    Didn't happen to me, have you contacted support to find out what's going on? Maybe they just want some ID or something

        Were you betting both sides of the game to complete a rollover?

        Were you max betting a line that has not moved multiple times in an attempt to exceed their max limit?

          sounds like he was taking advantage of a book that has bad software

          he was placing bets to his advantage over and over


          it has to do with cents not being included

                Did you take advantage or not?
                and did they reopen the account?

                    Found the mail in which it is explained.
                    Greetings from Legends.com!

                    Your account is temporarily inactive because you are making multiple bets for $5 and $10 to avoid paying juice.

                    We will go ahead and open your account again, but you will need to do only one bet for the whole amount, not multiple bets of $5 or $10.

                    If you continue to do this, we will raise your account minimum limit to $20.

                    If you have any questions or doubts, please do not hesitate to contact us again

                              He was paying less juice by the addition of the multiple bets

                                Very creative idea I have to say

                                It sure is weird when it´s up to the customer not to use the means they have to get the most they can.

                                However, I also think Legends deserve respect for explaining that they don´t like people taking advantage of this in such a kind way.

                                    At least they did reopened my account right away. So there is no complaint on my side.

                                        Just call it what it is. You were taking a shot or actually stealing from them and they found it after while. That pretty much makes you a thief doesn't it? Don't they have the right to make money for providing you a service? Why are posters applauding this type of effort? What happened to being stand up?

                                          How is he "taking a shot" because of their crappy software? Lots of books round down on juice, so a bet of $100 at -110 would pay $90 rather than the $90.90 it should pay. In that case, how is the book not taking a shot at the player?

                                            I think Legends rounds up when the payout is 0.50 or more and rounds down when the payout is 0.49 or less, In the end it balances up.

                                                  Because he saw the hole and exploited it making multiple bets to the sum of his unit rather than just one play at that unit. I can assume pretty much he pretty much too the route of instead of betting $500 one time and paying the appropriate juice, he did something equivalent to laying 100 $5 bets on the same game to avoid paying the juice for the same bet. This is the only reason they would shut off his account. It had to have been blatant. Thats what makes him a thief looking to steal juice where it wasn't his to steal. Doesn't that company have a right to make money for providing him that service? If that is what you did, then you are definitely in the wrong.

                                                    But the book is ripping off anyone betting amounts that get rounded down. When a book's system is such that certain bet sizes get ripped off and certain bet sizes pay less juice, it's pretty ridiculous to blame a player for exploiting the latter. How is the book not a "thief" for overcharging juice to bet sizes that get rounded down, ex books that pay out $90 on $100 bets instead of the appropriate $90.90?

When a book's system is such that certain bet sizes get ripped off and certain bet sizes pay less juice, it's pretty ridiculous to blame a player for exploiting the latter. How is the book not a "thief" for overcharging juice to bet sizes that get rounded down, ex books that pay out $90 on $100 bets instead of the appropriate $90.90?
                                                      But legends give you the 10 cents for that bet

                                                      They pay you 91 if you won 90.90

                                                          So they round up anything above .50, ok, so change the example to a $50 bet that should pay $45.45, where they only pay $45. In that case they steal $.45 from the player.

                                                            So if your bet pays 90.51 and you get pay 91 you are getting free money and it balances up

                                                              Not if you always flat bet $50 or some other amount that rounds down. The point is that with a book that rounds down on certain bet sizes, deliberately sizing your bets so that the book never screws you on the rounding is simply the smart thing to do and is in no way "stealing" or "taking a shot" at the book.

Heaven forbid they have a right to make a profit for providing you the service, as long as you found a way around it, it is their fault right? Good job, you should be proud of your work and effort.
