Bo Dog casino

[green monster]

i saw this sportsbook on another handicapping site advertising a 40% bonus on deposits. has anyone ever heard anything good or bad regarding Bo Dog casino?

OK, this is simple, even though it's exactly what you DON'T want to hear.

A book that offers 40% bonuses CANNOT AFFORD TO STAY IN BUSINESS. Is that simple enough? Do you WANT to send your money to a book that CANNOT STAY AFLOAT?

These bonuses are the most dangerous thing going in this business. The competition is fierce down here, and just throwing open the doors isn't enough to get a strong enough customer base to compete. A book has to stand out from the crowd to get customers.

For many books, that means make a name for yourself: PAY EVERYONE PROMPTLY, offer a wide variety of bets, have clerks who understand English, etc. The sponsors of this site all meet these standards.

A book like the one you mentioned (I've never heard of it) can't boast these things. Well, they can boast, but you don't have to believe them. You've got no reason to WANT to believe them.

But that 40%? You WANT to believe that, eh? It's easy to believe in something that you WANT to believe in.

Just remember, THE BEST BONUS IS GETTING PAID. Of course, those who have no intention of paying you can promise the most.

Go with a book someone's heard of. Go with one of the sponsors of this site.

And if you think I'm getting paid to shill for them, you couldn't be more wrong. I work for one of their competitors! But I've got too much respect for Sonny to allow myself to smear my spam in here (man, it's ripping my heart out to send you to a book that isn't the one I work at!).

One last note on the 40% thing: I've seen some books advertise that if they give 20% for signup, 10% to re-up, and 10% to refer a friend, then that's like getting 40% (20+10+10). At least they're making promises they can hope to keep. But anyone who pitches mumbo-jumbo doubletalk like that can go fly a kite.

From what I have learned , if these books offer 10% they are the good ones , when they get to these ridiculous numbers (40%)they are probably a fly by night book. Another good indicator is the presence of a 1-800 number on the web site. If they have that it is a little more reputable. You can also go to www.osga.com (http://www.osga.com) they monitor off shore gaming and give there list of recomended and blacklisted books. I hope this helps

They no longer have the 40% bonus; when they did, I got paid promptly, as did as a friend that I referred. They were under the same auspices as the Big Book, which give 30% bonuses on the same day of the week, Thursday, and they also paid promptly. Evidently they decided that was just a little TOO generous and cut it down to a meager 10%, or 20% matchplay, which is roughly equivalent.

A *MEAGER* 10%???

My word, they pay, and they GIVE you money?

You should kiss 'em on the mouth!

Bobby, I understand what you're saying; I've lived in Las Vegas for 15 years, and I've seen sports book supervisors start looking around to call security when I asked for a buffet ticket after making a lot of bets there. If you'd told me 2.5 years ago I'd ever have had an offshore account I'd have laughed in your face, and when I first got 10% and got paid I thought I'd died and gone to heaven, but in the 2 years since then I've consistenty received more than 10% and gotten paid in a timely fashion all that time with ONE exception: a book went belly up owing me, I went to the organization that it was a member of, and they quickly found another member to take over my account, giving me a nice (far greater than 10%) bonus on that occasion as well. I'd be the first to say I don't understand how some of these joints pay the bonuses they do-maybe they're laundering drug money down there-when Vegas whines & moans over making it on 4.5%, but they do, and they have, for over 2 years now for me.
