A brief BetCRIS history Visit BetCRIS Save For Later Posted by Chris Carter 23 Jul 2008 Tweet Related Articles See all Industry news Share it Pin It A In 1985 BetCRIS opened the world’s first offshore sportsbook in the Dominican Republic. Designed as a simple call center for customers to place their wagers; this innovative idea was the start of the billion dollar sports wagering industry. The gaming community quickly took notice and BetCRIS’ reputation continued to grow. Names like “Caribbean” or “Island line” were used. Always the first to post lines, the phrase “Where the Line Originates” was born, attracting the world’s sharpest and biggest players. Soon every line service, Las Vegas sportsbook and bookmaker depended upon BetCRIS to create a market place for sports bettors all over the world. It is no secret, every U.S. and some Euro bookmakers actively monitor BetCRIS’ lines and odds every minute of the day. Specialized media has qualified BetCRIS as having the “ability to move the betting lines on most US sports”. However, BetCRIS has also been establishing very ambitious goals to keep up with the “Where the Line Originates” concept and still cater to all types of players. To this date, no other company offers a range of sports betting and entertainment options that can gather both professional and recreational players in the same place. All customers receive the same lines and odds.
