It would be nice to have them as an out since they are the first to post lines, but are they a good book? Let's here any pros and cons.

I have used them for two years, and they have always been top notch.

High limits, early lines (except for 2h..which Greek opens), and great customer service. You will also never worry about getting paid.

I would recommend them to anybody. The same goes for the Greek. Two must have books for anyone serious about winning, in my opinion.

They will grease you for every penny you have - two book to book transfers this week and this cost $100 each time

They also love to lower limits.

At the end of the day they are a good book though - your funds are safe

You saying you can win in college football and pro football at 5k a side without a limit problem? No parlays but some totals? 5k in bases too.

Do you know when those high limits are available during the week? Say for Sunday NFL with no circles/injuries. Also NFL teasers incuding up to 4 team teasers are good at 5k although 2 tms would likely be the only ones I want for 5 k?

No, I played at pinny, but now with a local and 5 dimes. I used to know Mike from Pittsburg as a local then dailabet now Cris. He kinda ditched my friend who he was supposed to marry so I have stayed away from Cris but it's now been so long that I don't care.

Just curious why there isn't more talk about these guys with all of the positive comments? You just don't see a lot of fanfare.

I looked into em and signed up but never deposited. For the C-note player i thought the $50 min fee per withdrawal was to high...

I think they used to be great but in the last year they have gone downhill, strickly on payout issues.

I shouldn't have to resubmit withdrawl requests multiple times or have to call and ask where my money is or when it will be here. The last 2 withdrawls were exactly the same mess.

Yes, you will get paid but it shouldnt' take weeks of me badgering them. That's the reason I'm not with them anymore.

Good luck trying to get paid from them...Ever since they broke of from Betcris the book went to shit...much better books out there. I don't give a shit how soon there lines come out and how many diffrent options they give you if its a hassle to get paid what good is the book...:nono5:

Bookmaker and DSI (Diamond Sports International) are both backed by Cris and are as financially secure as any offshore book.

Every offshore book now runs into payment processing problems from time to time because of the US government. Its not the books fault. It wasn't a coincidence that when Neteller left and the UIGEA was passed, payouts from Cris/Bookmaker went from same day/next day for every player to between 3 and 7 business days and sometimes longer. Its not the books fault. Every single book in this industry can run into problems like this nowadays.

I hope the UIGEA is included in the rules that Obama is going to undo that Bush pushed through at the last minute. There is a law passed in 1996 giving the incoming president power to just undo any laws passed by the outgoing president after November 1st. The question isn't whether or not Obama is going to undo any of the laws but which ones he is going to undo. Is the UIGEA going to be included?

I have come to understand why some books charge for transfers. People will load up with a book and then transfer to other books. So they are basically funding accounts to competitors. Places should probably levy those charges on an account by account basis, but that creates a lot of work.
