As you know, Bodog always has the favorites laying a half a point or a point more more times that not. They also love to throw in -130 and -140 on you making it hard to bet that side. I have found a way to combat that a little by using teasers. The games I like this Sunday are both a ridiculous -130 and -140, so instead of laying the huge price I knocked it down by teasing them. I did have to lay -130 because i wanted the full 7 point teaser to get the numbers I liked. Anyone else like this idea?

I do not like this idea.
If you read some of my previous posts on the subject you will see I feel strongly that teasers and parlays are for suckers.
I propose the way to combat the favorite price is to have several online accounts so you can shop around for the best numbers. Bodog is a great place to bet dogs, other places are great places to bet faves.
My personal favorite online books are
BetEd
BetUS
and
The Greek
I have never bet a favorite at Bodog or sports interaction...those are sites you play the dawgs...
I thought you only played certain places because of limits on online checks?
Lots of good places to play out there if you are able to get your money in.
I am not a fan of Beted and Betus is essentially a Bodog clone. Greek is a favorite though.
I have never been paid so fast as I have been paid by Bet Ed or BetUS...No hassle at all...The Greek is solid...Mike have you ever used Bowman's
No. Bowmans is mostly credit

I thought they shut down years ago?
I best mostly dogs, so bodog is a good site for me. Only bad thing is limit on 3k Canadian check a week. Luckily I laid my bet off on the Pats and broke even. Good point about teasers Michael. I have done ok with them but have only placed a few. I usually try to middle the 2nd game if I win the first one. Thanks for your thoughts!
I use to love BoDog and those instant 10% reload bonuses and small rollovers. ;D
The good old days are long gone. :'(
Wasn't that long ago Canadians couldn't even play there so 3k a week is pretty good.
They still run those reloads from time to time Blade, just have to watch out for them

I just remember when they were 24/7 and didn't even matter if your last transaction was a withdrawal. ;D
