Who is this guy who basically has the final say for the entire world to follow?
I've never heard him referenced anywhere.

When SBR visits CRIS, I wonder if they get to see the "war room" where the opening numbers are created....

They probably have like, a dozen undocumented china men working #'s at all hours of the day.
They feed them rice and imitation beef broth.

They get the opening #'s from a lineservice out of Vegas, then make there own adjustments. As far as H/T #'s they pay a handicapper who calls them with the opening #.

So Cris gets the number from LVSC? I thought the number truly originated off-shore.....

In fact, I thought I heard an interview with Kenny White, that they do not supply the off-shore line....
Gotta try to track down that audio...

They get the #, and let a few select individuals hit the line first, before it goes public. After the bets come in and the line is tightened up, they then release it to the public.

Whoever sets the lines at Cris should get a swift kick to the crotch.
They have the worst baseball lines of anyone not named CreditWagering.

There are alot of guys that are off the grid, who could be supplying them with an opening line. Whether its LVSC or guys that have worked for them in the past i cant say for sure? Ive been out of the CRIS loop for a few years, but the old dog that runs CRIS, wouldnt stray too far away from a formula that has made him successful for more then 20 years. You can take that to the bank!

The line Slick is asking about is the the sunday afternoon opening FB lines. The owner of CRIS has been using a shit .20cent baseball line forever, and he will never go to a dime line. I hope your not using CRIS for your only baseball out Kobe?

offshore opens the number before lvsc releases
there is a post on another popular forum which explains how it is done, because he was there as happened, nothing like what has been described above

I never said that LVSC gave them the opening line, i said they get a line, from an outside source, they let a few select bettors hit it first, and then they make it public.

How about 2 swift kicks to the crotch. Their mlb lines must be done by a crackhead.
