Kudos to CRIS

[krackman]

I have a credit account with CRIS with a 5 dime settlement arrangement and I had a -500 balance with them from basketball season and called them today to ask them for mailing instructions since I won't be playing with them this baseball season due to there 20 cent line. One of the owners/managers told me don't worry about it and he understood why I would not be playing sides in baseball with him and said just carry it over a few months till football season.

I just thought that was a nice gesture on his behalf and will definitely put them on top of my list come football season and would highly recommend them.

Could someone give me their site address again? Last time I remembered was www.betoncris.com, that doesn't work anymore. Thanks in advance.

[TinCup]

There new web address is www.betcris.com

CRIS is and always will be the best out. They offer the best and sharpest lines, except for baseball. It is a shame they had to ruin baseball for everyone and move to the 20 cent line. But you can't forget them in the other seasons.

Personally, I like to play into bad, dull lines.

always will be best?

highly relative and dubious that

CRIS IS THE GENERAL MOTORS OF OFF-SHORE BOOKS...

YOU HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF NOT RECEIVING YOUR U.S.SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK THAN NOT RECEIVING A PAYOUT CHECK FROM CRIS...

I NEVER REMEMBER HEARING THEY HAD TO HAVE AN 11TH HOUR VOTE AND APROPRIATION TO AVOID GOING BANKRUPT LIKE THE U.S.GOVERNMENT...

what does yank politics have to do with how good/useful a sportsbook is?

General Motors? So are CRIS as bad for the place as what these guys produce?

AUSSIE VAMP,

IT'S AN ANALOGY TO SHOW HOW STRONG THE BOOK CRIS IS FINANCIALLY.

HERE IN THE STATES YOU NATURALLY ASSUME THE SOCIAL SECURITY YOU PAY INTO WILL BE THERE WHEN YOU RETIRE.

THE U.S.GOVERNMENT HAS HAD TO HAVE 11TH HOUR VOTES IN THE PAST TO KEEP THE GOVERNMENT FROM SHUTTING DOWN DUE TO BANKRUPTCY.

MY POINT WAS, CRIS NEVER HAD TO DO THIS.

YOU HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF NOT RECEIVING YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK THAN NOT RECEIVING YOUR PAYOUT CHECK FORM CRIS...

General Motors? So are CRIS as bad for the place as what these guys produce?

AN ANALOGY AGAIN.

GENERAL MOTORS IS ONE OF, IF NOT THE BIGGEST AUTO MANUFACTERER IN THE WORLD.

CRIS IS ONE OF ,IF NOT THE BIGGEST AMERICAN SPORTS B.M.s IN THE WORLD.

YOU GET THE PICTURE NOW?

I NOTICE A MAJORITY OF YOUR POSTS ARE JUST SARCASTIC TWO-LINERS.

IS THERE A REASON FOR THAT?

Having worked at CRIS, I can say first hand that yes, they are very solid and they pay; but then so do several other books here in Costa Rica, like Caribi ( betcaribi.com ), where I currently work, and NASA and others.

I think the gaming industry has grown to the point where we can no longer talk about giants (i.e. the General Motors or Microsoft of the industry). What we need to look out for are the little scammers out there. Good luck to all.

Good point Woodstock but I totally disagree on that. Sure, we have to be aware about the little scammers around but for new and old players, being with a solid and giant ones is still a PEACE OF MIND. Good luck!!!!
