Many times I, as all of us have, do things that upon reflection do not seem the most proper or popular in the world. I know the majority can understand my thoughts on CRIS & the loyalty points issue.

I am a very Pro Player person. I do not regret that as I see such an overwhelming advantage that the books have over players when the funds are sent. There is really nothing one can do when a book seizes monies from a player.

With that being said, I am never to proud to admit an error on my part. Upon reflection and advice from several people/posters I must take a look at the situation at hand, re-evaluate, & decide if I am right or I could be wrong. I have always been one to give many chances to failures. I have always felt that mistakes should be considered only after time has been given for a party to correct the mistake.

CRIS made a mistake when they did not pay players, but before & since, I have seen nothing stated that would be a bad reflection of CRIS. I cannot be so ignorant that I will not see the mistake in my assumptions. I cannot continue to bring up a single mistake by a sportsbook when I see so much good as well by them.

Many men have made mistakes & stood firmly by their mistakes only to carry the burden of a guilty conscience or depression with them for a long period of time. I refuse to do such. I will keep a clear head and a willingness, interest, and motivation to keep my persona respected in this forum & in real life. Trust is something that is not easily obtained & when ones ability to be trusted in his judgment becomes a problem, there are other ramifications to come.

As in the Marine Corps, Here we have a blending of separate cultures, varying educational levels, & different kinds of social backgrounds, but that does not mean we cannot participate in a comradeship & brotherhood.

I extend an apology to Cris & all affected persons associated with Cris.

Please forgive & remember that effective relations means people being able to work together to accomplish a common goal.

To Joey, I can only apologize. I cannot accept responsibility for his not posting here as one opinion should never warrant any other from participating in a group effort.

I do, however, feel like the comment I made about his integrity was un-called for and will easily offer my apologies.

Good post General:

I am in agreeance with your position that CRIS should have (and still should) pay the player(s) their Loyalty Bonus. I actually hashed it out pretty good with a couple of people over at Major Wager a few months back on this issue.

Having said that, it is obvious that some of the larger players consider CRIS a functional and essential place to play, loyalty bonus or not, and I doubt that this "loyalty bonus" situation is an indication of their (in)ability to pay off winning bets.

As bizarre as it is, I support the continuing recommendation of CRIS as a place to play, but also support keeping the "asterisk" beside their name with regards to the bonus confiscation.

They have had and continue to have an opportunity to fix their "mistake". Until they do such i WILL NOT consider posting up with them.

Don't let others gave you in General. Pride is more important that good standing.

I don't take Generals post as giving in at all, Matter a fact just the opposite. His "pro player" stance has NEVER been and never will be in question. Got that twinkle toes?

I'm not saying CRIS isn't safe, just unethical.

General is obviously under heavy pressure to keep CRIS in good light & not lose Joey C over the ordeal ... as much as I respect him I have a hard time buying this one as a "from the heart confession".

I'm not a CRIS crusade - I've heard great things about them ... but there are more ethical shops out there to choose from - I see no reason to choose CRIS over them (except for the 5 cent overnight MLB lines, but still).

General: Apology accepted.

Jay: Been on vacation this week, in Mexico, with your buddy, and saw this mess.

I couldn't access this posting forum from there.

Take care buddy.

Joey,

For some strage reason, Sprint has yet to list the new url of our posting forum, thereby causing some gamblers not to be able to access this forum.

I believe this should be fixed shortly, but more importantly, welcome back home...

You have been missed (like a bad toothache)...

Ken:

If you closely read my post, I said I haven't been posting much on the Rx, and would continue in that mode.

I never said I would completely stop posting here.

I still don't know WTF your General gets off by saying I'm nothing but about the money!

I said apology accepted, but I still have my memory in order.

BTW, Puerto Vallarta was just great - a little warm, but excellent restaurants, fishing and many beautiful "beeches" to choose from.

general this is all very touching about how you see "so much good" by CRIS and you carry a heavy burden in your heart for not seeing all that good before,but what are you talking about? Did micky take over for Mother Theresa or something? He stole and you now decided thats OK because of "all that good" done by a bookie. This is supposed to be a late April fools joke, right?
And all Joey C has ever done is lie about some phony software glitch and be a shill for CRIS so I am glad you 2 are going to be sweethearts again you are meant for each other. Joey C is a liar.

I'm not sure if you're worthless or just plain stupid.

Why in the world would I post instructions on the net, how one could manulipate the bonus point system problems that Cris has had?

You want to call me a liar, fine. You want to call me a shill fine. I really don't give a fuk about your opinions, because your opinions have no value.... What are your credentials?

Very classy post General. Plenty of men will reflect back on something they have done but few will post an apology and admit it could have been handled better. Takes a man to offer an up an apology like this.

Reveals a lot about who we are dealing with, thanks General.
