Question Legendz/The Pig

I remember a while back these guys ran some decent promotions. I missed the boat by like a month. Anybody with any feedback, good...bad? Haven't heard anything on them in a while.

Will either of them offer dime lines in bases?

Pig has -108, good book if $500 limits on everything are ok for you.
I think they have 16c on Mlb MLs too thou, but very few books have that on the RL and totals so that makes up for it if you play more than just MLs.

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 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.

ThePig will use -108 opposed to Legendz who uses a .10 cent line (.20 cent line for baseball and no overnight lines).

The area I feel both of these 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 (3-4 days fedex with a flat $50 fee).

If I remember correctly the bonus structure was just recently changed not to long ago for both book. I really can't remember offhand what exactly was switched, however I do recall that something about you can't receive bonuses from both ThePig and Legendz at the same time.

Dan,

Both books do offer a free check each calendar month. The $50 fee is for additional checks.

"Check payouts are processed from 9 am to 6 pm EST, Monday to Friday, and are sent out by FedEx or DHL. We offer one free check payout per calendar month. Additional check payouts are subject to a flat fee of $50.00 USD each and may take up to 3 business days to arrive."

No overnight lines. Thats hard to swallow boys, especially for bases.

I just deposited at The Pig and haven't even placed a bet and noticed that my limits are $100 per game.

Is this correct?

Did they lower their online limits?

I have nickel limits too. I like the Pig's lines. Obviously I have no idea how quick their payouts are as I'm still working on my 5-time rollover.

Frank,

By any chance were you profiled at Legendz before? If so that could be the reason right their in regards to your $100 limits.

No I have never played at Legendz or Pig before.

I chatted with them yesterday and they fixed it to a nickel.
