    I miss Legends, they were by far one of best books

    Their CS was amazing. I had a hot streak one week and requested a few checks and p2p when they were high limits. I didn't deposit one of the chc for some reason and months later found it,
    Legends resent the money to me through p2p after a few hours of verifying hadn't been cashed. Today that would be a headache anywhere

    Yeah I forgot about them. They were one of the best. I used to play at their sister book thepig, which was s dumb name for a sports book but always paid fast. They were also one of the few if only books based out of Panama.

    all this rigged casino talk on sbr is quite funny yet Legends casino was actually veryfied to be rigged. their lines were very vanilla but they did have some good customer service.

    I believe the owner was arrested by our stupid government. It sucks they went after him because he ran a great book.

    Bowmans was indeed an excellent book. Always paid to Neteller promptly.

    They were acquired by Bet365 if I'm not mistaken.

    Legends was another quality book. They also operated or licensed Dimeplayer.com along with a man named Ryan Hill.

    Bowmans ended up in Mauritius before closing the door. Won their NFL contest years ago and they paid out the prize (25K) within days , no problem.

    Feds busted Legends up. They were one of the better books out there.

    Bet365 and Bowmans merged around 2005.
