Hasn't started.  Ring intros going on now.

Nice finish by A. Peterson, I knew I should have touched that under.

Mesquita not throwing as many bombs as I thought he would through 5.  Peterson boxing well right now from the outside.

.71 unit

Interesting,   do you think Bodog sort of played bettors a bit on this one- I do.   Green has often shown caution in a number of his fights.  Bodog was the only book that got it right.

No, I think they screwed up and got lucky in this one.  Their boxing department isn't sharp enough to play bettors.

Not a good beginning to the New Year. 

-2.3 units

I'd call that my 3rd most epic nite ever. 113 Parlays in total 10 went the anti bigeiii way. Which included two of the three highest ROI ones. As we had nothing but bad news all preBowl Season (Ore suspension, Hall got hurt, Cam got hurt, yada-yada-yada, while KU get well)

I agry. I fell out on bodog a long time ago.

GLA!

Just caught this and took a look at the thread.  Very nice indeed.  That was an all time prop night, those were some great hits.  113 parlays?  Unreal, I will never understand how you bet.  I thought I read at the top of the thread that you were all in on VT though suggesting that the line should have been between 15-18 points.  I loved that one prop on the non-offensive TD, they should have made a prop making the O/U 1.5 TD's, that would have been even nicer.

Interesting, I don't bet anything else besides boxing so I don't mind the football and basketball odds.  I haven't ever really taken a look at their boxing odds, because I have never heard many positive reviews on bodog.  What has your experience been like getting money out of there in the past year?

Pretty good.  I left sportsbook because of a 3-month delay on one check, and bodog gets it to you within 20 days.  At one point they were using this phone card company called NuCharge, and I was really excited because it appeared that there was the option of transferring funds to NuCharge and then using a nucharge ATM card to withdraw your money in cash immediately.  But that company fell thru after a promising first few months. 

One more Bodog story that I forgot to tell you.  Remember the Chris Edwards - Jamie McDonnel fight on the night of PBF-Hatton?  Well, Bodog had it listed as starting at 9pm ET because it was on this Wigan card that was running really late so that they would have boxing in England all the way up until PBF-Hatton.  Bodog for some reason was under the impression that Edwards-McDonnel was the main event, and I found out that Edwards won by SD about 3 hours before bodog took down the odds.  I immediately put 1.5 units on Edwards at something like +160, but I resisted putting more as I didn't want bodog to get suspicious about me suddenly changing my betting patterns on a relatively meaningless fight.  I ended up getting paid and they were never suspicious of anything.  They're dumbasses.
