bodog what are u thinking

[sinmiedo]

guys...............today i triped my money in bodog 300 up
i love the soft
all the players notes are gone and this is a new game
no more soft helpers.
this has totally changed the way users using soft helpers play,
but there are more voices for the contrary than in favor so i have to voice my opinnion in favor.
i was never up so much in this site playing .25 .50 and .10 .25 and i m only playing 2 tables max.

So would you like playing in a casino without being able to see the guys you were playing?

If some guy is psycho aggressive, I like to remember who he is. Poker is a game of information.

Of course youre happy. You won. Come back after you start losing to Player2.

keeping recrs is unfair in my view

Have fun with no controls on Bodog scamming you with their own bots and filling up with colluding players. As the leaders of scamming players, Absolute/Ultimate are just going to be mad they didn't think of this.

[TheAntFather]

Bodog is garbage. They look ready to scam some more people.

[donjuan]

I need to do more reading but pretty sure this violates the UK Gambling Commission's licensing regulations.

[El Sol]

It seems to be right in line with the goal of creating a recreational gambling site. I understand the anger, but Its not that big of a deal. Number one, bots are easily beatable and second, card sharing only gives a minute advantage. However, it will now be harder now to capitalize on the advantage of knowing who's chip dumping and who's not.

If anything this would help the experienced, since theres no notes or stats it gives fish the false sense of a level playing field, thus those with good reading skills will be able to pick off the varying playing styles rather quickly and capitalize on it.

They thought it through and I applaud the risk they are taking. Dont knock it yet until it all plays out...and plus, no more idiots quoting stats.

[andywend]

What it isn't their right to do is make a change that makes collusion and scamming ridiculously easy without any ability to oversee that on the player end.

Is this a joke post? BoDog has the right to make ANY CHANGES they see fit to make. You, as a customer, can either accept the changes or leave the site.

They're all but removed level 2 thinking and the social aspect of the game now. Now if you're going to multi table or play there at all, the way to play is to play really tight level 1 poker.

[oiler]

well like they say,lets see how many players bodog loses with this move,seemed like they gained alot from the other sites shutting down but im guessing they will lose more since this einstein move

[oiler]

plus i get on this morning and only had .2-.5 cent table ,are u kidding me.why would i waste my time with that,poker is going downhill fast

[yisman]

first chat I saw last night was a number telling me how terrible this is and how he's %#&*ed because he's American (limited poker options).

No one likes this.

[sideloaded]

I guess it's a good way to get everyone to cash out before the name change

Ah, good old Andywend, who never met a book he didn't like and has close to a 100% track record in siding with the books in disputes. They don't have the right to make ANY CHANGES they want if it violates their gambling license.

Some players keep notes when they play live. They aren't taking them at the table, but they'll take notes of players tendencies, the way a player played a hand, etc when they are done with a session.

Taking notes on player #6 or any player is meaningless since you will never know when you play him again.

BoDog trying to reinvent Poker is about as funny as it gets.

[nyplayer33]

this is heaven for cheating/super users

[wrongturn]

May not be a bad thing for average players in small-medium stake, because they were getting killed. Only bots and sharps are left. The trade-off is you will never know if there is fraud going on.

That's just not how the law works, and Bodog opted in to UK regulation.

Perhaps you are unaware that there are actually regulations and standards when you get licensed outside of the third world.

[PaperTrail07]

bodog is a ******* joke....i dont trust a dime with those fools

[Mr Handicapable]

I've been at Bodog for 6-7 years and trust me on this....their poker is circling the drain FAST!! If you go on Stars with 200,000+ players then numbers might be ok but you can't have that $hit when you play the same people every week?

[donjuan]

Baghdad Becky too busy shoving propaganda down people's throats at 2p2 to bother responding any further to this thread?

[TheAntFather]

Bodog should have been shut down last year. They have been scamming people on their sportsbook as well.

[vividjohn45]

bodog blackjack is a scam. can't see how they care about their players..

Not true at all. The Bodog Network does not operate pursuant to a UK Licence. Bodog UK was granted a UK licence to operate bodog.co.uk back in July but has not yet begun trading under it. Bodog.co.uk currently operates under an Antigua licence. When Bodog UK does launch bodog.co.uk, poker will not be offered on the site and there is no intention at this stage for it to be added in the future.

[BodogBecky]

Bodog should have been shut down last year. They have been scamming people on their sportsbook as well.

None of the bodog brand licensees would ever scam a player, ever. Please provide me with a specific example of how you think you or another player has been scammed and I'll ask a senior CS manager to look into it and get the facts.

Thanks,
Becky

[BodogBecky]

That's just not how the law works, and Bodog opted in to UK regulation.

Bodog.co.uk/Bodog UK has been granted a UK license. The other bodog brand licensees have licenses in other jurisdictions, for example:

-Bodog88.com is licensed in the Philippines
-Bodog.eu is licensed in Kahnawake (and the newly branded MMGG site which goes live Jan 1, 2012 will also be licensed in Kahnawake)
-Bodog.ca is licensed in Antigua

Thanks,
Becky

Even in those countries, I'm sure you'd agree you just couldn't put anything in the terms and expect it to stand (e.g. 'On the third tuesday of every month, all bets placed at odds over +100 will automatically lose'). Terms of service in most jurisdictions are still subject to a reasonableness test, which is the point I was making to andywend.

If you don't offer Bodog poker in the UK then that's likely fine.

If you however switch bodog.co.uk to trade under a UK license, and have a Bodog branded poker product accepting UK players, even if not advertised on Bodog.co.uk, I suspect you will face challenges.

Bodog UK will not be a part of the Bodog Network...plain and simple!

[FourLengthsClear]

Bodog UK is a joke of a sportsbook (sorry the maximum stake for your reqested bet is £7.34, do you wish to proceed?). That's fine, my choice not to play there but why on earth do you IP filter players to prevent them accessing Bodog.eu?

The less said about the changes to your poker room the better. There can be no logical explanation for these that doesn't make Bodog look desperate (or dishonest).

[BodogBecky]

Bodog Becky whart about the players that use more then 1 screen name ???? How do watch out for that now ???? any answers for that???? Bodog can't even keep track of it with names now there is no names

From CS:

We have strong security measures in place to ensure that players do not create multiple accounts with us. These measures are not based on screen names so the recent changes will have no effect on our ability to enforce our policy of one account per household. These measures have proven very effective. Players are only allowed one account and we take steps to ensure that duplicate accounts are properly dealt with.

[Mr Handicapable]

I also noticed last night that when I tried to check the losers hand after the river it only showed the winners hand. You're always supposed to be able to see anyones hand that called the river? Like I said earlier....I've been with Bodog many years and I really thought Stars/FT going under would make Bodog a big poker winner but they've blown it unfortunately?
