are bodogs lines getting less dog friendly?

The last month or so it seems that Bodog's lines are the same as Betjm or cris every time I log in. I used to always get a 1/2 or point better on Dogs on every TV game? Has anyone else noticed this?

bodog uses dual lines and you probably get the line shaded to a dog bettor now

I have heard this for years so I have always check the Bodog lines before I login to my account. Not saying these guys don't do this but I have never found a different line after I did login and made a bet. Having said this, I use Bodog for probably less than 5% of my wagers. Just my 2 cents.

same way for me...

you prob do have the square lines...
but you can try comparing your lines to the lines at sbrlines

that's the only way to tell...you can't just by logging in

even if its not dual lines

bodog used to feast off the average joe who sees their commercials on espn, deposits some money, bets on all favorites until his money is gone. since they get alot of this, their usually have better dog lines

since the state of offshore gambling has changed, alot of sharper gamblers are turning to financially sound books like bodog, evening out the action, thus giving them more dog money and bringing their lines back down to normal. ppl who booked at pinny, wwts, etc had to go somewhere, bodog is catching some of that action.

I've heard this about Bodog for years as well, but I've used them for years for some of my action. (act no 30811) I also keep a log of my wagers and have for 15 years way back to the days using locals. I really don't think I have a tendancy to bet dogs or favorites, with the exception of baseball where I bet dogs almost exclusively, but I seldom use bodog for bases. So I never believed the dual lines stuff. But that certainly doesn't mean it isn't true.

I really thought with the contraction of books out there, they might be getting burned by always being dog heavy....just wondered if anyone had noticed the recent trend of them being almost the same in every situation as the other A rated books?
