English Sports Betting

[sportsbank]

I never here anyone mention English Sports,
as being one of the top books. I've never
had a problem with them. Is CRIS reputable?
I'm thinking of opening an account with them
also for the baseball season.

Cris is excellent
they have great payouts plan
soon will be starting on the net

Sportsbank, search the archives and you'll find some questionable history on ***.

CRIS is of course the most respected book in the Carribean.

jinxbebe, CRIS was saying that they would be on the net six months ago. I wonder what's holding them up?

[BigMoney]

The history I was referring to was on the sportsbook you asked about. The fact that the software here is automatically set up to blank out their acronym is indication enough.

Big Money
Cris said they had some delay in there software
But now is OK and running test
They said it will be done before March Madness
??

[BigMoney]

jinx, I hope they meet their schedule this time. I opened an account but haven't played much, since I really hate the phones.

Big Money,

Thanks for pointing me to the archives on
English Sports. Very interesting reading.
Like I said I never had a problem with
them. They always pay on time. I don't like
how their paper **** slams all the other
books though. They did have an interesting
article o WWTS once. They said WWTS accounts
aren't really insured by LLoyds of London
like they proclaim. To be honest I was going
to open an account with WWTS until I read
that article. I think I will definetely
use CRIS as my second book. I get nothing but positive feedback about them.

BigMoney,

FYI CRIS site can be found at: crissports.com I'm not sure if they accept
on-line wagers though.

[TrendSetter]

I found *** reputable. When I had any disagreement with them concerning balance, they went to the tape and corrected. They also payed by FED-EX and gave me a control # to track it. Another plus is their minimum wager of $5.00. Helps when you play multiple parlays or for the small timers. Here's there url:

If any reads the above post, please take into mind that there is a link on TrendSetter's web site to E--S--B, so they are problaby getting a kick back for the customers they send over. While I don't have a problem with that prctice in general, it does tend to make someone biased.

I would offer this bit of advice. I have been reading this forum since it started (about 3-4 years ago) and don't ever recall Bettorsworld having a personal beef with any other sportsbook. The fact that they do with this one is enough for me to stay away.

Remember it is how a book acts in tough times that counts.

KnowItAll, I don't get a kick-back from E-S-B. I put that link on my page to be able to get previous rotations. Does Bettor's World kick back. I have a link to them. The NBA, NFL, MLB, & ESPN are also linked. I haven't seen a check from anyone yet. In a way, like using the Drudge Report to get news. I don't have an account with anyone. When I did it was with E-S-B because of the $5 min. I'm not a big money man. I haven't made a bet since Denver beat Green Bay in the Super Bowl 2 years ago. Cleared my account when news came out about Overseas Book Managers being arrested. I'll be back if its found legal.

sportsbank, I'd send my money to WWTS before I'd send it to Lloyds. Don't worry about your money there.
