Where did you hear this? Where can you signup?

Proposition players mean bodog is paying people just to sit at the table and get them a rake. the person playing gets paid to sit and play..... there will never be more then 2 prop players at the same table and prop players will never play hu.......look out for players who start table but never play hu.....or beware of the same 2 players always sitting together whether they win or lose they are getting paid to play......the get paid ot get bodog their rake from other players. so start taking notes on everybody player that u play against

And where exactly did you come across this information?

Oh... nowhere in particular? You made it up?

daneblazer · 07-11-10, 07:49 PM

Big deal, several sites do this. I've always thought that if you start a table instead of joining a full one on a waiting list, more fish join the open table because they don't have to wait. Being a prop player can blow up in your face if you can't play short handed well.

These bodog threads are so stupid.

jeremythegreat · 07-12-10, 07:32 AM

Liar liar & i like bodog the best now

bodog always seems better for me because of the sports book

Roxxyfish · 07-12-10, 10:25 AM

well so even they use prop players, these players play at their own risk and they are not paid to play they just get a higher rakeback deal, I did that for 2 sites in the past and it sucks

terpkeg · 07-12-10, 12:48 PM

Why is traffic so low there anyway? Really took a dive early 09'. Was it just the slow payout issue? I cannot even get a $20 sng after waiting around for a half hour. Everyone in the shaty double ups.

kidk · 07-12-10, 02:44 PM

It started going downhill when bodog started raising evrtything across the board higher buy ins and lower payouts higher rake no more bonuses.

robert_wrath · 07-12-10, 02:47 PM

Prop Players aren't anything new in this industry. They start/keep tables in play so action doesn't die down.

illmatick · 07-12-10, 09:37 PM

never noticed any

Wonder why they would eliminate bonus, and raise rake. I mean, having poker traffic is no risk income, makes no sense to fukc with that. I don't play much cash, so I never noticed. I did notice that they dropped all the guarentee tourney purses, but the overlay was pushing 40%. It was kind of ridiculous.

kidk · 07-13-10, 02:00 PM

Because bodog poker is a joke they basicly are a sportsbook company who happens to have poker tables if you seen in the past year bodog has lost over 75 percent of their poker players.

hunterwrot · 07-13-10, 04:18 PM

bodog sucks anyway. the sportsbook sucks worse than the poker. the poker still sucks. i like pokerstars and bet phoenix. bet phoenix is good because they still offer 1dollar bets but they post the lines alot faster than bodog.

pozzy · 07-13-10, 04:48 PM

BEWARE!!! lol

boscokid · 07-13-10, 11:04 PM

Beware the Weak Tight players w/o HUDs that can be moved off most hands.

fer sure

sinmiedo · 07-13-10, 11:51 PM

FazzersGirl · 07-14-10, 09:57 AM

They definitely dropped all their guarantee tourneys A LOT which was a horrible move. I don't play their MTTs anymore, but the cash players there are TERRIBLE.

nosniboR11 · 07-14-10, 05:31 PM

bodog is run by idiots, hell get bodog becky in here she will explain that they have things in the works, lol, lol

ohh its funny bodog treated there poker players like shit and now we left, no matter what they do we will never come back

ZombieWolverine · 07-14-10, 07:38 PM

Good info ,good thing i didnt start with bodog on poker

kidk · 07-14-10, 07:45 PM

bodog doesnt care they make all the money off the sportsbook and the rigged casino site

fedtpels · 07-15-10, 04:16 AM

I don't see how prop players are a threat? Are they extremely good? Do they play any different because they're prop players besides how they start up tables?

BodogBecky · 07-15-10, 10:05 AM

For what it's worth, I just wanted to set a few fact straight:

1)None of the Bodog Brand licensees use props.
2)While it would have been great if Bodog Poker was 4x bigger last year, Bodog Poker has not lost 75% of their poker players- this statement is simply not true- please check out pokerscout.com for more balanced information.

Thank you!

kidk · 07-15-10, 10:21 AM

bodog becky to the rescue lol
of course shes not going to admit they use proposition players!!!!!

My suggestion if you don't like the site ... don't play there .. btw Kidk didn't you win some money from sbr tourneys there??

kidk · 07-15-10, 12:22 PM

Yes I did.I dont have a problem with sbr. I won a few times thru sbr. But I'm a longtime customer of bodog and bodog has nothing to stay there for anymore they do nothing for long time players took away all the incentives to play there
