Re: I think Bodog is up a creek pretty badly.....
They [censored] up by not initially appearing to contest the court's jurisdiction. If you are being sued in a place that you don't think has jurisdiction over you, the correct response is NOT to just not show up. Make a "special appearance" to contest jurisdiction (which you can do through counsel, Ayer would not have to be there in person).
At this point, they either have to pay or appeal (or move the court to reconsider the entry of default, which is somewhat in likely as judges don't tend to look kindly on getting the raspberry from litigants). If they appealed, they could PROBABLY/POSSIBLY get a stay on the execution of the judgment, which would allow them to keep a domain operating for a time.
Please note, the above is completely from the hip analysis and is not legal advice, yadda yadda yadda...
