    Why do people dislike Bodog so much?
    I never get why people say bodog is bad book. Sure they don't put lines until gameday usually and don't have Moneylines for some games. But besides that, i think they offer 1 free check payout per month and most books don't even offer this and charge you for checks.

    Also, their limits in the NFL Games are usually $2000 each and totals are $1000. NBA game sides are $1000 each but totals are $500 only. I think hockey and baseball ML are $1000 max. I mean to some of you, that may be low limits but i would assume the majority of you $1000 a wager is not considered a small wager.

    Sure their lines are not as good as matchbook's one cent spread on baseball and NFL and 5dimes reduced juice, but aren't they pretty much similar to bookmaker and thegreek in terms of lines with -110 with the exception of lower limits? Even during baseball and hockey season, their lines are just like bookmaker and thegreek.... 20 cent lines but why does it seem everyone dislikes bodog so much. I mean its not like they are allowing a maximum wager of $250 on a game.

    not sure about others but for me:
    1. dealing dual lines
    2. lying about it
    3. absurdly low limits on my account

        if you have still have this limit it means that you haven't beat this yet, once you already at least take 10k from them they'll limit you like crazy. Great books for anti public plays for sure.

          Bad CS service, Dual lines, Low limits, and actually come to think of it, they offer the worst rewards system (none) and bonuses of any book
          Ive played on.

          A few positives though. Great underdog lines, one of the few sports books with a big poker room, and pretty easy to deposit with DBT and digital-pin.

            Full juice, absurdly late in posting lines, tiny limits for winners, etc. Fine book for small/recreational bettors though.

              I like Bodog just fine. I just have one main complaint. They won't let me (Canadians) have an account in USD. They are the only book I deal with that can't figure that puzzle out.

                not a great book for big bettors. but no one in here is a big bettor or they wouldn't be here (some exceptions i'm sure). easy to use. the red line around games eliminating them from parlay/teaser play is annoying, but their race book is top notch. no one that i know offers .10 superfecta wagers on tracks that don't offer them (woodbine,mountaineer,laurel, just to name 3) is a big advantage to players who understand the bet. good small recreational player book.

                  i think the late lines is enough, we are not in 1998 anymore the lines should be up in the morning, not like the old days when you waited until 2 or 3

                              Yeah, you're right, no one makes money from online poker.

                                    Dual lines and puny limits. Have to be creative after you beat them in one particular sport.

                                      I love bodogs lines for taking dogs. and they pay fast about a week for a check. my only annoyance is the extremely slow posting of lines.

                                        They are one of the more useful public books...dual lines etc, but still i was able to get a lot of good numbers there before they gave me the phone-only.

                                          Not a bad book at all. Always great for dogs and a good casino/poker.
