(Part

The
gamble
(no
pun
intended)
definitely
paid
off
massively.
In
the
beginning
of
his
gaming
development,
he
was
thinking
about
creating
a
top
notch
sportsbook
–
well
we
all
know
it
has
come
to
much
more
than
just
that.
Bodog.com
is
one
of
the
most
recognized
brand
names
in
gaming.
Bodog
Entertainment
Group,
founded
more
than
a
decade
ago,
is
now
an
urbane
mainstream
organization
known
for
its
world
renowned
sports
betting
entertainment
company,
as
well
as
its
In
2004,
in
keeping
with
is
ever
diversification
fashion,
he
created
an
annual
online
gambling
industry
conference
that
would
basically
take
over
other
conventions
by
attracting
celebrities
and
sports
greats
such
as
NFL
quarterback
Joe
Montana,
NFL
player
and
coach
Mike
Ditka
and
baseball
Hall
of
Fame
inductee
Reggie
Jackson
as
keynote
speakers.
He
has
said
that
he
fully
intends
to
make
his
home
base
of
Costa
Rica
the
biggest
realm
of
music
and
entertainment.
This
is
coming
to
light
since
his
creation
of
Bodogmusic.com
and
Bodog
Television.
He
has
already
begun
to
sign
entertainers
to
his
label
and
much
more.
In
March
of
2005,
Bodog.com
became
the
first
trademarked
gaming
operation
in
the
United
States,
Canada
and
the
United
Kingdom.
As a
result
of
being
widely
considered
the
most
recognizable
brand
in
its
field,
Bodog
was
named
the
online
gaming
world's
seventh
most
influential
company,
according
to
London's
eGaming
Review
Magazine.
As
demonstration
of
his
reputation
as
an
expert
outside
the
gaming
industry
as
well
is
that
he
was
the
only
North
American
online
gaming
executive
invited
to
discuss
the
topic
of
digital
convergence
at
the
2006
Gaming
Money
Summit
held
at
the
London
Stock
Exchange.
What
continues
to
inspire
this
mogul
is
his
ultimate
goal
to
build
a
world
class
organization
within
the
online
gambling
and
entertainment
industry.
He
obviously
wants
to
achieve
the
very
best
business
the
world
has
known.
If
he
keeps
going
on
the
pace
that
he
is
currently,
this
will
happen
for
sure.
He
is
not
even
near
50
years
old
yet!
