Reason #1 why the Wizard likes Bodog:
Excellent customer support
The thing that separates Bodog from the rest is its customer support. Many other online gaming companies outsource their support. It can be difficult getting a response from them, and if you do it is often slow and handled by somebody with little understanding of gambling or even of English. But Bodog's support is handled by Bodog, and their support staff is actually knowledgeable and helpful.
I'm so confident that you'll have a good experience with Bodog that if you have a problem getting paid and you can't resolve it with them on your own, I'll talk to them myself. I personally have known the Bodog management for about three years and always found them to be professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I have also personally visited one of their call centers so I could see first-hand how they handle customer issues. (More on my mediation service.)
If you have a problem with any other casino besides Bodog, I can't help you. I get complaints from players of other online casinos every day who have difficulty getting paid. However that isn't my job nor my problem. If you play at Bodog after clicking through my site I'll stand behind you 100%. Any place else and you're on your own. (Visit Bodog)

British Columbia House Way
Last update: ?
This is the house way I believed used in all casinos in British Columbia, Canada. It was found it at the British Columbia Lottery Corporation web site, but the particular link to the house way was removed or changed.
- NO PAIR: Use the highest card in the high hand then use second and third highest cards in
the low hand.
- ONE PAIR: Use the pair in the high hand and the next highest cards for the low hand.
- TWO PAIRS: When splitting, always play the lowest pair in the low hand.
Low Pair = 2’s through 6’s
Medium Pair = 7’s through 10’s
High Pair = Jacks through Kings
a) Low with Low/Medium: Split unless holding a King/Queen or King/Jack or
better, then play two pairs in high hand.
b) Low with High: Split unless holding an Ace, then play two pairs in high
hand.
c) Medium with Medium: Split unless holding an Ace, then play two pairs in
high hand.
d) High with Medium/High: Always split.
e) Aces with any Pair: Always split.
- THREE PAIRS: Use the highest pair for the low hand.
- THREE OF A KIND: Always play in high hand.
Exception: Split three aces, leaving a pair of aces in the high hand.
- (TWO) THREE OF A KIND: Split the highest three of a kind to use in the low hand.
RULES OF PLAY
- STRAIGHT, FLUSH, STRAIGHT FLUSH, ROYAL FLUSH:
With No Pair: Keep as high hand.
Given a choice to play a Straight, Flush or Straight Flush, play whichever high hand will
allow the highest cards in the low hand.
Exceptions:
a) Having a five-card Straight or Straight Flush, which is Ace high
and includes a Joker, play two Aces (Ace and Joker) in the high hand with
the next highest cards in the low hand.
b) Exception: In the case of a six or seven card Straight or Straight Flush,
which is Ace high and includes a Joker, then play the lower Straight (9
through King or 8 through Queen) in the high hand with the Ace, King or
Ace, other card in the low hand.
With One Pair: Play pair in low hand if a Straight, Flush or Straight Flush can be
preserved in high hand. If not, play the same as No Pair.
Exceptions:
a) With an Ace (or Joker) and a pair of 10’s through Kings, play Ace (or Joker) in low hand and the pair in the high hand.
With Two Pairs: Use “Two Pairs” rule.
With Three Pairs: Use “Three Pairs” rule.
With Three of a Kind: Split the Three of a Kind, giving a pair in the low hand and
maintaining the Flush or Straight in the high hand.
With Full House: Use “Full House” rule.
- FULL HOUSE: In virtually all cases a Full House plus two odd cards are split, with the pair in
the low hand.
Exception: With a Full House where the pair is 2’s and the odd cards are an Ace and a
King, then play the Ace, King in the low hand maintaining the Full House in the high
hand.
Exceptions:
With a Full House and a Pair, play the highest Pair in the low hand.
- FOUR OF A KIND (with three odd cards):
2, 3, 4, 5, 6’s never split, keep in high hand;
7, 8, 9, 10’s split, unless there is an Ace to play in low hand;
J, Q, K, A’s always split.
