    Default bodog is a shady operation

    Bodog screwed me on a 4 team teaser. I played a 4 team teaser with them today moving the spreads 13 points. I had

    chargers +8 chargers won by 30 so thats a win
    indy -1.5 indy won by 36 so thats a win
    vikings +19 minn lost by ten so thats a win
    tampa +28 tampa lost 35 to 7 so that is a tie

    By the sites rules that should be a win with odds recalculated to a 3 team teaser because of the tie. They however stole my money and marked it a loss. What a bunch of crap. Is there anything you guys think i can do or are missing here??

    If the rules say ties are okay then I would contact them? I have never been a fan of bodog.

    A 4-team teaser that is spread by 13-points is considered a Sweetheart teaser. In a sweetheart teaser, any tie is equivalent to a loss. Better luck next time. Sorry about that.

    on bodog if you PUSH(which u did with tampa bay) on a teaser with 3 or more teams and take the max amount of points(which you did) you lose the wager

    here is a qoute from their site from the teaser rules

    "A tie reduces the number of wagers (teams) in a regular teaser of three or more teams. For example, a four-team teaser with two ties reduces to a two-team teaser and the payout is recalculated based on the reduced number of teams."

    No. For Bodog, that is a sweatheart teasers and ties count as losses. This is why you should avoid Bodog. My friend had the same thing happen a few weeks ago. We both made the exact same bet but I bet it at 5Dimes and I won and he lost.

    Believe me I am done with bodog as of today. For months I have been considering leaving them due to the fact I feel that the poker on the site is rigged. I have been playing holdem for ten years, and never have I seen so many quads and suck outs in poker as with bodog. I feel they try to spread the money around so they get more fees. Anyone know a good poker/sportsbook they can recomend??

    The bigger question is....if you are doing a Sweetheart tease...why the hell would you put Tampa Bay in there? You think on a neutral field NE-2 isn't a winner against the Bucs?

    It was a bad bet.

    Happened to me a year ago. Other books have options where ties will reduce.

    my experience from bodog is that, if you have a teaser and they all win and 1 push is a loss... I aruged until my face was red and asked for a supervisor, no luck its a loss...........Bodog sucks

    The Nfl is a parity league. Is any team really 4 touchdowns better than another? I figured 28 was a good number to take tampa with it should have tied but the site screwed me its cool they just dont get my business any more

    I'm not impressed with Bodog either. I got some BTP winnings awarded there this week so its the first time dealing with them.
    I would never deposit with them

    Hey williams mentioned 5 dimes as his site of choice anyone know how the poker is on there or if they have any signup bonuses or such??

    Has to be their sweetheart teaser rules like others have mentioned.

    I had a 6 team parlay there today and HOU pushed at -3 so that knocked me down to a 5 team and they credited my account accordingly.

    Sorry about that, man.

    Yep, that's a sweetheart teaser.

    And when you place the bet, it even TELLS you that a tie results in a loss for sweetheart teasers.

    Can't really blame them. Bodog is one the the few sites that has a professional site (except when it was out today for an hour) and actually pays.

    Many sportsbooks would have graded it a loss too. Bet Phoenix grades it a loss. Heritage Sports would have graded the teaser "no action". No sportsbook would lower it to 3 team 13 point teaser.

    Its either a loss or "no action".

    Titans are better than the Bucs and the Pats raped the Titans 45+ points. You should have taken the other side of that or even the Packers

    The bet was correctly graded as a loss

    And if you can't win at poker at bodog you should stop gambling

    why did you tease tampa bay fucceneers they sux..

    Yeah, that was a bad bet. Pat's -2 was easy money. Hell Pats -20 would have worked just as nice.

    Why the heck would you take TB? The Pat's -2 was clearly a better bet...

    Don't blame Bodog, blame yourself for that blunder.

    Bodog sucks...I cut them off awhile back when they had payout problems and they still do...their co. founder douche-bag Calvin is back after hiding from the feds...he was knee deep in shit for being a con-man...he is scum...

    pats shut down ten 59-0 in the snow...i'd have definitely gone -2. and you ask if any team is 4 TDs better than another? the colts come to mind. and the rams/tampa/ten on the other side...

    either way though, that sucks about them jewing you, even if you didn't real the rules adequately. i'll never use them, for sure

    Sorry to hear about your football bad beat. I would stay away from any Bucs game. They are a Jekyll and Hyde team.
    If you Beat the Prick this past week, you should be back in the money at caribsports.com. That could be a starting point.
    I got lucky and went 4-0 (beginner's luck) while the Prick looks like he went 2-1-1. Wish he would have went 3-0, so there would have been even fewer winners. Anyhows it said the prick was like in 142nd place, so I am hoping that 141 players divide up $5000
    which would be around $35 for each player. Be sure to sign up for the Beat the Prick contest....

    P.S. Bodog is the only website that I have asked for to cut me a check. They did it pretty promptly, so they still have my business for the last 3 years. They are my oldest account.
