Email I received today:

Bodog is finally open to poker players in Canada.

One of the largest sites in the world, Bodog offers plenty of action on the felts, including its weekly $100,000 Guaranteed, which features a massive overlay every week.


How are the games there? Worth opening an account?

If it's good enough for a young internet scamming multi-accounter and a foot fetish porn star, it's got to be good enough for Canadians

This is great for Bodog. Canadians will go crazy in their casino games without fear of repercussions in afterlife due to their lack of a soul.

As a Canadian myself, so no direct experience, I have heard good things about the softness of play, but it is 4 tables max per player.

If you do sign up, make sure to pm Kurt (Suited_Up) as his rakeback site can hook you up with a vip deal.

Why are you arguing about which is better? That's like arguin over wether it's better to be stabbed to death or shot to death.

You still lose

Bodog poker is soft from what I've seen the few times I've played there. I don't suggest you use their sportsbook though.

I've cashed out 5-6 times and only had one issue. The first few times it was Western Union and it went fine. The last time I cashed out they sent me a check and it bounced, but they quickly made good by sending it WU. Software is improved and the bad play makes up for it. This should help with the traffic, can be pretty slow at some limits.

You do have a point Kurt, I did have some good mirco brews that are very good that are American, and chrozzo's beer thread is actually pretty good info in it. It's just some of the more famous brands don't live up to there billing. Plus when I am in the States I do try the different beers out, so don't worry I do my test tasting out. I just find that the mirco breweries are much better than the bigger companies.

Unless things have changed, Bodog is not compatible with pokertracker

The software is mindnumbingly boring, but the games are soft.

Set up your rakeback account before downloading the software.

Figured someone would ask... From what I've seen their odds are always off from other books that I refer too like 5dimes, pinnacle, or looking at most books at wagerline (compare some of the lines psu and I use on the same games). I've had the lines change on me when I logged in because they knew what kind of bettor I was so the lines were shifted in a direction*. It could be that the line changed in this example from the 10 seconds I was logged out to when I was logged in but there have been more drastic changes. I don't know if that's standard with books. Also, they always seemed to have more juice on the games that I was interested in and their lines were always the slowest to come out (matters more with baseball and totals are still not up for this week's college games)

* Small example

Me not logged in


Team a
-14 (-105)

team b
+14 (-115)

It wouldn't surprise me at all if they offer different odds to different bettors based on certain patterns in that bettors history. If somebody only bets dogs then they would offer worse odds on the dogs as an example.

It wasn't really about which is better, just that there are so so so many good American beers. But yes, Belgian ones are very good.
