Bodog only lets u buy points as long as the line isn't juiced in any way such as -105 or EVEN. They were really better for the average gambler when they only required one rollover payouts but now they require three times rollover to cash out. THey do cash out fast though and give a 20% bonus on reload for now.

I think you have to understand their position, they are conservative in their approach, they don't like heavy money early and are geared more toward the average gambler as far as I can tell. You won't find O/U lines until the day prior at best for example. Even spreads come out much later than other books, again, I assume to keep the heavy hitters off.

but overall they are reliable and payout quickly?
what do you mean by having the roll over 3 times?

you mean if they give you 20 percent
you have to rollover the bonus 3times before you cash out?

thanks

I have a bodog account, but some of the line suck... but ocassionally they have a better line and I will use them.

Bodog is good if you like the dogs. They are usually a half point higher than most books.

Yes, they are reliable
Yes, they pay out quickly
3 times rollover might just be while they are giving out 20% bonus, but means u have to play three times deposit + bonus before you can cash out.

I used BoDog forever because of their direct bank deposit option. Their bonuses are pretty nice as well. For poker, they're A+, but as a sportsbook, they are F-.

This is simply because 1) they post the lines literally a DAY before a game 2) They don't offer moneylines on games over 10 pt spreads 3) They only offer O/U on games televised (what a fkn joke) 4) If you like to play favs you're certainly going to eat at least a point and a half more chalk

so in summary, good bonuses and poker -- BAD sportsbook.

For an A+ sportsbook I reccommend www.5dimes.com, they have the lines up faster than anyone else. They offer 20 pt teasers as well as moneylines on all games. My ONLY complaint with 5dimes is that they only allow 8 team parlays, and if you parlay teams highly favored on the moneyline (my betting strategy for this year), a 12 team option would pay better. But still, 5dimes is the best book you can get.

p.s. oh yeah and you cannot buy points, at all... unless you do a teaser (in which they're very limited). So basically if you have a point spread of -3 or -7, you're screwed... 5dimes allows you to buy up to 9 pts per game. I know I'm touting 5dimes highly, but they are IMO the best book with the most options.
