Has there ever been a better time to bet on sports? This recent explosion in mainstream popularity has put sports betting at the front and centre of the fan experience, bringing millions of new players into the betting market. While most of these newcomers will be throwing a few dollars here and there, a select few will join the high roller club, quickly vaulting through the ranks of our Bodog Rewards program and earning VIP status with their big bets.
Whether you’re one of our newly-anointed VIPs here at Bodog Sportsbook, or you’ve built up your bankroll over time by placing sharp bets, you’re looking for a premium gambling experience with maximum benefits. There are hundreds of sports betting strategies out there to choose from, but few of them cater to your specific needs as a VIP. Let’s change that now by presenting our top five tactics to help you get the most value from your sports bets here at Bodog.
1. Try Different Bet Types
Bankroll management is important for all bettors, but to build and maintain your VIP status, you have to put in the volume. That means bigger bets more frequently. If you’re already hitting the maximum limit for one wager, you’ll need to find something else to bet on.
Sharp VIP bettors have already diversified their portfolios by placing multiple “exotic” bets like parlays and player props. These are popular bets with just about everyone, especially those high-rollers who are in it for the entertainment – as every sports bettor should be. But you can also make a buck or two off these exotics, even if they’re not as straightforward as grinding out a profit on point spreads and totals.
In the meantime, you’ll get the added enjoyment of trying something new. Have you ever given live betting a shot? How about the horses? Take the plunge and see how many different wagers we have waiting for you on our main odds page here at Bodog.
2. Request Special Bets and Limits
Joining our VIP club means you get special treatment, so why not take advantage? If there’s a bet that you’d like to make, but you don’t see it on our Bodog odds board, just contact our Customer Service team. As a VIP member, you’ll be placed at the front of the line, and we’ll be happy to help. We can also talk about lifting our usual betting maximum for certain wagers, and other exclusive perks for high rollers.
Even if you’re happy with our full spectrum of bets here at Bodog, you’ll receive proper VIP treatment without having to ask. You’ll get higher transaction limits on your deposits and withdrawals, and faster turnaround times – especially when you use crypto to move your funds around. Add in all those weekly rewards and bonuses, and you’ll have multiple streams of money pouring into your bankroll.
3. Use Performance Dashboards and Leaderboards
Not every VIP wants their name in lights, but isn’t that half the fun of being a Very Important Person? Leaderboards will be familiar to our players at Bodog Poker and Bodog Casino; you’ll often find them at Bodog Sportsbook as well for special betting contests. These leaderboards are a great way to show the world who’s boss – and to keep track of your performance.
Speaking of which, we also have a number of handy dashboards that you can use to monitor your progress here at Bodog. The Rewards Dashboard, for example, shows your current Rewards Tier level and how many rewards points you need to maintain that vaunted VIP status. Knowledge is power, so use these leaderboards and dashboards to become a more powerful sports bettor.
4. Use the Cash Out
Risk management becomes even more important when you’re betting large sums of money. If you’ve placed a significant wager on a game and you feel the need to pump the brakes – maybe your intuition is telling you something, or maybe outside events have impacted you in some way – you can hit the Cash Out button and get your payout.
This feature isn’t just useful for salvaging part of a wager you think is going wrong. It can also help you lock in a profit. Maybe your chosen team is ahead at halftime for the Super Bowl, but your gut (and/or your research) is telling you they’re prone to late-game collapses. No problem: hit that “Cash Out” button, and you’ll be in the black no matter what happens in the second half.
One important thing to keep in mind with the Cash Out feature is that it’s available only for single bets (spreads, moneylines and totals) and parlays at Bodog Sportsbook. You can see which of your wagers are eligible to cash out, and what the payouts would be, by viewing your bet slip.
5. Claim Your Rewards
We often emphasize to our new players the importance of claiming the Bodog Welcome Bonus as a way to beef up bankrolls while learning the ropes about sports betting. As one of our VIP players, you won’t have quite the same concerns when it comes to staying solvent, but there are still valuable rewards for you to claim – including our special Welcome Offer exclusively for new VIP members.
You never know what bonuses might pop up in your inbox. Concert tickets? Fancy bling? A first-class party experience, limo and bottle service included? It all depends on what you’re bringing to the table as a VIP sports bettor. Visit Bodog Sportsbook today to find out more about all of the perks you’re entitled to and how to claim them. We also have a vast treasure trove of articles to help bettors of all levels master the art of sports betting, so keep reading, keep learning, and keep being Very Important.
