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.
