I'm looking at Bodog......I don't know much about it other than a lot of people have had bad things to say about it. What gives?

I have been with bodog a while now, it is not as bad as people say it is. They were very easy with the e-check system, now that is gone who knows how long it may take to get a payout. I just requested a payment by fed ex, I will wait and see how long it takes. They said up to 5 business days. The e-check system is what made bodog good for me and now that is gone I thought about switching to 5dimes. I wont though with the mess online gambling is in.
The thing I hate most about bodog it takes them so long to post their lines. For example, they wont post NCAA lines till 11:30 the day of the game, while most others post them the night before the game takes place. That isnt including the added games which takes them till almost a couple hours before tipoff to post.
They also dont have many totals and moneylines for college. I dont play those much so it isnt a big deal to me.
Bodog is safe, it isnt going anywhere and if you were thinking about starting an account somewhere, the safest place to do it is bodog.
Hope I helped...

Bodog takes credit cards still, but they only give you a 10% bonus on your first deposit with it, not the re-up. The gripes about them from me are:
1) They will track what you bet on and adjust lines just for you. For example, I was looking at a b-ball game between team X and team Z on my computer and it was Team Z -1 vs. Team X. I then called my buddy to ask him something about the game and he siad "what are you talking about, it's at Team X -1 at Team Z." So they are shady in that regard.
2) They don't open lines until at the earliest noon for college basketball games, and there are no totals or moneylines on non-nationally televised games and no 1H/2H betting on the same type of game.
3) They circle any small conference game and don't let you parlay or tease it.
4) If you are betting big and winning(big on bodog is $500) then they will put a huge collar on you, basically chasing you away.
Their customer service is top notch though, and they will answer your questions via e-mail faster than any other place out there, even if it isn't what you want to hear. They also refunded a bet for me one time when I picked the wrong side on accident. Their deposits do get in there instantly and they aren't the site that would rip you off if they ever got shut down.

i dont understand why...its not like we're sharps. sooner or later people start losing, its just basic laws of physics. why would they chase customers away.
not diggin on you nittany, ive heard this numerous times and do not get why anyone involved in bookin games would want to chase away customers.
