They should just get rid of T$12,000 and use that money to give the players from 4th-100th.

Just get top 3. You know you can.

Bodog, with the exception of their little 24 hour personal hotline, is a classic example of how not to run a business. Truly epic failure from the top all the way down to the people answering the phone.

Bodog is such a joke. The payout from my $100k win has been an absolute nightmare, still waiting on a decent sum.

Oh and the $20k at 14:00 EST on Sundays is a $15k now. WRONG DIRECTION IMO.

F Bodog.

Got to agree wit hthe 24/7 comment- but that applies to any company that says 24/7 but isnt full staffed 24/7. I've always been able to get someone to call me back tho from bodog.

Payots are flying like crazy these days. How can you still not have the money from the win? Your profile says Washington...does that make it more of a pain due to legalities?

I'd be about as bullsh** po'd as you (since I was/am waiting on parts of my $300k win) - except things have really sped up the last month or so.

pm me...

4/5/6TH PLACES ALL RECIEVE THE SAME AS 100TH PLACE??? CORRECT? THAT MAKES A TON OF SENSE BECAUSE 100TH PLACE AS PUT IN AS MUCH TIME AND EFFORT AS THOSE INSIDE THE TOP 10 IS THAT WHAT BODOG IS SAYING??? BY MAKING IT THE SMAE PAYOUT AS THE TOP 10 ESSENTIALLY THAT'S WHAT BODOG IS DOING... BODOG SHOULD JUST SHUT DOWN INSTEAD OF EMBARSSING THEMSELVES OVER AND OVER AGAIN..........

Hit em' where it hurts!!!

The hockey sports book.
Fuck Bodog btw, though they are staking me in the 100k 2mro.

Since I am not even playing the site right now and prolly won't for the rest of the year at least.

I will ask you one simple question:

Which would you rather have,

No Bodog?

or

A fiscally responsible Bodog poker room?

haha...i've played maybe 5 tournies on Bodog during the 2nd half of the year and im still ranked 55th...works for me

FIRST OFF THIS ISNT ABOUT WHAT OTHER SITES ARE DOING... 2ND HOW DO U ANNOUNCE THE PRIZES IN EARLY DEC??? AND 3RD YES IT IS OBSURD TO HAVE 4TH PLACE RECIEVE TEH SAME PRIZE AS 100TH PLACE... THYE SHOULD OF FIGURED OUT SOMETHING BETTER THAN THIS... GIVE 1ST PLACE 5400 AND ESSENTIALLY 5700 T CREDITS FOR THE 100K FOR NEXT YR... THATS OVER 10K TO FIRST, 2ND 3K AND 3RD 2K SO... TECNICALLY ITS NOT AT ALL LIKE OTHER SITES... WHEN DID stars RELEASE THEIR PRIZES???

GOTZ I sent bodog an email, we'll see who they really are and if they care about their players at all or not...

GOTZ I ALREADY SENT BODOG A PRETTY LONG EMAIL...

If it looked anything like that I doubt it will get you anywhere.

And why is it not about what other sites are doing? If pokerstars had a better one you would be ranting and raving about doing it like Stars, but since the other sites have a similar deal it's now not about what other sites do.

I agree that it could be done better, but just blowing your lid like that won't get anything done, Bodog has screwed up a lot but they also listen to their customers. When asked for Gars on the turbos and for a 6 max tourney, both were done in a matter of 24 hours.

ITS NOT ABOUT OTHER SITES BC BODOG DOESNT MAKE MONEY FROM OTHER SITES... ITS ABOUT WHAT BODOG DOES AND HOW THEY RUN THEIR SHIT!!!!

I may be venting a lot here bro, but im not retard and do know how to write an email... thanks tho...

Also, maybe you guys didn't see what I recieved last year for 17th place... yes 500 T credits... and yes this year 4th-100th place will recieve a LOUSY TLB FREEROLL... THey have continually dropped their guars in all the GOOD tourneys... I'm sorry DirDirDirty but is it not much easier to attend to a smaller tourney such as a $32 turbo in which they could give to shits about the 2k guar and $10 6 max for 1k guar... Really that has nothing positive to do with how the site is ran... If they were smart they would of left the $100 at 5 and 9 or one or the other but they took that away from all the regulars... SO NOW WE HAVE NUMEROUS 2-5K GUARS THAT CANT EVEN GET 100 PPL.... Lastly, pokerstars rewards its players for playing a ton on their site BODOG DOES NOT LOL!!!! why are u bringing in pokerstars into this, they crush BODOG....

Bodog isn't going to lose a lot of players next year due to a "weak" TLB reward system. Poker players can threaten to leave a site as much as they want. The poker rooms wear the pants in the relationship; they have what you want. This is evident in Absolute still drawing 21,000+ players to the tables today.

We all need to quit comparing Bodog to PS and FT.

Bodog has realized that there is market segmentation when it comes to online poker. There is a segment of players who love to gamble. Bodog caters to these gamblers who love poker, the sportsbook, and the casino. They are not trying to compete with PS/FT, they are managing their segment of the market.

If you're complaining, it's probably because you're not in the segment that they are ultimately focused on. The beauty about it all is that you can be a leach that hangs onto that segment, and why not? That's where the easiest, not necessarily the most, money lies.

touche, alcarmo. there is a discipline that is required to take the pants from the poker rooms, and that my friend is what the vast majority of poker players lack.
