I agree, losing one's domain is a big deal and it can take years to recover one's search engine traffic. That said, Bodog I'm sure relies very little on free traffic as it has strong brand recognition and relies primarily on other forms of advertising (banners, print, affilaite, etc...) so I don't think it's as big a deal for them as it would be for a pure advertising based portal.
Also, major sites generally have a direct channel to Google via a dedicated rep and can get them fix this sort of issue from the back end. That's most likely what happened. Yahoo and MSN are a bit more problematic. Newbodog.com is #1 in Google for keyword "bodog", but nowhere to be found in the other two.
Why New Bodog.com?
CA looks pretty confident, hands positioned in a power pyramid, lips slightly pursed in a gesture of seriousness and sincerity. His explaination seeming honest, convincing, trustworthy
... until you look down and notice that he's wearing a thumb ring.
Too funny...
Cal, take off that thumb ring, man.
