I remember last year in the beginning of August they offered unlimited 20% bonuses up until the beginning of football season. I think we may have seen the last days of Bodog offering any cash bonus over 10%
I have won plenty of money with Bodog over the years. The book you have to worry about is Pinnacle. MANY solid bettors rarely cash out there, but cash out plenty at seemingly second-tier books. All with how Pinny shades the prices, something books like Bodog rarely do in a sophisticated manner.
Just ask around, lots of people who shop extensively rarely cash from Pinny. It doesn't matter as long as you win it elsewhere and collect. Maybe I am wrong about the well known Pinnacle lean, but what else could explain it?
on baseball, you are correct. however, my experience has been that if you can find the best line on a football game at pinnacle, you better play the other side.
