I just checked on my end and I currently couldn't access the site either. Hopefully, it will be up soon.

Wow, Cris sites has been down for six hours now. I wonder how this will effect the industry since nearly all the books get their lines from them.

I guess, they would switch to following The Greeks or maybe Pinnacle's opening lines.

Has anyone tried calling any of the Cris sites?

Ah, after seeing that Diamond Sportsbook was down also, I did a trace:

This is Bookmaker:

4 1 14 1 129.250.2.228 xe-0-1-0.r20.hstntx01.us.bb.gin.ntt.net
5 11 8 8 129.250.3.129 as-0.r20.dllstx09.us.bb.gin.ntt.net
6 207 101 206 129.250.2.154 po-1.r02.dllstx09.us.bb.gin.ntt.net
7 8 8 8 4.68.63.225 te-10-1-0.edge2.dallas3.level3.net
8 8 18 17 4.68.19.62 vlan69.csw1.dallas1.level3.net
9 16 18 17 4.69.136.121 ae-61-61.ebr1.dallas1.level3.net
10 46 46 46 4.69.133.1 ae-6-6.car1.miami1.level3.net

13 49 49 49 190.7.163.2 -

This is Diamond's:

4 1 1 1 129.250.2.228 xe-0-1-0.r20.hstntx01.us.bb.gin.ntt.net
5 9 9 11 129.250.3.129 as-0.r20.dllstx09.us.bb.gin.ntt.net

7 6 9 13 4.68.63.225 te-10-1-0.edge2.dallas3.level3.net
8 15 18 17 4.68.19.254 vlan99.csw4.dallas1.level3.net
9 9 17 18 4.69.136.133 ae-91-91.ebr1.dallas1.level3.net

11 48 46 48 4.69.133.14 ae-13-13.car3.miami1.level3.net
12 46 46 46 4.71.208.34 wbs-connect.car3.miami1.level3.net
13 49 49 46 190.7.162.2 -
14 Timed out Timed out Timed out


As you can see that hub at 190.7.162.2 must be down. By-the-way, that hub is in Costa Rica...

Well, okay, the CRIS network includes Bookmaker and Diamond. Should have just looked at the SBR Rating Guide.
