Ego74's Bodog Review
In the past couple years, Bodog Sportsbook and Casino has positioned itself as “the industry leader”. In the past year, they’ve caught onto the Texas Hold’em craze and have also added daily Horse Racing betting for your gambling appetites.
PROS:
Bonuses: It looks as though Bodog have made their 20 % signup and 20 % reload bonuses a permanent deal. They usually do this right before Football, or in time for the Bowl Games and/or Super Bowl. Looks like it’s here to stay!!!
Dependability and payouts: Bodog has been around for 10 years now, I have played with them for the last 3 years. Customer service has ALWAYS been superb, and I have NEVER had any problems when I have requested a payout. This good news for not only the recreational bettor, but for the “high rollers”. They also grade winners VERY quickly.
Deposit Options: Bodog was the first to offer Direct Bank Transfer, where you can fund your account with either your checking or savings account. They have their own processor, so no need to go through Citadel to do this. Other methods include: Neteller, Instant Credit Card, Check,Bank Draft, NETeller, FirePay, Neteller Instacash, Instant eCheck, myCitadel.
Variety: If there’s a sport you follow, chances are Bodog has a line on it. Not only the major sports, but also WNBA, CFL, NASCAR, and Entertainment props (Oscars, Court cases, reality shows, Politics) among others.
Cons:
Late lines on some sports: Not a biggie for many of you, but sometimes they get the lines (especially totals) out later than most books. Part of this is to avoid a weak lines that the “syndicate players” can hit hard. This book is more for the recreational gambler, in my opinion. For the more serious bettor, it’s always good to have a few different “outs”.
20 cent baseball lines: Plenty of books offer a dime line. Couple others an 8 cent lines. No, thank you.
A very sharp book; Not really a “con”, but they are a very sharp book, very tight lines. In other words, they’re line makers usually put the -115 to -125 on one side or the other.. That kind of juice will break the average bettor in the long run.
Overall: A-
Bodog is still one of favorite books. 100 % risk free, which is more important to me than bonuses or juice. Like I said earlier, customer service is top notch, bets graded quickly, and there a highly recommended in my book.
