    Best Betting Site? Bodog screwed me for the last time!

    What is the best betting site for someone in Canada interested mostly in NFL betting, some soccer and some live action.

    I need to get away from bodog, I've had way too many bad experiences:
    1) They mess up lines all the time and then don't pay out. Just the other night I won two lines on a Washington receiver under yardage in the first and second half, but it wasn't until after the game that they called it no action. I contacted them and they said it was an error, that the player doesn't even play for Washington. When I wrote back calling them on their BS because he does play for Washington, they said it was meant to be another player so they gave no action even though I was using that bet on a receiver under in combo to hedge with RG3 going over.
    2) Last year they kept sending me these stupid promotional e-mails so one time I just clicked on one while bored and thought I'd play with a bit of the casino bonus to kill some time. Well they wouldn't let me use my original money back in sportsbook and obviously nobody is going to win in an online casino because they control the game, so I didn't even bother trying to meet the insane rollover that would have been about a year's salary so I lost all my sportsbook money.
    3) Their customer service is awful, all they do is keep replying with generic responses and complaining never gets anywhere even if its just literally a few dollars and the customer is right.
    4) The site has already been shut down and has all kinds of legal issues so it doesn't work in different countries. Myself I'm Canadian, but when I go to the US its a completely different site (bodog vs bovado) so I can't even bet when I'm in the US.

    All in all this is an awful site that will screw you any way they can, probably why they've had so many legal issues.
    I'd go Bet365 or any other big name site but Canadian banks don't deal with betting sites so I can't figure out a way to make deposits or withdraw money other than with bodog, which is so illegitimate it probably scams the bank security too.

    Can not agree more vociferously. They claim they don't haver technical issues, but two calls to their worthless customer service line was enough for me. I'm hellbenty on absolutely dispariging these crooks and God only knows if I'll get my money back from these crooks. unfortunately here in the State of Washington, off shore gambling is technically illegal thanks to the Redskins who operate casinos here. Wanna bet I don't see a plug nickel?

    Bovada/Bodog are the kings when it comes to sending out irritating form letters to their customers. I made a $500 live bet and their market was set at -190/+130 (yes they take much juice on Bodog live) and my wager was on the +130. The market at Pinnacle at that time was -140/+120. They waited until the event was over and graded my wager no action due to an OBVIOUS LINE ERROR. When I emailed in to complain, I got the same form letter response 6 straight times. That was my last wager ever placed at Bodog.
