interesting email I got from CRIS explaining the downtime

RobFunk · May 18, 2003

BetCRIS would like to apologize for any inconvenience you may have had
accessing our website in the last 48 hours. We hope to have the
situation resolved shortly and get back to business as usual.

There is a group of programmers performing a denial of service attack
on our website. This has become quite common in the new world of
e-commerce. A denial of service attack prevents surfers and clients from
being able to view our web pages. In short our online business comes to a
standstill and customers are unable to access their online accounts.
We have made arrangements to lower our telephone limits to $5 until we
are up and running at full online capacity.

We would like to thank you for your business and appreciate your
patience. As a result of this situation, we will have a special bonus
announcement for all of our online customers for the remainder of the NBA
playoffs.

Bad things come to those who Steal.

JoeyC · May 18, 2003

General:

I don't post much on the Rx anymore, and you're smug attitude is one of the main reasons.

In the board room you want to kick out posters and control their comments too much too frequently.

Your comments regarding CRIS 'Bad Things come to those who steal' are dumb and not worth spit.

If Shrink would get off his lazy ass and hire a real leader to moderate, the Rx would be better off.

I've always been a great advocate of free choice, so without further delay, I'll be posting, for the most part, at MW, or at least until you make a apology to Cris, on this forum.

Not too long ago, the Rx was hacked. Now Cris gets hacked and you make those punk ass remarks?

Could one then make the assumptions that all theifs get their web sites hacked?

TheGeneral+ · May 18, 2003

You have your thoughts & I have mine. I am just speaking facts here. No evidence came forward to differ.

JoeyC · May 18, 2003

General

Like I said, I couldn't stand you're smug ass attitude.

You don't have a fukking clue when it comes to calling people theifs. I wouldn't bet with 1/2 the books touted here Rx, because they are shakey, and you throw stones at Cris.

General, plain and simple you're a fukking Moron.

Joey C
Life's full of choices, you stay, and I'll leave.

OHLUCKYME · May 18, 2003

Another bookie who can't take criticism but can dish it out.

jjgold · May 18, 2003

top 5 book in the world hands down

JoeyC · May 18, 2003

FACTS BE KNOWN ABOUT THE BONUS ABUSE, THEY HAD CERTAIN GLITCHES IN THE SOFTWARE, WHICH I WON'T ELABORATE ON, ALLOWING SOME WISE ASSES TO TAKE UNFAIR ADVANTAGES OF THE BONUS LOYALTY PROGRAM.

THE PLAYER WAS TRYING TO STEAL FROM CRIS.

Cris is one of the most honorable shops in the world - END OF STORY.

JoeyC · May 18, 2003

Keith:

I can take critism. I'm don't work for them or am not involved in their management.

TheGeneral+ · May 18, 2003

I agree Joey.

Cris is solid & Cris is bad

It is up to each reader to decide for themselves i think.

I think all players should make up their own mind on any book & on my posting style. I like to think that your attack on me is very much false. In that matter too, it is up to each poster to decide. Your complaint is maybe the first of it's kind about me.

I guess it could be agenda driven.

"FACTS BE KNOWN ABOUT THE BONUS ABUSE, THEY HAD CERTAIN GLITCHES IN THE SOFTWARE, WHICH I WON'T ELABORATE ON, ALLOWING SOME WISE ASSES TO TAKE UNFAIR ADVANTAGES OF THE BONUS LOYALTY PROGRAM."

Interesting ... if true, this would certainly explain their reluctance to pay out the loyalty points.

JoeyC · May 18, 2003

General:

'I like to think that your attack on me is very much false'

LMFAO...I really don't care what you would like to think, YOUR WRITING CRAP WITHOUT THINKING.

NAME 7 BOOKS THAT WITH MORE CASH IN THE BANK THAN CRIS?

What agenda do I have with Cris? I don't work there, and aren't part of their management.

JoeyC · May 18, 2003

Halifax. It's true.

joey,

is there some way we can verify this? if so, i think the asterisk should come off the page next to their name.

Buzzsaw · May 18, 2003

CRIS is a industry leader plain and simple. The IBM of this category. What happened with the loyalty program was not right but since has been corrected.

JoeyC · May 18, 2003

RPM:

Don't you have enough common sense to figure out if Cris wanted this known, they would have posted the info here?

They got a software glitch, and obviously don't want to spend the untold manhours necessary to consistantly monitor the problem.

UncleButternutts · May 18, 2003

I know for certain that Joey C is right. And, i have tried explaining the same thing, but got "everyone is welcome to their opinion" in response.

If CRIS came in here, and explained what happened, it would open them up to the same thing all over again.

Instead, they just keep a lid on it, and absorb the abuse here and at other sites.

I would not post the info here either, it isn't worth it. So, all they can do is hope that eventually people see that they are still one of the elite books in the industry.
And that hopefully this will eventually blow over.

No doubt though, some people will be bashing them months or even years from now because of this.

TheGeneral+ · May 18, 2003

I never seen anyone say "Do not play @ Cris".

I think all Gamblers should be aware of the business principles. In that matter, they seized $2000 from a poster. No details given. Some prominent people agreed they should pay & just now, several months later we are getting a small piece of info from a non employee, not involved with management poster.

For all new posters. Read the story & decide if you would rather play @ Cris or another book.
