Since the pronunciation of "b" and "v" are often interchanged, you will see Spanish speakers misspelling words like "boca". You yourself can pronounce all "v's" and "b's" as in English - In Boliva it is done so, or try to pick up how your favorite dialect pronounces them in individual words (a task I have given up on). Learn the correct Spanish spellings and don't worry about how some texts may have them misspelled.
They are proununced the same, In Spain, anyway, somewhere between the two,neither b,nor v. Therefore theree are many mispellings, especially when texting. However, whichever way you spell it you will always be understood, or ve understood, because it's such common happening.
