CRIS software glitch....

[NBAlive2005]

I signed up at CRIS today and put in $4000 (thanks to the A ratings from SBR)

However, I'm disappointed... right from my very first bet. I tried placing a parlay as below.

"Parlay Wager
NBA [702] PHILADELPHIA u170?110 Dec-2 16:05
This bet can't be accepted because Unkown Error

This bet can't be accepted because Unkown Error

This bet(s) can't be accepted because The Server

You have errors in your bet(s). Please check and try
again "

what's up with all the "unknown errors" and "server busy"??? and I tried it like 4 or 5 times.. didn't work at all.. talk about bad first impression.
now I just requested them to close the account and get refund back.

how CRIS gets the A from SBR:

reliabilty : B
pay options : A-
flexablility A-
customer service: B+
recognition A+
web site: B-
web site ease of use: F

added up: A

 

[RobFunk]

take it out play at olympic if youre strickly web guy. . .CRIS is probably your top phone bet place becuase of the size and reliabilty as well as options. their web site has been awful for over a year now.

NBA- the lines may have moved. You also may have the type browser that needs rebooted after this. Possible causes that come to mind.

Good luck on your stay at CRIS. Many many people love them.

Good luck NBA!

hi Fish, well, I NEVER had a problem with pinnacle, olympics, or any other books. so i don't think it's my browser's problem. no sir.

line movements? well. i tried like 4 or 5 times. so i don't think it's line movements problem as well.

hey newbie, you stole my plays? lol
you should give me some "commisions" if it wins..

well, I want a book that's more reliable...
having problems on the first bet I ever made with them doesn't help.

Take a sec and reboot and see what happens. Not a pleasant thing, but worth a try.

 

[newbie666]

well strutt. is a nice recommendation..
but, is not his computers fault...
allegedly. the kind of wager movement
plus the load of the webserver at cris (huge volume)... makes that query to ponderously to be posted... i think its an store procedure timeout..
in this case i will recommend to call the CRIS DBA, and clear out this problem...
rebooting customer's computer will not solve the problem...

 

[Fishhead]

Ok newbie, thanks. Aprreciate your helping hand.

 

[NBAlive2005]

nah. i'm taking my business elsewhere, noway i'm spending half an hour each time i place 5-teamers...

 

[NBAlive2005]

sorry guys..
not intend to bash CRIS or anything.
i know they are a rock solid book.

BUT...
i'm an emotional guy. (like most gamblers are)
and it's VERY FRUSTRATING when I can't place a single parlay on 4 or 5 tries.. feel like pulling out my hairs... lol

 

[questionme5]

How much was your wager for? Maybe it's an amounts issue?

 

[Fishhead]

NBA- Check your mail. Thanks

 

[NBAlive2005]

tried $30 and $50...

don't tell me their lowest risk limit for parlay-wager is $500.

Not to mention if you are going to play 5 team parlays you need to get better payoff odds. You can do better than 20 to 1 on a 5 teamer.

 

[DannyMay]

You should try to put the plays through as straight wagers 1 at a time, and them make an if win for the second play, then the third play, and so on.

That might work and you will get something like 30 to 1 odds ( certainly more than 20 to 1 ).

 

[DannyMay]

Like this

Philly Under 170 1/2 $100 to win $90.91

If Win New Orleans Over 182 $190.91 to win $173.60

If Win Milwaukee Over 191 1/2 $364.51 to win $331.4

If Win Atlanta - 4 $795.91 to win $723.55

If Win Dallas - 11 1/2 $1519.46 to win $1381.35


This would return about $2900.81 on a $100 risk . This would get over 28 to 1 odds.

 

[NBAlive2005]

that's very smart..
never tried IF bets... maybe i should.
but can you make 5 IF-bets? simultaneously too?
