bodog is such a joke (with a screen shot)

The OP was smart and thinking enough to take at least two screenshots but not wise enough to figure out a way to get the money out. Hmmmmmmmmm, what's wrong with this story? He's either the world's biggest idiot or just a simple liar.

How about this genious? You should have simply done a cashout of say somewhere between $5,000 and $9,000. Wait and see if the check get there and keep your freaking mouth shut in the mean time. If the check gets there and cashes you are ahead you can not lose. If they catch it, just say opps, I am sorry, I don't know what I was doing. Just play them dumb like they played you (with the little $10 reward) and like they are playing all of us with their 30 to 60 day cashout bullcrap.

I guess if a million dollars fell out of the back of brinks truck and nobody saw you pick it up, you would give the money back instead of just laying low and spending a little at time, cautiously and carefully.

Do you realize you just dunked off 1.3 million? They would have never caught it and you could have got $9,000 checks every month for a very long time. Even if they catch you after the first time you are still ahead. And as far as blacklisting you, that's simple, use the the money to get your name changed. Get it changed to DumbF**k StupidA**

I bet you if you had done something really stupid like killing your wife and chopping her up like this guy here in michigan, you probally would have lied about and not confess to that. Yeah, where are your morals then?

getting the upper hand on a casino is not ill moral. They rob millions of dumb sucks like you every year. They just call it gambling instead of robbing or conning. It takes brains and stylish to beat the casion at their own game, neither of which you have. Have you not seen Oceans 11? Why don't you take that ten bucks and go see the movie LOL. I guess that's why bodog gave it to you in the first place LOL.

wow, the replies in this thread are staggeringly stupid

It always lifts my spirits to read threads like this cuz I realize the average 2p2er is a [censored] moron, which goes a long way towards explaining why poker is still so profitable even tho its populated by "knowledgeable" people.

ok, ill reply and get back in the mix a little bit here.

i did a couple things over the past few days. i emailed bodog support, and attempted to contact calvin ayre via myspace. ill cut and paste most of it, im gonna leave out any number/tracking info stuff, b/c i dont know how that stuff works, but ill get all the text in.


also, there have been a few people in here calling me a liar. i understand that my tale sounds fabricated. but if you insist in pushing this view, all i ask is for you to put your money where your mouth is. i think i can handle any action that comes my way, and i think we can find a suitable escrow.

ok heres the myspace correspondence:
fair enough, it wasn't my money, i am not entitled to anything. i did ask for a reward, though i did not ask for money. all i asked for was a faster way to get my money out. waiting a month for a check is a little absurd.

Call me old fashioned, but I subscribe to doing the right thing without asking for a reward.

I will have my team review this, but we don't usually pay someone for not stealing from us. The majority of our players would do what you did and get the mistake corrected. This puts you in a good catagory and you should be proud of that.

Thanks,

Calvin

i know u probably dont read this, but if u do, hey, what the hell. i play poker at ur site, you guys made a very very very very big mistake with my account in my favor, i promptly notified bodog, and for my effort i got ten bucks. heres the link

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.comxxx...xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

i would suggest that u look at the way people thought i should have handled the situation, then look at your response. what if u make the same mistake to some one not as honest as me, is this the precedence u want to be setting? my mesage is gettin out there a little, and could extend further.


thank you for ur time,
jxxxxxxxx


and heres the correspondence with email support:

Dear xxxxxxx,

Thank you for contacting Bodog Poker Customer Service.

We're sorry to hear that you feel unappreciated with how the situation
was handled. We would like to
apologize for the confusion as this was truly our mistake. In no way
was that $10 player comp was meant as
a form of disrespect. The $10 bonuses was meant as a thank you for
notifying us in advance of the mistake
and correcting the problem propmtly rather then have our accounting
department take care of it. If you
have any question please feel free to contact us at 1-866-909-2237.

Thank you again for writing. If you require any further assistance,
please do not hesitate to contact us.

sorry i forgot my reply to the myspace message:

p.s. i don't enjoy doing this, i don't want attention. but i do think it is informative.

[Mitch Evans]

Err... you actually emailed Calvin? Why? To him, it makes you look like you're asking for a hand out; to 2+2, it makes you look silly. Why would you care if anyone believes you? I think Calvin summed up the thread perfectly when he said, " ...we don't usually pay someone for not stealing from us."

It would be funny if he decided to tell his team to take back the $10.

BODOG obviously doesn't give a crap about anybody but themselves. Learn from the mistake and if you ever get another chance, make sure you reciprocate.

The Farmer and the Snake
ONE WINTER a Farmer found a Snake stiff and frozen with cold. He had compassion on it, and taking it up, placed it in his bosom. The Snake was quickly revived by the warmth, and resuming its natural instincts, bit its benefactor, inflicting on him a mortal wound. "Oh," cried the Farmer with his last breath, "I am rightly served for pitying a scoundrel."

best line here would have been to cash out your 1k, then reevaluate.
