    Rumored trouble for Bodog

    Wow, it can't get any worse. Bodog can't find a way to pay me my $10K balance and now this tweet from a widely respected professional poker player.
    Maybe the DOJ can help me get my money.

    Tony "Point of G" G:

    "Bodog is now named (not charged) today in this affidavit and I strongly urge anyone having any money on sites like bodog to cash out"

    It looks like the tweet was removed but what I have in quotes ("Bodog is now named (not charged) today in this affidavit and I strongly urge anyone having any money on sites like bodog to cash out") is what he wrote.

    What he said is true, but if you actually read the affidavit, you will see that Bodog is named in the Background section. The Homeland Security officer Googled for internet gambling sites; one that came up in the results was Bodog. Anyone that thinks that the US government was not aware of Bodog previously is an idiot.

    They changed there .com to a .eu they are no longer vulnerable here in the states, i guess now we need to wait 7-14 days to see that this is bs or not bs. Lets see if what they are saying about these .eu and .ag being out of the country is plausible if they can take that away and bust more of these guys than i will believe this is finished and our govn has unlimited power. In the mean time i will get everything out and take a vacation for summer as im over due, hang out by the beach or something to clear my mind also drink.

    Listen...the sky is not falling yet at bodog. I have been paid weekly in last year with few exceptions and delays. I am sorry chambers for your unique payout situation... But please stop with the unfounded rumors. If they get indicted, we will all know.

    Not necessarily true as my local credit guy got blasted on Monday as he was affiliated with Betjerrys.

    The key is low risk tolerance. You should only have funds out there that you can lose.

    That is sound advice.Cut my outs to 3 and cash in those to about 1/10th of what I used to carry.Lost a shitload at BOS but at least learned from it.

    I hope everything is good as i make some pretty good $ there and it would be a big blow to me yet again this year. But i think everything is good and they are prepared for the worse.
