I'm not sure what you mean by quiet, they're operating like normal and are good selections for football.

Both Legendz (SBR Rated A+) & their sister book ThePig (SBR Rated A) currently have no complaints levied against them at this time. Not to mention that both books have very good customer service.

Both of these books will start you out with low limits ($500 online limits including prop bets) and they won't raise your limit until at least 30 days. At that point you have to request it through a manager and have it approved (Keep in mind that they are a recreational book and could cut your limits at some point).

ThePig will use -108 opposed to Legendz who uses a .20 cent line for baseball and no overnight lines. Not to mention they offer a 10% signup bonus for U.S. players, but if you sign up on either a Tues or Wed. you will recieve an extra 5% (cash bonus/5x's rollover)

The area I feel both of these two books need to improve on is their payment solutions for both depositing for U.S. player. Currently they only offer Western Union, Moneygram, and Cashier checks. (The do take Moneybookers & Neteller for those who can use it, not to mention higher bonus offerings with a 7x rollover). However, both books process their payouts very promptly that offer 1 free check every calender month (flat $55 fee after that/takes 3-4 days fedex to get it).

It's the usual story for these books. They are stable and reliable and they have above average customer service.

And there is no reason to play at them. Anything they do, someone else stable and reliable does better.

Lines, limits, selection, bonuses. There is always a better place to go. I say that with some regret because I appreciate stability in today's industry climate and it is deserving of some support.

But that's the fact, Jack.

Got a check this week from pig. The bank stamped "for deposit only" on the back! So my bank put a hold on it just cause of that! Why would they do that? What do they care if I cash or deposit? I know its not pigs fault, but what fukin idiots at their bank!

That is rather interesting that they tagged the endorsement like they did sir. I don't recall any other books using this type of method currently. Then again why ask why just as long as it clears.

BTW, Thanks for sharing your experiences with us all. I will be sure to make a note of it for the October report.
