    It should also be noted that CRIS and Olympic deal 20 cent baseball lines where Bodog deals a dimeline.

      Did they just switch to dime lines? I thought I read that somewhere...

        did i say i was picking the match with the highest? i just picked one randomnly... pick any you like. show me one on bodog that's better than 5dimes. that was the point. bodog has inflated juice... argue that point.

          No. Overnight they are not dimeline, but they are the day of the game.

            Bodog has Federer -3300, Ginepri +1000
            5Dimes has Federer -1150, Ginepri +800

            Not even in the ballpark. Bodogs juice is the worst in the industry of any of the major books.
            The theoretical hold (juice) on a:
            -3300/1000 lineset is 5.79%
            -1150/800 lineset is 3.02%
            -115/-115 is 6.52%
            -110/-110 is 4.54%

              The point is that -3300/+1000 isn't as bad as you, or others, make it out to be. While 5 Dimes has lower juice on ATP/WTA matches, they have higher juice than -3300/+1000 on many of their Challenger matches. And I've already pointed out one instance where Bodog beats several other industry leaders.

              Look, Bodog is certainly not perfect, but it beats the hell out of 5 Dimes if you actually are looking to make money. 5 Dimes actively takes shots at players, misgrades wagers more than any other book in the industry and pulls stunts like changing the lines while you are trying to make a bet.

                Try winning consistently at tennis at 5dimes and see what kind of juice you get

                  i see a glut of posts about payout issues with bodog... and isn't that pretty much the worst thing a book can do, not payout? i'd still be using them if they just paid... waiting two months now.

                    That is certainly an issue and a downside to Bodog. That said, the debit card should be faster for that. I'm waiting on mine to arrive in the mail, at the moment.

                        i'm quite sure bodog would love to go back to 2 years ago when they could pay everyone their $25 withdraws in 5 minutes.

                        instead of calling them everyday, try calling your congressman.

                            why don't you have them send it to your neteller account.

                            oh, that's right

                              what I don't understand is, why is it so easy to DEPOSIT money with these books?

                              30 mins for a deposit, 4 months for a withdrawal?

                              anyway you try and sugar coat this with "its the us govt fault, processor, blah blah" is garbage.

                              at the very least books should have a notice on their websites about slow payouts, for whatever reason. There is NO reason not to have this.

                                I requested one payout from Bodog and it did work last December. They got a check to me within 10 days. It was small so maybe that was the reason. I just found this a few minutes ago, might be worth a read.

                                    that's nuts

                                    10 g is big money to be betting sports but online casino is crazy

                                    where you get that kind of loot to gamble so recklessly?

                                      this was 2 years ago. depositted 500$ into bodog, hit a 3 team parlay in nba season,then run that 4k into 10k than lost it all betting 500 a spin.

                                      Trust me once I lost that 10k that feeling was the worst feeling in the world.

                                        that's kickass to turn 500 into 10 g

                                        i got the casino turned off on my accounts

                                          How does pat "know" whether Bodog can pay out $10k if he lost it all before cashing out?


                                          I've been requesting checks between $2000-$3000 each month since last September and been getting them 2-5 weeks. This is the first time it has gone over 2 months.

                                            It's now over the 40 business days, and they missed that deadline too. All they provide are lame excuses.

                                                DonJuan you are clueless. Stop making excuses for books that deceive and dont pay. The fact that you are making excuses for them tells you what this industry has gotten to. Terrible!

                                                  You guys should file a complaint with SBR (if you haven't already) and Bill will get on it. They finally paid after he hounded them.

                                                      I filed a complaint over a week ago, but haven't heard anything since I sent the e-mail and still no money from Bodog after 2 months.

                                                        Google, Bodog payout delays, to get more info on just how bad it really is for current US customers dealing with payout issues.
                                                        Bodog management has no idea on when customers will get paid or what method will be available for payouts from one day to the next.
                                                        Read for yourself the lies and bad info customers are getting from Bodog customer service.
                                                        Bodog should be a D- book for all players from the U.S.

                                                          I've been having problems with Bodog too. In June, I requested payouts totaling $6600. To date, I have received $5,000 and am still waiting on $1,600. They are no longer allowing me to use Western Union for payouts, because even though I've used it before, it has not been my "regular deposit method." Bunch of BS. I called today about my payout for $1,600 and they told me I would get a check within 10 business days of today. So 2 weeks.

                                                          God, this is so ridiculous. I also received my Bodog debit card in the mail today but was recommended by their customer service not to use it because there have been problems with it.

                                                            Has anyone that's owed money not been paid at all? Delays happen (I suppose), but not getting paid is obviously a lot worse.
