C.R.I.S.HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE OFF-SHORE INDUSTRY AND THEY HAVE AN IMPECABLE REPUTATION.
C.R.I.S. IS A UNIQUE BUSINESS GIVEN THE FACT THAT THEY ARE AMONG IF NOT THE LARGEST AMERICAN SPORTS BOOKMAKER IN THE INDUSTRY.
I'M SURE YOU READ MY POST ABOUT THEIR WISEGUY/SHARP INDEX (W.S.I.).
THEIRS IS THE HIGHEST W.S.I.IN THE INDUSTRY WITHOUT A DOUBT.
FOR THAT REASON ALONE THEIR BUSINESS CANT BE FAIRLY COMPARED TO ANYONE ELSES.
LAST BASEBALL SEASON WAS THE BEST IN THEIR HISTORY.
THEY DIDN'T COST THEMSELVES A DIME BECAUSE THEY ATTEMPT TO HOLD A CERTAIN AMOUNT AND MOVE THE LINE ACCORDINGLY TO THAT END TO CONTROL WHAT THEY HOLD.
THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD HAVE WON MORE WAS TO HOLD MORE.
THEY BOOK WHAT THEY ARE BET.
THEY DONT BET OUT.
THEY ARE NOT SHOT TAKERS.
THEY ARE "STONE COLD" BOOKMAKERS.
THAT'S NOT TO SAY THEY WONT HOLD A GAME FOR MORE IF THEY FEEL THEY HAVE ALREADY MOVED THE LINE ENOUGH.
Just as any sportsbook can make any decision they decide is in their best interest (even if they are mistaken), players can play wherever they want and for whatever reasons they choose.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT AND THAT IS WHY C.R.I.S. AND OLYMPIC HAVE THE MONSTER BUSINESSES THEY DO!
THEY OPEN FIRST.
THEY TAKE A BIG BET.
NOW MY POINT ABOUT YOUR FOLLOWING ERRONEOUS STATEMENT:
CURIOUS,
DESPITE THE FACT THAT YOU REFUSED TO GO ON RECORD THAT YOU WOULD USE C.R.I.S. OR OLYMPIC SPORTS IN FOOTS AND BASKETS IF YOU HYPOTHETICALLY HAD CREDIT THERE,YOUR SILENCE SPEAKS VOLUMES.
YOU LIKE EVERY OTHER PLAYER WITH A CLUE MAY NOT PLAY WITH THEM DURING BASEBALL BUT YOU WILL DEFINITELY PLAY THEM IN FOOTS AND BASKETS!
WHY?
SIMPLE.
THE VALUE IN THEIR POSTING THE LINES FIRST.
THE GOOD LIMITS.
THE GREAT BUYBACK VALUE IN THESE SHOPS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT AFRAID TO MOVE TO A LINE THAT IS OFF THE BOARD.
MICKEY OF C.R.I.S.SAID IT BEST:
IN CONCLUSION THE POINT YOU WERE TRYING TO MAKE IN REGARDS TO THESE TWO BUSINESSES,C.R.I.S. AND OLYMPIC SPORTS JUST DOSEN'T RING TRUE BECAUSE OF THE UNIQUENESS OF THEIR OPERATIONS.
C.R.I.S.'S AND OLYMPIC SPORTS BUSINESS DECISION TO DEAL 20 CENT BASEBALL WILL NEVER HURT THEIR BUSINESS OR TARNISH THEIR REPUTATION.
IT WILL NEVER PRECLUDE SOMEBODY FROM LAYING -3 ON A GAME WITH THEM WHEN THE WORLD IS PAINTED -3.5.
IT IS ALL ABOUT VALUE FOR THE SMART PLAYERS.
AND NOBODY GIVES THE SMART PLAYER MORE VALUE IN THE LINE, FOR AS BIG A BET,AS EARLY AS C.R.I.S.AND OLYMPIC SPORTS...

CURIOUS,
BETCRIS does not discount any sport, period. The reason we don't discount is because it is come one come all, whether you are a wiseguy or a square. We work on a hold that is traditionally low compared to the industry because we accept all the sharp shooters and no one has ever been BOOTED (no pun intended) for winning. In other words, here is our numbers, play and get paid. Most people play into our store because our numbers move dramatically, especially at post. Most shoopers play here because they understand the value of a half point and that is the basic reason why you will never see a discount at CRIS.
Thanks
