Is Bodog dishonest? You make the call
EXCEPT
Gio Ponti isn't running in the Breeders Cup Classic this year. He's running in the Turf Mile. And Paddy O'Prado isn't running in the Turf Classic. He's running in the regular classic.
So the question is: Is Bodog dishonest for having these odds posted? Or is it the player's responsibility to know everything before wagering? Or both?
I'll have all of my Breeders' Cup picks up tomorrow, so you can laugh when I go 0-14.
What's the TOS say about this sort of thing?
I would assume that, once discovered, just like a horse that gets scratched, any bets with that horse (including combination bets) get cancelled and the money returned.
If that's the case, then what has Bodog to gain by being dishonest?

Quote: fabianbransonThere must be some internal problem on your system, or there could be some temporary problem on the bodog server. Otherwise bodog is a good site to play online casino games. It is considered among the top best sites to play casino games like poker, blackjack, baccarat or craps. So try again, it will definitely work fine next time or so.
No, it won't. I've used it on and off for years and always get the same results.
I'm fairly new to blackjack, still learning basic strategy and card counting basics, so maybe I'm missing something.
Bodog has 2 "new" blackjack games, 1-deck blackjack and 2-deck blackjack. I thought I would use the practice version of the 1-deck game to practice and hone my card counting, when I noticed that after 52 cards were played I was never anywhere near 0. So I started paying attention to each card to see how often they were played. Within the first 3 hands I'm seeing cards that are replayed. Because I wasn't able to find any procedures in the rules on Bodog's site, I'm now questioning if I understand exactly what 1-deck blackjack is and how its played. I was under the impression that the deck would be played all the way through before being reshuffled, or at least past the 3rd hand! I tried to search for posts on this subject before posting my own but couldn't find any. Please help. Thanks
I do know you'll never find any deck games that play out an entire deck or shoe, which is why you'll always here discussions about "penetration" when describing different joints.
It seems Bodog is simulating real ife.

Counting is useless on a site like Bodog as they either shuffle every hand or randomly shuffle.
Quote: sam76...well then what's the point of calling it "1-deck blackjack"
There is only one of each card that will possibly appear on a single hand.
Quote: FaceI do believe it's common practice in normal casinos to only play a few hands in single/double deck games.

Granted, but the practice game I use TELLS me it's shuffling.

No card can reappear before reshuffle. Doc, I underverbosed you by 9 words. Why? Your a good guy and teasable. Now tell me why someone insists I misspelled "teasable?"

You also misspelled "underverbosed" ;)

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/teasable says otherwise but maybe you know better. The other word I misspelled on purpose because I created it. Did you not understand my intended meaning?

I did understand the meaning, and appreciated it too. Firefox spell checker did not know the word, and highlighted it as misspelled. I thought, it would be funny to mention it, that's all.
It highlights teasable too ... I thought, that was what you meant by "someone" telling you it was misspelled.

There you go...and it shouldn't be shuffling after the second hand, right?
BTW, which 1-deck practice game is this that you speak of? I didn't notice Bodog's 1-deck telling me anything.

I did mean that firefox was telling me it was misspelled. But the Google search bar on top right of firefox screen thought the word was spelled OK. That's where I got the link.

I took it as ridicule which was my mistake. So I retaliated against, not an enemy, but a friend. Sorry about that.
