    Looking for info on Bovada

    To anyone who might have any information and cares to post I am thinking about picking up Bovada. I am looking for any comments anyone might have regarding the following:

    The casino
    The poker tables
    The sportsbook
    The payout times
    The site promotions

    If anyone has anything to say about any of the above topics on Bovada I would greatly appreciate your input. The two main features that I care most about are the sportsbook and the poker tables. Does Bovada usually put up new lines at a decent hour / do they do a lot of props / do they run a lot of team totals for things such as MLB? (My current book doesn't do the last thing.) Then as for the poker my current book's tables are almost empty except during primetime. I have heard that Bovada does expedient poker payouts and there are always tons of tables going so I guess my question regarding the poker tables would be: is the above information actually true about how many people are playing the poker tables and are the payouts fast?

    Once again, anyone who actually took the time to read this I thank you and any information regarding this site would be greatly appreciated.

    Sportsbook is very late in putting up lines and they deal dual lines meaning you will get a different line than the public line once they profile your betting patterns

    Shot in the dark in the sense that sometimes you get good players and sometimes you get bad?

    Their casino will rip u a new one. Their lines are inflated. They release their lines late. I use them for poker or goof off bets. Like 2h wagers for late nite action. I like their rush poker
