Legendz - This is a book you should look at

SBR_John · 08-10-2007, 07:16 PM

This is a book that moved their rating up 8 straight times over the last 4 years.

They also own walk in sportsbooks in Panama in a joint venture with TheGreek. We will show you the pics we took of their new facility next week. First class. They are a serious player looking to do things right for players.

I couldn't play with them for bases though John. Those 20 cent lines are killers.

Better to play at The Pig (sister book, right?) as they have reduced vig at least.

Mudcat · 08-10-2007, 08:05 PM

Hmm. Someone had a thread recently about what books we are surprised are still in business. This was my post:

For anything a player could want, there are multiple books that do it better. Yes Legendz pays but they are not the only book that pays.

It's hard for me to see why people deposit.

katstale · 08-10-2007, 08:21 PM

ditto

I mean, in the review page SBR states they will collar you and they don't want "professional action"! Sounds like they just want to steal Tony's players. Oh I forgot, he has reduced juice and pays also.

Well, that does leave manners. Legendz for sure got him beat there!!

Nothing here to see that is not done better elsewhere.

SBR_John · 08-10-2007, 08:32 PM

A lot of players just want a professional book with great customer service and good people. In past years books like VIP and Bet365 did a great job with this group. Now there seems to be a void. Hopefully Bodog performs well and BetOnline can join in with BetJamaica and Legendz and offer this group a good selection.

Legendz is offering a free half point on NFL Sundays if you bet the entire board (each game has to be the same amount and only nickel max per game).

-107's on Fridays.

If you bet all on Friday at -107, I would think you still get the free hook.

Mudcat · 08-10-2007, 09:31 PM

Well that's an intriguing deal for anyone who is disposed towards betting the whole board (which is not me).

I'm trying to think if I could make it worthwhile just from a strategic/numbers standpoint. I usually don't have opinions on more than a handful of NFL games each week so the rest I would be strictly fiddling with numbers.

Maybe if it was a week where you were able to move on/off a lot of 3's and 7's, particularly 3's.

But then I wonder if they have rules about that, a la Skybook.

But if you could move on/off those 3's and get the Friday -107, I bet some business could be done.

This was how I was considering this promotion myself. I'm not sure it's going to be too advantageous, but if there are no restrictions on the key numbers, then there could be some promise.

often times you might not get the line you want if you wait for friday's -107...and if you want to wait till friday...why not just use Bet JM for -105?

maritime · 08-10-2007, 09:52 PM

I joined Legendz 2 football seasons ago. I happened to go on a good hot streak right after I opened the account and worked my balance up to around 8k. They labeled me as a sharp, and management limited my wagers to $50 maximum which was ridiculous. They basically forced me out. I cashed out, they did pay (neteller at that time). But not a book for heavier bettors that's for sure.

Omnivorous Frog · 08-10-2007, 09:52 PM

Is the pig in Panama also? Is it a sister store? Pretty ironic on the bottom of your post is a downgrade Bet Pan Am to D-. Would that be like downgrading BOS now? Looks like Panama could be a place to be. One more concern from that SBR place.

Limit collars: Yes, limits will be cut for professional players

Could that be clarified?

The -107 was only brought up in regards to the possibility that it may be allowed to overlap with their other promotion (the free half point on betting the NFL Sunday board), in which case, it would be naturally better than betting a -105.

oh ok...thanks

"Of all the books on this site, I would trust as much or more money with
Luke and Legendz than any other group. As with most books on this site, they will limit you if you are chasing steam and they make it known they do not want professional action...but as far as honesty and integrity, I'll take Luke over anyone in the industry (actually, a tie with his friend Spiro)."

Nice testimonial, hope it was not a credit account.

Hey another good one, old jj's close buddy..

Pig is the better book of the 2, from my experience..

austintx05 · 08-10-2007, 10:20 PM

last I checked Matchbook welcomes pro action with much better prices.
