them an A book.

[skrtelfan]

No one but very new people get those "great dog lines." I can almost always find a better price on Matchbook or another major book that I can at Bodog's regular line. Nobody gets the "square line" quoted on the line feeds other than the very new or those stupid enough to bet the inflated favorites.

[Ace_of_Spades]

Not a big fan, hate the layout.

[thebettor]

Payment is everything. Timely payments deserve an A rating. What good is betting online if there is no reliability that you will get paid?

[Fieldysnuts44]

Ive played at Bodog for the last 5-6yrs and have always gotten paid quickly.Ive never had a problem with any of their checks.I think their customer service is exceptional.Iagree that their lines come out late and sometimes they dont offer money lines on some games but I think they are decent book but poker games are always juicy.Thats what keeps me around.

[Legions36]

No reason to try and prove a point to me why they are not an A book just like SBR rates them, I know from experience with them that they are an A book, from my friends that play there that they are an A book. So theres no need to say bad things about them and to compare non exchange books to Match is just plain rediculous, honestly how are you going to compare books to Match lines, but to be honest you could also flip to scrip and say that Match doesnt have parlays and such and Bodog does. But you cant compare the both in any way, two totally different type of things. So to be honest for me Bodog is a great out, i do have to say that i could no live on just Bodog alone i need all the A books that pay to be honest. Like i said before they pay and they pay fast, I like there customer service and live service, also there security questions are great to prevent others from using your account.

Lots of books pay- any book listed here that is an A or a B especially (and a lot of the Cs pay.

once youve differentiated between legitimate books and scam books, then the nuances, details, policies and features become what is important. payment is Not everything...it is important, even necessary but there is a lot more to this than "are they going to scam me and not pay my winnings?"

f*ckin noobs.

Noob lol, this guy is actually a funny guy. If you mean to tell me that a book like Bodog that pays, also has some pretty good lines also for dogs especially, great poker room, good customer service also on there live chat, from time to time has good bonuses, pays fast is not a good book then i don't even know what to say. And to call me a newb because of what i am saying here is just plain rediculous
Also if your with a book that pays you in a month verses less than 4days everytime, Do you know how much money your losing in that amount of time??

[maritime]

they pay fast. good customer service. Just painfully slow at posting lines. if that doesn't bother you, they are a great book in my opinion

couldn't have said it better myself

[Otters27]
