    CRIS- Bookmaker -Where the line originates? NOT
    Is this a joke? I've had a Bookmaker account for just a few months now and as far as boxing goes, they're simply followers and the last to put out a line that is often priced a bit worse on both sides than other books. No sharp oddsmaker willing to put themselves out there a bit. Maybe they don't care about non-mainstream sports and they get their A+ rating in football, hoops, etc.

    CRIS only takes leads on the major US sports. Everything else they just straddle the market at full or full-plus holds. I'd imagine in boxing, probably more than any other sport, line-setters would get their heads taken off sticking their necks out. Very little data, all insider information.

      Jamie mentioned the same thing for hockey. Maybe they just dont have the bookmaking talent to open those lines. We will ask them.

        Every book follows Las Vegas Sports Consultants. Some follow them quicker then others but THEY ARE ALL FOLLOWERS. Now, for sports that the LVSC doesn't cover, it may be another story. However, CRIS's slogan is the biggest joke of all time for all LVSC covered sports.

              cris may not be originating boxing lines, and actually there is a very good reason why, but as far as limits go for minor bouts they're one of the best. 1k base limits a pop on ml and total is v respectable despite 30c juice on sides and 40c juice on totals considering the alternatives: 500 limits on greek, 250 limits on 5dimes, and 100 limits on pinny..

                That was a long, long time ago. Not at all true today.

                        The answer is nowhere, because they are worthless compared to actual openers that come up at cris, greek, or pinnacle.
                        I don't know what you're talking about, the numbers are usually followed exactly.
