Reason I like Bodog #3:

Good Odds

Bodog online casino ad

I recommend against gambling for real money, since you'll always lose in the long run. But if you're going to gamble anyway then you might as well make your money last as long as possible, so I looked for an online casino which offers good odds.

Most online casinos are greedy when setting the odds on their games. They think they'll make more money by setting the games tighter, so the player has less chance of winning, but they're wrong. Most gamblers eventually gamble away all their playing budget anyway. They're going to lose the same amount of money no matter what, the only question is how long it takes them to do so. And when they play at a tight casino and lose quickly, they're less likely to return.

A casino which offers good odds will make just as much money as a tight casino, because the players will usually gamble away whatever they deposit anyway, no matter what the odds. The only difference is that with better odds, they'll get to play longer before they go bust. And that means they had more fun in the process, and they're more likely to return.

Bodog is one of they few casinos that understands this. They offer games with good odds, knowing that if your money lasts longer, you'll be a happier, loyal customer. Among their offerings are:

  • Two blackjack games returning over 99.8%
  • Single-0 roulette
  • Full-pay Jacks or Better (99.54%)
  • Six other video poker games returning over 99%
  • Pick 'em Poker, at 99.95%!

Why play anywhere where the odds aren't this good?

Recommended Sites

The Wizard of Odds. A professional actuary (math whiz) analyzes the games to a degree you just won't find anywhere else. Numbers junkies will love this. Also offers free video poker trainers (shows you how to play hands correctly), a free newsletter, and more. So far as we know, the Wizard is the first person on the planet to publicly reveal the return on slots once you remove the jackpot.

Big Empire. This is the only site we've ever seen (on anytopic) that's both useful and irreverent. These guys cover Vegas deals in a style that will entertain as much as inform. You owe it to yourself to read the adventures of Matt and Stinky in the hilarious Vegas on $19 a day.

Bingo Update. To me, this is the kind of site that shows the promise of the Internet. A couple of people just put a site together to share good information about a niche interest. This is so useful if this is the kind of info you're looking for. The webmasters provide the current bingo jackpots at all Vegas casinos, and update it daily. Well done!

My-Gambling.Blogspot. It's not a running journal like a regular blog, but rather it's a set of really informative gambling articles set in blog style. Very pretty, and only one banner ad per screen makes it easy on the eyes.

Ready Bet Go. More gambling articles and news than you can shake a stick at, by the most recognized authors in the business.

Poker Listings. This is the kitchen sink of poker --articles, tournament info, online casino bonus info,all expertly organized and easy to browse. What more do you want?

Bet on Charity. Now you can gamble online and have a portion of your losses support your favorite charity. A novel concept, we like it.
