I got a little over a dime paid out by CRIS today and it reminded me again what a great book this is. Fast payouts and big limits are nice, but most importantly they put their lines up super early and I seem to always find a few lines that are off from the normal cookie cutter lines you see at most books. I must say that their fee schedule for payouts really annoys me ($15 min for Neteller, $40 for a check, 3% for Firepay), but I find that it ends up being well worth it knowing I have my money in a trusted book that suits my wagering style. You guys should give them a look if you don't have an account there already. I feel the same way about Oasis as well. Not as big a book and not as large of limits, but still fast payouts and the wagering options I like.
Thumbs up to CRIS

While we are on the topic of props to books, id like to give a thumbs up to OLY for the OVERNITE payout of multi-dimes! Great book, id recommend to anyone.......
Yes, Olympic is a very good book as well. I am a bit sour on them compared to CRIS because Oly jacks up the juice on prop bets, charging 30 cents for things like NBA season totals and 40 cents for team totals. I suppose it's better than not offering them at all, but at least with the props I've bet (mostly 5 inning lines), CRIS has always kept the juice at 20 cents where it should be.
I used to play at Cris and ACR. If I transfered my sportsbook money to ACR pokerroom (for free), then I was able to make a withdraw from ACR via neteller for no charge. Been playing in busier poker rooms now though.
Thanks, Mr. I am not a poker player, so if I transferred my balance to ACR whould I be able to just do a Neteller w/d without having to roll it over or anything?
All in all, CRIS is a solid outfit, but I do have one big beef with them that they did nothing to clear up or even explain after several e-mails. Although I would still recommend them as a solid book to anyone who asked me, I will not use them again personally.
Two years ago all star game, the one that ended in a tie, i had an average size wager, nothing that will break me, but 2 units on the run line in the game. All the game bets were voided as no action, but they took my run line bet and graded it as a loss. At the time, there was nothing in their rules that explained this type of situation which is understandable because ties do not happen. Since then they may have ammended the rules, but at the time they did not. I had used them as one of my main books and given them a ton of action to them for two years up until that point. As a courtesy they could have pushed my bet.... As even less of a courtesy, I could have gotten an explanation for it. Instead, I got nowhere on the phone, and only 2 crappy e-mails which didn't explain anything. I know that wagering on an all-star game as a rule isn't the brightest thing to do....but like i said it wasn't a lot of money, but I just think they handled it poorly and i pulled out of there.
Overnight lines there are what they are best at, and I still would recommend them, but I personally think their customer service sucks.
