It seems that Bodog is one of the fishiest rigged online poker websites.
My own experience has been that it favours bad poker playing.
Others have reported on forums they went into a big losing streak when they withdrew funds.
Bodog to me looks like it’s run by organised crime. It’s stationed in Costa Rica, where they make their own rules up. Then it turned out that ‘bodog.com’ was owned by someone else….and now they’re being kicked out of Costa Rica by the government who are being pressured by the US government.
Another scam factor of the online poker, apart from being in dodgy countries with lax rules, is they can in fact juice the cards for action, greating bigger pots and in turn, bigger rakes. Computers can’t generate random numbers either, hence anomolies.
Another poker site that has become under scrutiny is Absolute poker, after an inhouse employee gained access to the cards of all players and screwed the $1000 tournament.
So, online poker definitely seems tricky and a legal online gambling scam.
