Bovada Sports Overview
The Bovada Sportsbook, formerly Bodog Sports, is one of the premiere places to gamble on sporting events online today. Bovada is the US-friendly brand of Bodog, and as such is one of the few sites to allow Americans to play poker, gamble in their casino, and bet on sports.
The sportsbook itself resembles many other online books. Players can sign into their accounts and wager from their web browser. Simply navigate to sports.bovada.lv and go from there. The sportsbook allows players to wager on popular games like Soccer, Basketball, American Football, Baseball, and MMA fighting. Those who enjoy gabmling on more obscure sports will be happy to find lines available on cricket matches, dart events, and even the 2012 Olympic Games. In general, players can wager on a point spread, moneyline, and over/under for each game or event. Bettors can also place money on parlays, teasers, and other round-robin type bets. If there is a sporting event in the world you would like to bet on, Bovada more than likely has you covered.
Bovada.lv Software Interface/ Usability
Navigating from one sport to another is very easy at Bovada. Players can use the “+” sign next a certain sports name to open up all the options for that particular game. The lines that are available will appear on the screen, allowing players to select which particular side they would like to wager on. Once that side is selected, players merely have to enter their bet amount into the Bet Slip section on the right side of the screen. Even better, the Bet Slip will remember all of your bets, allowing you to jump from one sport to another without having to place your final wager until you are ready.
If you happen to win, Bovada will automatically credit your account with the appropriate funds. Players can find that information at the top-right of the screen under the “My Account” tab.

Bovada Sports Bonus & Other Promotions
The Bovada Sportsbook bonus is a 50% up to $250 Free Bet. For example, players depositing $100 will receive a $50 free bet to be wagered on any sport, wager type, or odds. This non-restrictive bonus is much better than other sites who only allow free bets on certain games and odds. In order to withdrawal after accepting a bonus, players must wager their deposit plus bonus three times in the sportsbook. The player receiving a $50 bonus on a $100 deposit will have to bet $450 on any sport(s) before cashing out. A player gaining the full bonus will have deposited $500, requiring them to wager $2,250 before withdrawing funds.
The bonus expires in 30 days, which is plenty of time to wager the deposit and bonus amount three times. Even if you lose the free bet, you will have to clear the bonus before withdrawing funds. If you choose to cash out before meeting the requirements, Bovada will deduct the bonus amount from your check.
