Your Bodog Opinion here

I can only relate my experience with them

Started off promisingly with good odds and reasonable limits

Then they started cutting limits regularly and the odds went off (later discovered their cunning stunt of dealing dual lines)

Never any problem with payouts and no fees either

But in the end just a waste of time given the poor odds and low limits so I withdrew all and haven't returned.

Payouts are constant and on schedule. Lines are good for dogs, bad for favs. Money is safe.

Not been back since strict limits were imposed soon after meeting wagering requirements for sign up bonus.

furdepenet · 09-12-10, 01:42 AM

i think they are ok, lots a bet possibility

lukahh · 09-12-10, 07:54 AM

my experience is same as Hareeba!'s.
perhaps i'd add that they seem to be unsure of their own rollover rules. ask CS 5 times and you get 2-3 different answers.

Pays quick but there are better Books than BoDog.

Bodog = joke

Not a real book like 5dimes, Phoenix, BetOnline. Those books will limit you also but at least their primary purpose is sports betting.

Bodog primary purpose is combined with marketing, girls, poker & casino. Sports seems last on their list. From the juice they use, to the limited wagering options, to the joke of the software combine to really make me feel more in a circus than an online sportsbook when I'm there.

I still cant get past the fact that their lines are put up so late. Most times you have to wait until the day of or even until a few hours before a game to put up lines. This is ridiculous. They lost my business just for this alone. Then they put up dual lines to players that are winning. All around Im staying away from these guys.

philliesfinest · 09-12-10, 10:44 AM

always pay thats the important thing

philswin · 09-12-10, 10:58 AM

Why pay 10% juice on sports bets just do not understand why anyone would do that

BoDog is easy to beat. I haven't heard of any real problems in the last couple years. I was handling a minor player dispute with BoDog a few months ago... BoDog disagreed with SBR, but accepted our decision in a grey area.

I have money there myself, but I expect to get tossed soon... I've run that $11 poker bonus up to about 6k now.

Good recreational bookie, lines are OK, sometimes very good soccer handicap for smaller market.

LGBoots · 09-12-10, 12:44 PM

Never had any problems with them

I've been betting online for nine years. Over these years I've belonged to many books; few great ones, some good ones and of course bad ones. However, no site got an F in my book in every imaginable category except Bodog. I could write pages on my experiences, but I'm not going to. Nine years, I've never posted anything, but I saw your question at the top of the page and I had to say something. I wouldn't wish the Bodog experience upon anyone. Worst overall site in the industry.

My maximum stake at the US Open final Nadal vs Djokovic was 1.90 Euro.
Nough said about this Mickey Mouse book.

Frogger · 09-13-10, 06:38 PM

When this book brings out people who have NEVER posted, after 9 years............

Lets just say, I think Justin7 and SBR would feel differently if this book didn't advertise huge on this site. People talk about 5dimes and this and that site, but ranking BoDog and "A" is the worst rating mistake SBR has made.

(not bashing SBR, still by far the best site out there!)

maybe. take it easy.

bodog is very picky about who they want as customer. paranoid maybe. but that's their right, and your money is safe there if you decide to stay or go. i read on forum they also respect SBR mediation and verdict. this all qualifies for high ranking.

if you were subject to bodog limit policy (as i was), you simply place your bets elswhere.

I wish BoDog would offer more moneylines on college football games. I like to parlay 4 or 5 of them. I can do this on Greek or 5Dimes, but not on BoDog.

kmarinouofm · 09-14-10, 02:34 AM

bodog is like your crappy weed dealer in high school.. 3 weeks out of every month he had crappy weed.. then there is that one visit that happens maybe once a month where he has the best shit around.. and you ask yourself.. why don't you always sell this shit!!! He just shrugs his head and responds "its just weed man"

bodog is the same way.. most of the time the lines suck.. then there is that one dog you want to lay.. and you find you are getting a whole extra point only at bodog!!

anyway they are reliable and u can always count on them.. stay out the casino and poker.. you will loose your sports winning Lickety-split!!

The pros: They pay. They offer lines on lots of things (good book for boxing). Will take an opinion. Offer decent bonuses and promos.

The cons: CS is horrible. Lines go up very late.

Cuse0323 · 09-14-10, 04:52 AM

Lines suck but at least they payout and quick. Now I'm dealing with some BS at another site since I left there.
