Okay, sorry, I got a little carried away. Anyway, here's how it works: Email a picture of a Bodog online poker table (with you logged in) to . On July 1, 2009, I'll pick a random winner from all those who entered.
Your
picture should look something like the one shown at right,
you should be logged in, and your screen name should be
legible.
Now, you may be thinking, "But what if I don't have a Bodog account?!" Jeez, keep your panties on. You can sign up for a free account at Bodog. (And if you have a Mac (like me), you're in luck, because Bodog now has a new web-based poker client that's Mac-compatible.)
So now you're thinking, "But what if I don't want to gamble online?" No problem, Bodog lets you play friendly games with fake money. (Just click the "Play money only" box.)
And now you might ask, "But what if I don't know how to play poker?" That's okay too -- you won't actually be playing in the game unless you click the "Sit Here" button. So if you don't want to play, just enter the poker room but don't "sit down".
And at this point you might be asking, "So how do I take a screenshot of my screen?" Jesus Christ, you ask a lot of questions! Taking a picture with a digital camera is fine, but if you don't have one, then here are detailed instructions on how to take a screenshot with your computer. Are you happy now?
The winner gets free shipping of the table to anywhere in the continental U.S. Outside of that, I'll pay the first $200 of the shipping costs, and the winner will pay the rest.
Incidentally, the table is currently being held for me in Las Vegas by the legendary Wizard of Odds, and I can likely get him to throw in an autograph when he sends it off.
Every few days I'll post the current number of entries on the front page of this website so you can see how tough the competition is. The info page about the drawing went live on June 18, by the way.
I'm estimating the value of this table to be $599. Lucky you, because prizes worth $600 or more are taxable to U.S. taxpayers, so if you win this prize, it's tax-free.
About
the tableThis is a genuine Bodog table, meaning it came straight from their offices. Unfortunately nobody knows what this particular table was used for. That's because they unloaded a few of these tables which had been used for differentt things when they were moving offices across the country, and there was some employee turnover too when they did the move (and then there were some layoffs last year too), so the short of it is, we know it's a Bodog table, but we don't know who played on it or even whether they were naked when they did so. I can tell you that this was not one of the ones used on TV, because that style of table is a little different. Also, Bodog changed the felt on the table before they sent it to me. (They changed it from "Bodog.com" to just plain "Bodog" because at the time they'd lost their domain name and had to use BodogLife.com. Recently they got their domain name back, but the table felt was already changed. Still, "Bodog" is a lot more aesthetic on the table than "Bodog.com".)
The table weighs about 200 pounds, omigod, and is about 8' long, 4' wide, and 2.5' high. And yes, the legs are completely removable.
Here's a picture of the table.

Intelligent Bonuses |

Many online casinos give you a big matching bonus when you sign up and make a deposit, but there's a catch. You have to do a lot of betting before you're allowed to cash out your winnings, and play on the most popular games doesn't count! It's common for blackjack, craps, baccarat, roulette, and Jacks or Better to be excluded. Sometimes it's everything but slots. And sometimes you can't even find the fine print. Many casinos put their 100% bonus in big screaming letters but make you hunt all over the site to find the rules. That's why Bodog is a welcome relief. They allow play on just about every game to count towards the wagering requirement (everything except Pontoon and Caribbean 21). It's that simple. Just no opposite betting, like both red & black on roulette at the same time. All casinos ought to be as easy as Bodog about this. Bodog's signup bonus is a modest 10%, but it's simple. The wagering requirement in order to cash out the bonus is 15x the deposit plus the bonus, and play on just about every game satisfies the requirement. Finally, at some other casinos if they think you're abusing their bonus offers, they'll actually seize your winnings. Frankly, that's criminal. But if Bodog suspects you of bonus abuse they'll still pay you, they just might not offer you any future bonuses.
