    Just wondering if they spam you with real mail or phone calls. Also what is the best way to fund and quickest way to withdrawal?

    I've used bodog for three years. they kind of suck. Deposits via insta check is usually what I do. Can't really bet more than two dimes per game. They will Fed Ex you a check once a month -- getting money out is difficult. excellent cs. diamond is better imo

      You might get the occasional Email from them, but I've never received any cold calling from them before. Now as far as the best way to deposit/withdraw from your account goes. Western Union or MoneyGram would be your best options to avoid any delays.

              I have been with them for several years and have never received any mail or phonecalls. You can deposit by credit card and once you print out a contract from their site you can receive withdrawls. I have used western union and fed ex. Western union is the easiest to me, but if you can wait a few days the fed ex isnt bad either.

                Bodog is the absolute worst, and I sincerely believe it is a matter of when (not if) they take everyone's money and run. I don't know why anyone would play there with options like theGreek, Matchbook, WSEX, and BetJamaica out there, but to each his/her own. GL...:cheers;

                    Just a brief stop through pokernut. I don't think you can suggest those two book families enough to those just starting out in terms of security. Hope all has been well the last couple of weeks...

                      Bodog is actually not that bad. They're great for betting underdogs. For example last night I was looking around for Miami Florida +2 and Bodog was one of only two books that had it. The other book had it -120 and bodog had it -115 so i bet it on bodog. Good thing I got it at +2 because they lost by 2 so I got my $500 back. Some things that are bad about bodog is if they have someone +7 -105 and you want to buy it to +7.5 they charge you -120. You'd have to be crazy to pay 15 cents for a 1/2 point. If its just +7 -110 they charge you 10 cents for the 1/2 point which doesn't make sense. I've made it a rule to myself never to pay more than 5 cents for a 1/2 point. Overall bodog is ok and doesn't deserve an A rating maybe an A-/B+.

                        I do not think they are to bad. Never received any phone calls but an e-mail once in a while. Nothing like some of the other sites I have used.

                        Good luck!

                          Haven't used them since Neteller, was reading payouts were taking a while. There are better choices out there now

                              Been at bodog for at least 5 years. Never received call or mail. Have always been paid. Recently, checks by courier come in less than 4 business days.

                                Been at Bodog for a number of years. They have always honored my payouts, but since the US Anti-Gambling laws were enacted they take about a month to get a check out to you (SBR was faster sending me Prick checks!)

                                After trying to post deposits in other SBR A rated books, I realized how difficult is is to deposit funds with almost any book now, and after Bodog had reinstated and granfathered in e-check deposits, I have just stuck with them. However, as of now, it seems Bodog no longer accepts e-check deposits, and that is a major disappointment.

                                Bodog has never sent mail to my house (except requested checks,) or called me on the phone.

                                Bottom line, if you are a new depositor - there are better books out there than Bodog. Books that do not use dual and late lines, have faster payouts and have decent bonuses.

                                However, if you are a US bettor and want a safe and fairly dependable book, Bodog is ok, otherwise go with another A or A+ rated SBR book. If Bodog will not reinstate e-check deposts in the near future, I will probably move elsewhere as well.

                                GL.

                                  when all these people say the use bodog i hope they are refering to dog lines [taking points] cause all their other lines for the most part are bs,not to mention they take forever to come out bias bias ass bastards,a books job is to take action thats the fk all.

                                    Thats not always the case accuscoresucks. Bodog uses dual lines on some of their clients.
