Marketing and Brand: Bodog's online and offline marketing strategy has been very aggressive, and odds are if you bet on sports you've already heard of them.

Added too this is an entertaining array of style and beautiful women to make the overall gaming experience not only thrilling but also easy on the eyes.

Prices: Marketing and good looks make the experience a little more fun for bettors perhaps, but that won't save a racebook that can't compete on prices or can't treat it's customers right. In these departments Bodog excels as well. While they cater to the recreational and small gamblers, and so have relatively low limits, their lines are extremely competitive and they offer a lot of good deals on juice. Remember to make the most of your money by keeping your eyes open for the good deals they periodically offer. Bodog doesn't hide the fact they Wiseguys are unwelcome. Their target is the "regular guy", the small and recreational bettor.

Customer Service: Bodog prides itself on the best customer service in the industry and this is borne out by our phone and email experiences. Bodog's customer service is clearly the best. Unlike many offshore sportsbooks' CS departments, Bodog's operators are N. American, college-educated, accent-less, and articulate. Calls are clear over a state-of-the-art communication system.
