Brock Landers · Oct 24, 2006

They're both CRIS-family books, but are the most differentiated of the family, imo. Diamond offers a 10c line during the regular MLB season (up to 150 I believe, and 15c to 190) whereas CRIS and the others offer 20c lines. The betting limits at Diamond are c. $2k during the reg season, as opposed to $5k at CRIS.

Apart from this, I think they are about the same - ultra solid, quick payouts (with high fees) and decent CS.

Yes, I get 20 cent lines at DSI, for me there is almost no difference between the two places.

I thought it was odd that i could deposit by a variety of methods there, but the options for withdrawals were quite limited....

For example, i can deposit by Click2pay, but can;t withdraw those funds that way.

yeah ive played at both for a long time, aside from the limits, they could be labled as identical twins. Some links for DSI even take you to some Cris webpages.

the loyality program it cris is better. You are basically getting -109 at Cris with the loyality program.

DSI's program is identical ( for me). Only difference is they don't have hats and shirts, but the FP money is the same.

I know people at both books, and both are great. I have very good personal relationships with the people I know at DSI, so I'd give them edge based on that. Both stores are among the best in the business...
