i bit on romney at 2-1 for $20. not a lot but enough to give me a rooting interest. i think perry fever will fade. i'd put fair odds at perry self destructing close to 5/4.

palin isn't running. i'd bet huntsman to win the dem nomination at 12/1 before i bet those odds on the republican nomination. paul is 1-5 to be the libertarian nominee. bachman carries the burden of being a weirder female rick perry. does anyone think giuliani is running? or care if he does? and everyone else is below the giuliani line.

$20 is the same amount i bet on the eagles less the 10.5 wins at -110. so +200 looks great.

On a completely different topic are you concerned about the feds shutting down bodog during fball season. Im debating whether or not to put any money into my account since I'm already out 500 from FullTilt getting shutdown>,

I'll take a Ron Paul / Newt Gingrich exacta box for $2...

Everyone except Romney and Bachmann are underlays.

take a look at their web address. they're no longer bodog.com. they're bodog.eu. that change was made right after the feds siezed the domain names for fulltilt and absolute.

it's supposed to have put the domain name outside the reach of the feds.

i don't think i'll ever be 100% sure of anything after fulltilt but it seemed like an acceptable risk to me.

the side benefit of being forced to play there was finding out that some of the worst poker players on the internet habituate their card room. it's like 2001 again when everyone who watched wpt decided to open a poker account. very low traffic though compared to the dedicated poker sites.

Doesnt it seem like an inordinate amount of bad beats on the river happen at bodog?

Used to happen a lot at Full Tilt. It's the biggest reason I quit playing online.

no. it's human nature to remember the one's that hurt and forget the one's that benefit. i hear that complaint about every online site. i've never understood how it would benefit the operator to have the card fall be non-random.

and bad beats are just the tax you pay for playing against inferior players. if they always lost they'd stop playing.

funding was difficult because you can't make cash deposits from the u.s.. I had use a visa card and take the hit for a cash advance to get money on.

withdrawals are by check and take about 2 weeks with an additional hold at your bank when you make the deposit.

way harder than things used to be but not intolerable.

I don't think she really meant that as a joke.

I remember when you posted about that when they froze the website - I'm sorry to hear you never got your money back.

[Riot]

I wouldn't take less than 20-1 on Perry
