    Bodog slow on releasing spreads?

    Sorry if this is already been talked about im brand new to the forum and just started on Bodog bookie. But I noticed that there super slow on putting the spreads for the games out right away. I wanted to bet games on saturday and the spreads were released 45mins before the first game. Is that right to do?

    Yes, Bodog is very late putting lines out. They're generally one of the last to put out lines, they deal dual lines to different players, and they're one of the quickest to put bettors on small limits and a lengthy delay. They use a lengthy delay to decide whether or not they want to take the bet or move the number first. Bodog is one of the last books I would ever recommend.

    Bodog has been notorious for this for a long time.

    The longer you wait to post numbers the "safer" it is. BoDog is one that is very conservative in all aspects of their operation.

    They do offer good customer service and a large variety of bets, which makes up for late lines for many people. Personally, if I was just a average day-to-day bettor, I would want at least one additional book in order to be able bet early. Even if one doesn't care about shopping lines, just for the convenience of betting when you want.
