Fans looking to bet on March Madness this year, should consider opening an account with Legends, one of the online sports gambling’s oldest shops. Opening up for business in 1996 in Panama City, Panama, sports betting online experts have had nothing but great things to say about Legends, especially during the March Madness tournament. Today we look at why you should consider opening an account with this phenomenal sportsbook.

While Legends does offer the best betting options, from straight bets to parlay’s and teasers on all four major sports leagues, as well as the amateur leagues such as the NCAA, that is not where their specialty lies. Instead, rather, Legends forte in the sports betting industry is directed at customer service.

Essentially, over the years the sportsbooks biggest obstacle from being ranked amongst the elite has been a lack of customer service. However, since 2009, Legends has gone out of its way, to make customer service its primary focus. For instance, rather than the generic “hello how can I help you?” greeting you would typically receive from any other sportsbook, Legends management puts an emphasis on the individual customers, by having their staff greet you specifically. Meaning to say rather than “hello how can I help you?” you will be greeted with “help (insert name) what can I do for you, today?” In essence, by making each individual customer feel important, it goes a long way in attracting more business, as customers will tell their friends who in turn will tell other friends, thus allowing Legends to receive more site traffic.

Aside from good greetings, Legends employs the model of 24 hours 365 days a year customer service. As well, they have one of the most intense six week courses for their employees to take specifically on customer service techniques. If you pass the final exam, you can then become a full time staff member.
