    No you don't. If you were playing dogs, then Bodog would take the sweet dog lines away from you.

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??
      5dimes has paid me a ** in less than 90 minutes before and their western unions are usually always 24hours and less....but i was not saying bodog isnt up there or doesnt have good features. i just personally strongly dislike their bad features.

      and (although it was just a joke and i dont call people noobs even if they are) the noob comment was directed at Anyone who thinks that if a book pays people what they owe them- it should be an A book.

        I think they have the absolute best layout of all sports books. They make it so easy... I wish all books had their software. I think 5Dimes has the worst software. Bookmaker is good too... The Greek is at the very bottom of bad software. BoDog is great for betting dogs though. I love BoDog. Always pay me out.

          They do deal double lines which is shady and I think that should lower them a grade. But as long as you are cognizant of this and are sharp, no big deal... they still slip up and give dogs away for good prices often times.

          Definitely should NOT be your only book.

            Books that deal dual lines are crooks. They are in effect hanging -10.5 + 9.5 on every bet, because anyone that would take the dog gets the shitty line. It's complete bullshit and unacceptable.

                Thanks for your input... I was looking at that a few days ago and trying to figure out if I should deposit a few bucks there.

                    Negatives outweigh the positives for me. Though I last played there over 5 years ago. See no reason to return....better options out there.

                      Bodog "live betting" is the shizzle, tons of fun...although ya gotta call them at least once a night to have the correct a mistake, but it makes the game so much more entertaining when you can get bet on the next play

                          Bodog isn't that bad. The lines aren't always 1 point higher on favs. Actually, today I got 1 point better at bodog on a favorite than betjm. The lines are posted very late but it doesn't bother me because I can always get the play in on my phone if needed. I'm way up on my account at bodog and have withdrawn a couple of times quick.

                            How can you hate the betting interface? That along with the dog lines is the best part of Bodog.

                                    outstanding rebate program in their easy to use racebook too. yes, the lines come out late, but favor underdogs. games that are redlined annoying for parlay and teaser bettors but the site is so easy to use you have to keep it as your 2nd book at least. never do cashouts so can't speak for that.

                                              I just wish they'd have more generous moneylines like BetJamaica or 5Dimes. But I've gotten a lot of bonuses from them though.

                                                cant parlay golf , they pick and choose what games they want to put out for every sport. they put stuff out so late that oftentimes its already moved unfavorably...just not a fan.

                                                  Also annoying if your outside the US because they will likely make you play in their .co.uk sportsbook. Ridiculous because it only offers a sample of the College Basketball games each day (basically only the top 30% of games - and none of those juicy dog lines).

                                                  I bought $50 cash there and then found that out when I asked CS why I could not find the Southern Miss-Houston basketball game. Also their site layout sucks and their site can be incredibly slow during peak demand hours. As a non-US player there are heaps better options than Bodog.

                                                        I had a check from bodog bounce awhile back--that was when bodog issued checks drawn on a Nevada bank and I remember reading that the US government had seized their funds--they eventually sent me another check but they did not reimburse me for the check bounce fee which I think was about 20 bucks--I e-mailed them when the check bounced and mentioned the bounce fee---thought it was a bit tacky and I soon thereafter stopped playing there

                                                          Did you send in any documentation of the fee? If not, send it to me and I'll speak with a senior CS manager and see if I can get it reimbursed for you. I'll PM you my email address.

                                                            the only party that Calvin Ayre deserves is one where he get slapped around, he is partly responsible for the laws in the US with his stupid Bodog advertising on national TV etc...shrug, books like Blowdog are bad for the whole industry and even Becky cannot sugarcoat that...

                                                              Have been playing there for years with never a problem, while they do have drawbacks getting paid quickly and great customer service is not one of them. They are one of the few books I would and have recommend to friends.
