    If I were in Europe, I would not play with any book located offshore, I'd stick with Canbet and the other UK licensed brick and mortar shops that offer online and phone wagering.

    Even though Cris is said to be a reputable book, they are located in a third world country -Costa Rica. I'd rather trust a licensed establishment in Europe.

    Canbet have no brick and mortar shops, nor for that matter do 365 any more.

    100% correct

    Offshore books have trouble etting players from Aussie and UK areas

    The point of my post was to show that these places are reputable, your money is secure and they are licensed in a first world nation and that they would be a better choice than ANY book located in Costa Rica. The rest is trivial. I believe I said: "If I were in Europe", even though I am not, Canbet, Coral, Ladbrokes etc. etc. are available to me and I'm comfortable playing there.

    If you can prove that you have a Matchbook Platinum account, the bonus is increased to 50%.

    Betplom i use to believe EXACTLY the same thing you did about that U.K. 1st world vs 3rd world bullsh*t & maybe the good old traditional British INDEPENDENTLY own brick and mortar betting shop( if they still exist) might still be viable if individually own by a genuine BRITISH book makers might qualified under your assessment.However the industry both in Vegas and the U.K. as been taken over by these f*ck face corporate bean counters whom have no clue!! In Vegas because of the competition & that they are "walk-ins" books they are force to play ball and you can get by therefore. But as far as the ONLINE offshore sportsbooks EUROPE (specifically GREAT BRITAIN) is the assh*le of the online sports book world.Check every single LEGITIMATE review sites for the players experiences with EURO/ U.K. books and you will find out unequivocally that they are all using "boiler room" operating practices worthy of the most primitive mud hut in a jungle,all under the watchful and protective eye of British gaming commission. How many times have they F*ck unsuspecting players with "fake" lines or bait them into opening large accounts waiting for the inevitable moment when a heavy losing streak occurs ,to only SHOUT THEIR ACCOUNTS DOWN!!,THUS denying them any chance of coming back and go forward.And of course if you win to much they you get limited to $2.50!!!!Anyone whom claim that they can bet in EUROPE(specifically the U.K.) large bets(and not worry) as i red on another thread earlier today on SBR is lying either because they are SHILLS or just little jerk-off talking out of their asses!!

    Coming from you with your history, I do (doubt it).

    Normally if I saw a thread like this I would just think, 'Sure. Whatever.'

    But coming from you, I would need to see corroboration from someone with credibility who got the offer - or perhaps a name of someone at CRIS who could confirm it. Then I would need to see someone (other than you or Jamie) contact that CRIS person and post that it is confirmed.

    Then I would say, "Sure. Whatever."

    UK Special here.

    Don't get me wrong, I believe Matchbook Platinum accounts don't really exist.

    Now you see, Magnavox has credibility.

    So now there is reason to believe the deal is real and my reaction is, "Sure. Whatever."

    Carry on.
