Sportsbook Review: Legendz Sports

Sportsbook Review: Legends.com Sports Book

Sure, spelling “Legends” with a “Z” is a little trashy, but does the Legendz sportsbook make up for it by being otherwise awesome?

Let’s find out.

Offerings

On paper, Legendz’s sports betting options are decent enough. It doesn’t offer many crazy exotics but keeps you covered for football, basketball, hockey and so on.

On the other hand, it seems like many lines are missing. Futures don’t seem to be apparent anywhere. Neither do UFC lines – a big no-no considering the sport’s growing popularity. The sports betting options are a bit disappointing. Legends - Online Sports Betting

The casino section is under construction, so it’s hard to grade. I can at least say that the advertised features and games look like they cover almost everything you’d find in Vegas, allow you to play for money or for fun, and generally appear glossy and attractive.

Legendz redeems itself with a few extra frills. Its racebook is arguably the best-organized, most complete option on its site, with dozens of tracks covered, a section detailing the most popular horse bets, and special racebook-specific promos.

Other pluses: a detailed, very up-to-date blog detailing current sporting events and mobile betting offerings.

Legendz’s goes about making its offerings appealing in a roundabout way. It falls short in the obvious categories like sports lines but its racebook and other features are nice and the casino has potential.

Grade: B-

Ease of Use

There’s a running theme with Legendz. It almost feels like this site is geared toward the non-sporty gambler, as its racebook is well laid out and easy to navigate and its casino certainly looks like it will be crisp and easy to use.

I can’t say the same for the spots lines. They’re jumbled together in one, long, small, scrollable window. The odds are hard to find and poorly divided; you can’t tell who’s playing whom.

The money lines don’t have “+” and “-“ symbols attached; that could really confuse novice bettors.

Again, Legendz gets it done for the non-sports offerings but the sportsbook is quite difficult to use.

Grade: C+

Intangibles/promos

Legendz is known for being amazingly quick with its payouts – even recognized as the industry leader. Legends - Top Sportsbook, Cash Bonuses Withdrawals via Moneybookers and Neteller are guaranteed to be ready the same day. Even cashier’s checks take only three to six business days to arrive.

The payout speed is downright awesome, even if the payout methods are limited.

Legendz is kind enough to offer bonuses, though they aren’t particularly big. Other books do better than Legendz’s 25 per cent signup bonus or 25 per cent redeposit bonus.

It offers some cool rebates, like five per cent on casino losses and five per cent on racebook bets if you enter a given code. It also offers reduced juice on Fridays.

Legendz gets major points for being the sportsbook king of fast payouts.

It also deserves credit for its variety of bonuses, though I’d like to see bigger ones.

Grade: A-

Overall

Legendz can be a useful book if you use it in the right way. It’s great for a diehard gambler who wants to get paid very quickly. It’s generally handy for people who enjoy horses, casino games, or other Vegas-like experiences.

However, I don’t recommend it for sports bettors. The odds are limited and tough to navigate. If you play Legendz for its strengths, you’ll be happy.

FINAL GRADE: B

Perhaps more than most of the popular North American sports, pro golf is a tough, strange beast to tame. It’s dart-throwing. It’s a needle in a haystack. However, because the odds of a particular golfer winning are so low, you can make a lot more money per bet on golf than you can on most sports.
