I havent made in any bets outside of live betting as of yet.

I strictly do live betting.

I messaged them and they replied as follows:

Hi Matthew,

Thank you for contacting Bodog Customer Service.

Bodog caters more to recreational players with a combination of fair lines and other industry leading perks. Our lines reflect the action of our player base.

Recreational bettors usually pick the favorite and the over. We post lines late and keep limits low to discourage professional and syndicate betting. This means we don't get as much buyback on the dog and under as other books who cater to those players.

When we offer lines later than most books, we reduce our risk and make it possible for us to provide you with a unique experience. By minimizing the risk to the house we can offer greater bonuses, on-time payouts and excellent customer service.

If there's anything else we can help you with, please let us know.

this makes no sense.... biggest load of crap ever read.

I'm surprised they let you go that long before limiting you.

As long as they pretend to pay me I will pretend to work

'recreational' = losing or break-even gamblers

I do about 90% live betting, and did well at Bovada. They limited me to $100 for live, and when I continued betting there at $100 a pop, they collared me after a few more weeks to just a $1 max bet.

Sounds exactly what Bovada would do.

Google "Calvin Ayre" and you'll realize what kind of scumbags you are dealing with at BoDog & Bovada.

Heritage & Bookmaker both A+ Books IMHO.

You will be OK at 5Dimes also until you have your first experience with Tony.

This is industry-wide so don't pull this "winning trick" at the new books or they will protect you from yourself also.Haven't played Bookmaker but I have known Heritage has simply said you must be cheating when someone hits them big and say "Sorry,no bet" we ain't paying"

I'm on Bovada and has anyone had any problems with the live sports betting window? It won't update anymore. and neither will any other sports on the site.
