cris bait and switch

[blueedwards]

they send me an email today on the nfl season win totals. in the email they have:

redskins 8.5
bears 6.5

just went to www.betcris.com and:

redskins 8
bears 7.5

 

[Chadster]

lines adjust based in volume of money played on each side as well as who played.

Bait and switch.

Just another guy trying to run it up the ass of the books and cry when you can't.

 

[blueedwards]

jay, how much volume did cris get in the last 30 minutes? i get the email and check the site immediately.

you telling me that enough bears over action came in the last 30 minutes to move the line from 6.5 to 7.5? gimme a break.

Jay,
You're saying that even though these lines have been up for a month at some places, suddenly for no apparent reason heavy steam came in a 11 AM on NFL win totals?

 

Sorry blue. Didnt mean to beat you to the # with my 30 minutes of heavy betting.

On a more serious note.. You make a good point lander.

With a database as large as CRIS's, bulk email takes over 24 hours to send out. I got that email yesterday morning.

It is possible that line got hit by many of the customers early on in the emailing list. I don't know that is the case but it is a possiblity.

 

[blueedwards]

i guess its possible gringo but, i have been watching the totals at the other books (pinnacle, olympic, etc) and they haven't moved. typically, you will see a move in the price but not the number. for a total to move from 6.5 to 7.5, even if in 24 hours, seems very unlikely.

 

[lander]

Fuk em' Blue,
Middle their shifty numbers

 

[blueedwards]

no can do lander...the real numbers are the same as everyone elses.

 

[GringoinCR]

I would think it would cause them more complaints than it's worth to pull a bait and switch. Obviously if someone goes there for a certain number they aren't going to bet a different one.

Seems like more trouble than anything else.

Maybe the email was created by the graphics department a couple of days before it went out.

try claiming one of the bonuses CRIS advertises - then you will really see some number change!

 

[ChuckSims]

Thats funny Gringo! You would also think stealing back rebate dollars and stiffing post-up players would not be worth the complaints they would receive but CRIS did it anyway. What CRIS probably did was use their opening WIn Total #'s which are outdated and send it out via e-mail. It is deceptive advertising, does'nt matter if its intential or not.

 

[GringoinCR]

Chuck, what part of professional players don't get bonuses don't you understand?

A bonus is just that, a bonus. Everyone that has ever played at CRIS has gotten paid.

 

[ChuckSims]

Gringo, You are a dirtbag LIAR. People have been stiffed by CRIS and they were NOT pros. How many bettors has CRIS STIFFED that do not know about The RX to share their stories?

 

[Railbird]

Cris,

Did the bait and switch on NCAA tourney futures too, they gave out odds that they never had in the first place in there mailouts.

 

[JudgeWapner]

Chuck,who was stiffed by Cris?

 

[lander]

I think Chuck is talking about the renegging of bonuses by CRIS

 

[Railbird]

JudgeWop,


Im willing to bet the I.R.S. got stiffed by Cris.

 

[JudgeWapner]

No,IRS is getting theirs as we speak.

 

Ahhh remember the CRIS online slogans...

"Never steal anything small"

and...

"Home of the reverse transfer"

and now a new one...

CRIS...Bait THIS!!
