    Exclamation Dozer, Bigboydan,somebody...Tell me how bodog is rated A?

    I requested payout on APRIL 7th...got an email that said "it will take an average of 25 business days"...I should have recieved it MONDAY...but after not recieving it monday and waiting until tuesday I called up CS...they said "There was a european holiday and it set us back 4 days and you will get it on Friday"....So if thats not bad enough, mail comes today...NO CHECK! I call them up again...they say "remember we said it can take an AVERAGE of 25 business days"....WTF man!

    Not only this but the book puts lines up way late and everything is juiced to hell.

    Why are they A rated?!?!?!


    *please note I only play poker their, I stopped using the sportsbook a while ago.

    It's a business. Other sites advertise much worse books. The rating is a joke but agreements have to be honored.

    Mad, You agree they shouldnt be A rated?

    I think the response SBR gives is because they recreational, they can get away with this stuff...

    Payment delays are part of the game today.

    Bodog used to handle payout in a matter of minutes. If the laws hadn't changed, they still would. It's hit them particularly hard because they cater to the $10 player and processing thousand of small withdraws a week is difficult.

    But, they always pay and they don't stiff people.

    durito is 100% correct.

    I have like 5 friends who play at Bodog and they bet super small amounts. They deposit like $20 on their CC and make $5 bets. They request free payouts for $100.

    I am not excusing Bodog and I won't play there. However they handle way more payout requests than others. Your money is safe . I just takes forever to get there,

    I've never used them myself, but a few people I know did, and Durito's statement is 100%. They used to pay very quickly. Each book has it's own quirks, especially with the spotlight that has been shined on Bodog.

    I understand what both of you are saying...But Secure money is not the only criteria that SBR rates books on...If they were solely basing it on the fact that money is safe, then sure Bodog and alot of other books would be A's...but you have to factor in other things like payouts, CW, Lines ect. And when you factor those in, Bodog doesnt come close to an A

    By that criteria WSEX would not be an A+ with their processing delays. Bodog is a different animal, in no way should it be an A.

    lines?

    Bodog has some of the weakest lines in the business. That be an A+ if that was a factor (it's not though).

    Bo Dog is ok but squares play there, it is not a top book for players that bet over $100 per game.

    Bodog has always been a big book. I've played there and deposited 20.00 here and there. I've never actually withdrew but I'm a small gambler and I use to play big money in sportsinteraction and withdraw there. However, I just started recently playing bodog again and deposited quite a bit and I'm playing there now as my main sportsbook, hoping for the best.

    My father deposited 20.00 and got up to 480.00 and withdrew it and received it in 3 weeks 5 months ago. Bodog is a good sportsbook and I think you can pretty much guarantee your money is safe with them.

    Been with Bodog for 5 years and I think they are a top book. They've always paid albeit it takes a month now but blame the republicans for that.

    Lines aren't that bad. I wait until few min before first pitch and end up with better lines than pinny most of the time. If you think they are bad check Bookmaker lines.... Far worse.

    The only thing I don't like about them are the bloated tennis lines on favs. Also wish they'd offer offshore basketball lines on Euro, Aussie and Korea.

    They are a solid book overall and they've earned my trust.

    I can see why Bodog is an A book. It has been said many times that they cater to the smaller better and deal with many more payouts than most books. Your money is safe there. It just tanks awhile to reach you.


    I don't play there but have friends who do. I try to getthem away but there ************ work there but do not at 5Dimes or BetJamaica so they don't bother switching. Bodog's line are horrible in my opinion but for baseball they are not too bad. Their biggest problem is not putting up moneylines and not allowing you to parlay many of their lines.

    I dont like Bodog cuz they dont allow canadians. For what reason, who knows?

    Ive been waiting for my Betfair cash out for a month now. Tried 3 times to withdraw. everytime charging me 45 bucks.

    They should never have been an A book. Lines and bet options have always been horrible, plus payouts and deposit options are equally lousy.

    Affiliates AAO, thatsthe sole reason.

    You wont see SBR chime in here.

    For those that say its OK that it happens, are fools. No other respectable book would do that. I dont see WSEX/Bookmaker/Matchbook/5 dimes waiting 25 business days...
