I thought it was a forum or a joke, but it's a book A- rated and Legendz.

What's the story ?

Im not entirely sure, but I found this on the "About Us" link on that website. Looks like a new book that is backed by Legendz.

Could they have managed to come up with a dumber name for a book ?

I draw a mental image of a book that only takes deposits and won't pay out from the name.... or an ugly woman.... or somebody that eats too much or dresses badly,etc.... nothing positive is associated with the term PIG.

Looks like Legendz attempt to go hard after postup market with a lower juice angle. I don't think much of the name, but I never thought much of of Bodog name either, so maybe I just don't have a feel for these things.

Lower juice and Panama. Pretty nice combination.

If I ever start a sportsbook, which I won't, it would be in Panama.
How is that for useless info?

Maybe you can earn free bacon as a comp for playing at the pig?

[Dead Money]

Pork Rinds Baby!!! Maybe some pig knuckles too.

A true marketing marvel.
I'll go out on a limb and say that there are most likely not alot of Jews that play there.
Must be the most unkosher book on the net.

smoked bacon ?

I loved the symbolism of Royal sending a smoked turkey for Christmas, that was classic, and delicious !
