So after turning my $34 BTP winnings into roughly $200 I started to like them and their service. The -108 lines were nice and it was a nice out next to Heritage with -107. ALL of my wagers have been placed online... I get out of work and decided I wanted to deposit and put a big chunk on Oregon St, so I take out my blackberry and google "legends sportsbook" I click on the first link, scroll down to find a number, call the number, they answered "legends" so I said I wanted to make a ** deposit what is the info, they asked for my account number and he gave me the info.

I called back with the tracking number and they said thanks will be posted in 20 minutes. I get home around 730, log into my account and my balance does not have the $500 in it. So I logout, go back in, still not there... So I get to the main page and see a different number than I called and now my head starts spinning, but dont think much of it because books have multiple numbers... I call and apparently there is a DIFFERENT "legends sportsbook" than the A++ Legends...

Now after going to SBR I see the warning but shouldn't Legends be a little more proactive to ensure their customers arent getting ripped off?? I mean its the FIRST link when you google legends sportsbook.

Now apparently I am out my $500 deposit with these fukkin cokk bags because I asked for my deposit and they are giving me the run around...

[themajormt]

Oh I also wanted to point out that every customer service rep I spoke to said they were not aware of this bla bla bla... How the fukk can they not be aware of this?? SBR gave the heads up forever ago...

Why would you deposit with Legends when there are much better books? And why would you try to deposit over the phone at a book you have never cashed from before?

What about calling back the original # that gave you the ** info? Did I miss that part?

[SpiderMonkey]

Lengends can't control which site comes up first on Google, Yahoo, etc. - but they were the 1st site that came when I did a search.

If he didn't have an account with them can he actually create one over the phone and then get the ** information from them? Once he gave them his name and they said we have no account information under this name why would you still want to deposit with them if it's not the legit Legends people.

[themajormt]

Paver, they treated me like I DID have an account with them thats the problem. They obviously are a scam shop and are feeding off of Legends customers. They answer the phone legends, I gave them my account number, looking back they never said my name but that didnt seem out of the ordinary! It was as just like every other deposit I have done. You call, get the ** info, deposit, call back with the tracking number...

Can't they do whatever it takes to make sure THEY are the first one and not these scam fukks??? I mean playing the "we didnt know" card can only go so far...

I gave the scammers my account number and password and then the guy said ok here is the ** info... That was it, and thats how it has been with 10+ other books that I have done ** with...

[AMBlai01]

What about filing a dispute with **?

[big joe 1212]

WOW. Bad Beat!

[Mudcat]

Huge stretch to try and blame Legends (the A+ book). I'm sure they would have treated you fine if you had given them a chance to.

Hopefully there is a lesson here for inexperienced players. Many books do indeed have similar names and yes there are some outright scams that copy existing books as closely as they can, both the name and the site layout. You have to be careful when sending money around.

[themajormt]

Amby I am already on it... Worst part is I have done 5 online ** deposits with other books recently and figures I actually do a live in person one and I cant fukked...

Muddy I am not BLAMING Legends A+, what I am saying is they should be more proactive in protecting their players and doing whatever it takes to protect their customers... I mean that scam site is the first site on google, youre telling me they cant do something to ensure at LEAST thats not the case?

[1st and Ten]

Sucks

[twister]

You're a stupid fukk, and you're trying to blame Legends for it? Or saying they should do something to protect you? Protect you from what exactly? Your own fukking stupidity?

What do you want next? For legends to come around your house and babyproof the electrical sockets so you don't electricute yourself whilst plugging in your laptop? Or perhaps they should send you a chaperone, so that when you are placing bets through your blackberry and crossing the street at the same time, you don't get run over?

You fukked up. YOU. Legendz shouldn't be protecting you, YOU should be protecting YOURSELF. I mean, FFS, the website addresses aren't even the same and the actual websites look COMPLETELY different. Fukkin shit up, then blaming other people. What a worthless fukk.

Edit: Okay, that might be a bit harsh. I'm sorry for your loss, but it makes me mad when people put their mistakes on other people. It was your own fault, just be more careful next time. Hopefully you get your cash back.

the other site knows how to work the analytics, and adwords so they pop up first on Google.
there are companies that specialize in getting websites to be first on the page.
I have a website for my business and used to get calls from these companies to get my site ranked higher.

Question - What is link for the book you did deposit at? Is it an actual book that you can play at? Or just some scam operation for getting misdirected deposits?

google legends sportsbook. The link is that as a one word dot com. Looks like a real sportsbook.

[themajormt]

Twister go fukk yourself... I pulled the shit up on my cell phone you douche bag. I clicked on the first link through google.

Where did I BLAME them? Just saying that not ONE CS rep was aware of this?? Bullshit...

[Bread]

There is a LEGENDS and a LEGENDSPORTSBOOK.

I take it deposit was made into the second option.

[G's pks]

sucks but honestly..its your own fault... Hopefully you get you dollars back...oh wow...nice spot for my power posting today! here goes~~~

[themajormt]

Paver/Bread: They are FULLY aware of what theyre doing because when I called and he asked my account number and password he didnt flinch, Ive called 5Dimes and given a BetJM account and they said "sorry thats not our account numbers"... I mean I am definitely taking responsibility for my fukk up but I guess all I am trying to do is point out to other people what the fukk happened...

[G's pks]

couple more bear with me...

Correct Breadly... Just googled legends sportsbook and clicked first link, scrolled to bottom and got the phone number... No colors or anything even loaded because my blackberry sucks...

[G's pks]

ok done...GL getting your cash...be much more careful in future...

[exstatman]

As suggested, I typed "legends sportsbook" into Google.

When "legends sportsbook" is typed into Google, the A+ rated book is shown first.

When "legend sportsbook" is typed into Google, the D- book shows up first.

So apparently you mistyped, leaving the "s" off.

Oregon State covered nice job!

[droc]

tough break, hope you somehow recover your money..............No blame on Legends here though, really nothing they could do to prevent this, except maybe noting this possibility on there website.

[spartangreen]

You won't get your money back, ** will be of no help, you won't even be able to get any information on the person who picked it up. Thats why people who scam on the internet always want you to use ** or **.
