They are just seizing a website location. They don't get anything from the sportsbook. Bookmaker was up at a new direction within an hour. Bodog has been at their new locations (bodog.eu and bovada.lv) for a year now. Someone at the DOJ is fucking retarded.

This was a 2 year investigation, they aren't going to let a little thing like them having an inactive site mean anything.
 
This calvinayre.com "reporter" is a hoot:

The DOJ is almost counting on the media’s unfamiliarity with the nuances of the industry in order to make their actions look more consequential and almost heroic in the eyes of the public.

Had the media analyzed the statement made by William Winter, Special Agent in Charge of ICE HSI in Baltimore they might have a question or two. Winter said, “(this) sends a strong deterrent message to those that facilitate illegal online sports betting operations and commit crimes against our nation’s financial system.” The kids at Occupy Wall Street will remind us that there are currently zero (0) bankers sitting in a prison cell for skull fucking the financial system out of trillions of dollars and creating a global recession.

Also left unchallenged was Winter’s statement that “The proceeds from illegal Internet gambling are SOMETIMES [emphasis added] used to fuel organized crime and support criminal activity.” Just like how SOMETIMES the DoJ itself facilitates crime — like the small arsenal of deadly weaponry that went missing during the ATF’s Fast And Furious operation (that insane shipping guns to Mexico thing, of which the DoJ was well aware). These guns have now been linked to hundreds of crimes, including the slaying of a US border guard in Arizona.

If the media took the time to explore the nuances of the industry, they would realize that after a seven-year investigation, seizing a mothballed domain name and unsealing an indictment with only two very shaky charges would not only be a disappointment, it represents an appalling ROI for US taxpayers.

As anyone who watched The Wire understands, Maryland is not lacking in actual criminals committing often extremely violent crimes against its citizens. What is in short supply are the resources necessary to effectively combat such crimes. When you consider the multi-year taxpayer-funded investigation into Bodog’s efforts to pay out winnings (the nerve of them!) to its winning bettors, and all the man-hours, equipment and money that didn’t go into addressing some of Maryland’s real problems…

From where this reporter is sitting, don’t cry for Bodog; save your tears for the people of Maryland.

why are you asking now? Did something happen that I missed?

No.

Durito's being cheeky because he knows that nothing is going to happen.

Seriously I don't know much about anything even though I overtype when I get happy to be here. I actually log in many times a day and just read what everyone says but sometimes I just blurt.

However on this one particular subject, I know. Doesn't take a brainiac to figure out why. If anyone is scared about their bovada balances they should sell them to duriot. No way though your money is in danger. I couldn't care less if this was an Rx book. I know the laws about this one particular situation and they have no hope unless Ayre's a complete dingo. And he's not. The fact that he said Manilla a year ago and their non treaty with the US and their history of always telling the US to fu, is enough. It's done. The headlines were made, some people misinterpreted the poker facts and attributed them to Bodog...but he's not going back there. I promise: Daffy, Senco, myself, duriot, etc we could go buy a sweet joint anywhere in the world. If we took our kids without our spouses permission, we'd be back in like a month. Not this shit. No Hague and can't force them to care.

I'm so lost. I have a bodog account that isn't limited yet. I'd like to use that account till it's limited. Is this a bad idea? Or are people freaking out b/c of recent news and think the book is going to dissappear?

don't listen to durito :lmao:

they haven't even tried to seize bovada accounts (where you're playing now regardless of where you live)

this is a 7yo investigation that the papers finally got unsealed because they wrapped their shit up in jan '12

were you playing at bodog in jan 12? no one was... and apparently some guy jacked their name 3yrs ago (didn't know that until yesterday)

you have been been betting with Morris Morris Matty Major Minor Meatball in Canada since NYE. This indictment has absolutely nothing to do with you.

That's why duriot is hanging to buy.
 
I am not suggesting money is safe at Bodog, I just dont see it as any less safe than it was on Monday.

I mean DOJ seized bookmaker accounts in Panama and Portugal. Its not like they dont do whatever they want in any country.
 
Durito I'm sorry, but I don't want to give you my account. I'm still having fun playing with props and luckily haven't been forced up a level into modeling. Even though I am learning how to price points in random markets like TTs which has been fun.
