Bodog.com (See Web Site Here)  announced today that it has suspended all wagering activity on its popular “Survivor Panama” wagering proposition, after bookmakers noticed suspicious betting patterns on one of the show’s eight remaining contestants.

Bodog.com bookmakers made the decision to take down the Survivor odds after receiving a number of maximum wagers from the same area on Danielle DiLorenzo, a 24-year-old contestant who lives in Florida. Further to this, the Bodog.com Customer Service Center received a phone call from a concerned citizen who suggested that a close associate of DiLorenzo has been leaking the information to friends.

“Our entertainment bookmakers were quick to react and investigate this incident, and although we can’t at all substantiate the claim of the person who called, the lines have been taken down as a precaution,” says Calvin Ayre, Founder and CEO of Bodog.com. “Our entertainment bets are designed to enhance the wagering and viewing experience for our customers, and it is our duty to ensure that the integrity of the lines are kept intact at all times.”

Ayre is said to have been stunned by this revelation.  He is currently in Los Angeles conducting a photo shoot for the "Rat Pack Poker Pros".

Only recently, Bodog.com announced that it had created a separate committee to monitor the betting action on reality television proposition bets. During one of the past Survivor editions, Bodog.com book managers noticed a few suspicious bets being placed on its Survivor odds. It was later revealed that a few insiders at CBS were betting heavy on one of the contestants, as they had knowledge of the winner prior to the public announcement. The maximum bet at Bodog.com on most entertainment bets, including Survivor wagers, is $100.

The digital entertainment and gaming company is now considered among the Internet’s largest source for television proposition bets. The Bodog book managers use certain criteria when coming up with the contestants’ rankings. The criteria include: historical evidence, such as the character make-up of past winners and losers; demographics, such as gender, age and physical attributes; and sentimental and popular culture value, which is an assessment of how the general public feels about each contestant.
