Note regarding BetCris; they do not calculate using cents, so if you are to be paid 9.90 on a wager they round DOWN and only pay 9.00

I ran into an incident with them last weekend, they set a line at -151 instead of -150, no big deal right? wrong…you have to wager whole dollars so you cant wager 15.10 to win 10.00, you have to wager 15 or 16; 15 to win 9 and 16 to win 10, so they are almost ripping you for a dollar either way…not good.

I don’t have a problem with the site or how they operate I just think it is crap that they don’t post lines that match up with how they accept and payout wagers. In the example above the extra -001 was the difference in .90.

I guess I could just wager $151 and it would all be good but I am not that level of player so it affects me and (potentially) losing a dollar or close to one each wager is costly.

That example is the worse case scenario but you are right.
If you compare your amount "AVAILABLE" to your "HISTORY".....they are "OFF" by that DIFFERENCE.

Online Sportsbooks Take Large Financial Hit During NFL Draft

BetCRIS Sportsbook pays out huge for Reggie Bush going #2.

New York – Experts and analysts everywhere penciled in running back Reggie Bush from Southern California as the guaranteed number one pick overall in the 2006 NFL draft. Even online Bookmakers such as BetCRIS Sportsbook gave 1 to 8 odds the Houston Texans would select him. However, the Texans had other plans and late Friday night signed defensive end Mario Williams from N.C. State solidifying him as their number one pick the following afternoon.

Because of this, BetCRIS took a huge hit and paid out big to bettors. The online sportsbook set the odds at 6 to 1 that Houston would not draft the running back some were calling the next Gale Sayers. Meaning, for every $100 bet placed on Bush not being taken by the Texans, $600 were paid out.

“Reggie Bush is one of those athletes that only come around once in a lifetime,” said BetCRIS CEO, Mickey Richardson. “I’m still floored by the fact that the Houston Texans passed on him.”

In addition, BetCRIS Sportsbook also lost money on the odds set for Bush’s USC teammate QB Matt Leinart. They had the Oakland Raiders with the number seven pick as the favorite. Unfortunately for BetCRIS, Leinart dropped all the way back to Dennis Green and the Arizona Cardinals.

“We took a bath on both of these,” Richardson continue to say. “But that’s sports betting for you. A lot of wise NFL fans are enjoying a big payout this week.”
