    How much would you be comfortable having posted up with them?

    Nothing. Well, maybe $500.

    But they do have soft prop lines, so sometimes I do suck it up and let the uncomfortable ride.

    I would think having a pokerroom and a conservative business model that they have a low risk of going bankrupt in the near future. That's gotta be a plus, right?

    Been with them 3 years, and they gave me a quick cashout. I play their texas hold em poker the most.

    I think it's a great book for people like me who just throw 20-50 bucks in here and there. I only deposit 100-300.00 every month and I'm a low gambler and Bodog has never done me wrong. Again, low gambler here.

    I have that there now. (Mainly from scalps that have won there and lost to Pinny or Matchbook)

    Trying to get 9 of the 26 today. I will report how that works out.

    Thanks for your input.

    Rock solid. They've got Bodog girls to use as collateral so I've always felt all set.

    Bodog takes such a harsh rap from some people....In the past it was deserved. (Past, as in over a year ago). But they're a solid book now.

    Of course, noone should forget how they (Ayre) advertised about how great they are in the public, and how lovely betting on sports is...

    ...besides that, i don't consider them a sportsbook anyway.
    This would be an insult to outs like Greek, BM or Pinny.

    Also, their handling of selective cancelling of live bets shows that they will steal when then can.

    I would trust them for no more than the amount you need to make your daily bets.

    I was under the impression that this sub-forum was for serious sportsbook discussion, not posting pictures of half naked chicks that reload jerks off too from his mothers basement.

    They seem to be pretty good for the not so casual gambler as well.

    The Bodog licensees do not steal from players. Regarding live bets:

    1) Bodog cancels any wagers regardless of win/loss that they find to be past post
    2) if any player thinks a wager of theirs was past post and not canceled or was graded unfairly as past post, they should contact customer service

    Thank you!

    I am saying that when a forum poster complaints, they will selectively fix the problem. I will bet that they cheat 10 others who do not complain. Live betting is a touchy area to begin with. I don't trust them enough to live bet with them. I will live bet with several other books, I trust them to pay me when I win without me having to bitch about it.

    This is absolutely, 100%, not true. Selectively fix the problem? Cheat? Just not true. Peep, we have gone over this many times already and I will keep calling you on this if you insist on making statements that are not based on facts. Bodog has paid every winner in its 15 year history. Everyone is welcome to their own opinions in areas that are about opinion….but if you are making up facts in other areas to support these opinions, you need to be called on them, and I am forced to do that now.

    Give me ONE example of bodog not paying a winner and I will explain the situation and show you why you are not correct. Bodog has paid out 50 Billion in winners. You bring up a few hundred dollars of contested wagers that, using industry standards, no other operator would have considered real wagers. Nobody in this industry accepts acknowledged past post wagers as real wagers. You are just wrong on this one, and no matter how many times you bring this up, the facts are not going to change.

    To further discredit what you generally say about "bodog", you don’t know anyone in any senior level at any of the bodog brand licensees and have only played at one of them, and you said yourself that everything went smoothly. Outside of that narrow band, you are actually not even qualified to have an opinion in any of the other areas you are expressing your strong opinion. You are welcome to hate Calvin or his style for whatever reason, but you cannot make up integrity arguments from a feeling that is based on disliking someone you have never met, especially seeing as he is not running the gaming operators anymore.
