Bookmaker.com services the majority of BetCRIS players. That’s because it was recently acquired by Costa Rican International Sports, which is the BetCRIS group. BetCRIS Transferred all U.S. accounts to Bookmaker on March 1st, 2007. The BetCRIS Group is a leader in the offshore business. It is the place where all of the lines start and a lot of books will not even open a betting line until CRIS oddsmakers have established the number. It is a very high-volume bookmaker that is always dealing with very expensive bets. It is a place for sophisticated players as well as recreational players and is a great place for professional players to play.
