3.

Those implications are completely inappropriate as confiscation of funds while certainyl within their rights to do if we are in violation of the T&C should not be a punitive measure for arguing with a Bodog decision (regardless of the decision itself).

Re: Bodog Warning
If this is true you should post at the EOG as well. http://www.eog.com
I would also contact their mods. They have solved these types of disputes for their members before in the past. |

[ QUOTE ] NLSoldier, That sucks. I am actually curious about your strategy though. Why did you bet on elections the way you did? How did you pick what to bet on? Also, what exactly are they claiming that you did? Were you guys betting on opposite sides of the election, so that in theory you could have been pooling your money in order to split it up after cashout? If not, I don't understand what they are accusing you of. Thanks, gm [/ QUOTE ] Strategy was simply to bet on as many of the biggest favorites as possible because the lines are apperently skewed toward the favorites b/c they know ppl will still be dumb enough to bet on the underdogs and then they make the $50 max win rule so that they dont get killed by people betting on favorites. For example: If you bet on hilary clinton to win the senate seat in NY you had to bet something like 500 to win 50. But in reality she was pretty much a mortal lock and it should have been more like 5000 to win 50. They are claiming that we were a team whose purpose was to take advantage of these bad lines by setting up mulitple accounts and betting on all the same elections. [/ QUOTE ] So you just bet on all the biggest favorites?? Did any of your approx. 20 bets LOSE? Seems like there should have been enough "sure things" to avoid losing any of them!!? Easiest 3K profit you'll ever make; how does Bodog even offer bets like this. Even at 5000 : 50, picking Hillary in NY, or the republican in any number of Southern States is free money. |

It seems to me that the whole reason they are feeding us this syndicate BS is because they got pissed when they realized how easy it was. |

weird. Ive played on bodog for about 1.5-2 years now and have never ever had a single problem with them. I get most of my cashouts within an hour, and their customer service has been pretty damn good. [/ QUOTE ] |

Re: Bodog Warning
Thank you for the 'heads up'
I think all Poker players need a united front and support our fellow poker players by withdrawing funds (if Bodog allows it)and never playing on sites where shady practises occur. The Bodog Boycott! |

Re: Bodog Warning
I would suspect that the thread in the 2+2 sports betting forum on this didn't help you much either as that thread lead to these lines getting hit by many others all at the same time. Plus, it sounded like a few others opened accounts at Bodog just to hit these lines.
To Bodog, this has to look like an organized attempt to pound their soft lines. In a way, that is what it was. The only diffence between this and a syndicate is that the syndicate pools its money. The rub is that there is no way for Bodog to know is the money is pooled or not. |
