Has anybody played with this 3/6-4/8 guy who is constantly threatening to track down other players and murder them (via stabbing, usually) in their home? On numerous days I have seen him making these threats. He's always like, "I only have to pay five dollars to get your IP! You're only x hours away from me!" And there's my favorite, "I got your IP FROM Bovada!" Yeah, ok guy.
It's helpful to have this guy identify himself on an anonymous site in real-time as you're trying to take his money, but as I was laughing at him I became curious if it is actually possible to track somebody's IP and thus learn their location. I mean, they always say that it's easy to hack into the average person's accounts with a little knowledge, intelligence and/or social engineering ...

apparently it's doable, although maybe not necessarily from Bovada itself
