Established in 1997, [[Cyberoad]] was a software company specializing in providing online betting systems. In 1998 their technology was used to launch numerous early internet sportsbooks including [[Mayan Sports]], [[The Big Book]], and [[Grand Prix Sports]], and [[The Sports Machine]].

[[Bodog]] and [[The Big Book]] used [[Kazootek Technologies]] as an accounting firm. They were the same firm managing the eBanx payment system. On June 15th, 2001 two employees of Kazootek (Viktoria Zazuolina Zazoulina and Tatiana Kostiouk) allegedly began embezzling money from company clients. The duo recruited a new employee Greg Tanner to assist them in starting a rival company using technology and funds stolen from Kazootek. [[The Big Book]] was rumored to have agreed to become a client, and allegedly began planning to steal source code from [[eSportz]]. Following an investigation, Viktoria Zazuolina Zazoulina resigned from Kazootek in the summer of 2003. [[Bodog]] announced the termination of it's partnership with The Big Book, and elected to become the sole betting site using eSportz software.

On December 14th, 2011 Morris Mohawk Gaming Group announced that it had ceased operating their involvement in all Bodog branded websites.

Betting lines are adjusted to make the square side worse to bet on relative to a high limit market. Consequently this yields a larger advantage on the opposing side. Observant bettors benefit from this by betting against the adjustments. Square markets are frequently (but not limited to) popular favorites and overs. Numerous users on-going matchinternet message boards have reported being dealt [[dual lines]] from Bovada. They observed that they no longer have access to the square lines available upon signup and are instead dealt odds resembling the broader market.
