    Default Why is Bodog in the A range books?

    1. Dealing Duel lines/profiling you and giving you bad odds

    2. No reload bonus

    3. Limited payout "Checks are processed in increments of US$ 3000. For requests exceeding this amount, one check will be sent every 5-7 business days."

    4. Late lines I.E want to put laker vs celtics? Good luck they are not up.

    5. Insane juice on some bets.
    Nadal, Rafael -10000
    Daniel, Marcos +1700

    Querrey, Sam -180
    Ginepri, Robby +140

    6. Poor Customer service. Want to ask about what deposit option they have, they want your mother maiden name and city your born in.


    What are bodogs competitive advantage? Why do they deserve an A or -A

    You guys are idiots. The most important thing from a book is that they pay out promptly and without a hassle. I haven't had problems with bodog for months. Save your bitching for books that actually need the flaming.

    I totally agree, being paid is the most important thing. But when bodog stack odds like -10000, +1700 against you getting paid is kinda hard.

    2. "Checks are processed in increments of US$ 3000. For requests exceeding this amount, one check will be sent every 5-7 business days."

    If you ever win the $100k poker tourny he top prize is $25000, that would take 8 weeks to have it withdrawn. That isn't without hassle.

    What I am pointing out is they don't offer anything better than books out there right now. Not to mention their limit are tiny. $500 on total for NBA final half time?

    I agree that dual lines and the terrible juice on tennis matches is a turn-off, but they should be not be reduced to a c just because of this.

    I can't speak for bodog, but they must have a different arrangement for the poker winners of those tournaments.

    I've been with bodog at least 7 years. First and foremost, they have always paid quickly (except when most books were struggling with payouts when new regulations came out).

    Most books have maximized payout amounts now to similar amounts (especially by check), also due to processor restrictions and new regulations. Even bookmaker has similar restrictions. Bodog used to cut me checks of 7k, but I understand times have changed.

    Yes they do deal dual lines, everyone knows this. I've been on this forum for years and it seems like every other week someone brings this up like it's new information. If you don't like the line, don't wager. Sometimes this can actually work in your favor.

    In my opinion, they are clearly an A- book. They would be A to me if their limits were a bit higher.

    What are they offering you that you can't find else where? I been with them for around 7 years too.

    Back then they had 10% cash reload with 3x rollover which was great.
    Now there are no bonus, limited monthly withdrawls, (3k).
    Bad odds.
    Even their poker don't have the rake back, where u get 1 dollar per 10 points.

    In terms of incentives it is pretty shitty.

    SBG Global has some great incentives. Would you rather a book offer crazy things, and stiff you when you win?

    Their customer service is horrible, but they pay, have lots of promos, and they do offer lots of lines on stuff like props and boxing.

    I've been using bodog for 3 yrs now and it is by far the best book i have used, the lines are relatively slow to post but who cares, the payouts are swift and thats what matters the most.
