Summary (6.33)
Bodog has been quite successful as a
casino and sport book since 1995. In September of 2004 their gaming operations
were expanded through the addition of Bodog Poker. As with many popular casino
and sport book companies who later ad poker, the overall competition is soft
with a great deal of players with limited poker experience. Bodog also does a
great job attracting novice players from their large television media campaigns.
Overall a solid tight aggressive player has a large window of profit opportunity
at Bodog Poker.
