Comments:
BookMaker.com, a new website recently acquired by Costa Rican International Sports (The BetCRIS Group), is now servicing the majority of BetCRIS players. BetCRIS transferred all U.S. accounts to BookMaker on March 1st 2007.

To say that BetCRIS Group is a leader in the offshore business is an understatement. This is the place where all lines start. Most books will not even open a betting line until CRIS oddsmakers have established the number. The days of watching Las Vegas have long since past. This is a high-volume bookmaker that takes $5,000 bets as routinely as most books take $100 bets. This is where professional players play. In a day where successful players find that their limits are cut for winning too much, players can win without limit at BetCRIS and get paid with a smile into the millions of dollars.

For just about as long as there has been offshore wagering, there has been BetCRIS. This is a very large and established operation that is best suited for the sophisticated player as well as large recreational players who typically wager $500 per event or more.
