Default Does anyone here play at the pig or legendz?

I've never seen any threads regarding these 2 books in my life. How do they stay an operation getting no action?

I play at the Pig and don't have any problems. I received a 20% cash bonus and get -108 lines. I haven't collected from there yet, but see no problem. Perhaps BBD can attest to their payout record.

Shouldnt judge a book by its cover. The payouts are all that matter.

Exactly. And last I heard The Pig hasn't screwed anyone.

PS Their software isn't great...it's the type that Jazz just abandoned.

The Apostle Thomas syndrome, I won't it believe till I see it.

To call it shady is, lets say, a bit naive.

Have no doubt this is a QUALLITY operation.

No, unless I'm mistaken. Spiro has his hands in Olympic (The Greek), Bet Jamaica, and Wager Street.

I would pick legendz over Pig, but really cannot go wrong with either.

Both Legendz & their sister book ThePig 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).
