Yes Cris can have a better line. I don't have exact price, tossed my notes. I wanted Red Sox team total over tonight, I got a much better price at CRIS, the line I bought was over 5.5 -135.

I don't find very much there, but for MLB TT's they are worth a look.

CRIS is one of the most respected sports books in this industry. Their leader is considered by many insiders to be the God Father of them all...

If TRUST is an issue, which it should be, very few books can hold Cris's diapers...

Are you saying 5dimes could stiff you before Cris? Something like 99.98% to 99.99%

I went to Boston Market for homemade style meals for 5 and 1/2 years until one day the became a cingular store. I trusted them and they let me down.

Agree both are solid books, as far as everyone knows.

Boston Market, not so solid, having been cash-strapped for sometime they declared bankruptcy in '98, not sure or not if still under bankruptcy protection.

5Dimes is awesome in that they let you do overnight cross sport money line parlays, such as a soccer match parlayed wiih a golf match. Very few books including some of the top one like Pinnacle and WWTS allow this. Does betchris ?

Cris is a must out if you are a serious player. End of story.

If you are a big player, CRIS is probably a "must have". If you are a smaller player who is looking for more options, 5 Dimes is probably your best bet---they offer enough props on everything to make your head spin.

If I had to rule one out, CRIS would go just because I'm not trying to get 10 dimes down on a game and 5 Dimes gives me a larger menu of options.

CRIS is one of the pioneers in this industry, but similar to Oly, they are kind of looking like the old, stable giants that are falling behind in a market that is becoming viciously competitive.

I went to grad school in Econ, so I should probably know how this fits into a typical market evolution theory, because it's pretty similar to what goes on in any growing industry.

This being baseball season, CRIS is pretty worthless, except for props and unique things like 2nd half MLB bets. I rarely find a bet there, but did just re-up yesterday. They aren't even worth checking for str8 MLB bets. I'm sure they will get some MLB team total bets from me, which few shops offer.

At least they have overnite lines, unlike giant WWTS. I don't like shops that won't hang a line until late ( Wagerweb, Grande, SIA, Sportbet, to name a few)
