Diamond is part of the CRIS group, right? That includes Bookmaker.com.

The 8% is for exotics. It's 3% for WPS.

Diamond and Bookmaker are both "A" rated at Sportsbookreview.com.

Sportsbook.com is "D-" rated at Sportsbookreview.com. Here's why:

Here's a small part from that link:

Sportsbook.com (SBR rating D-) steals $10,000 from player claiming he abused bonuses. The player took offered deposit bonuses over a three year period from three different books that are hosted and serviced under Sportsbook.com. Sportsbook.com classified accepting these bonuses as "bonus abuse" despite the fact that rules against accepting offers from the multiple Sportsbook.com-service books do not exist and that the player followed the listed terms of service when joining. Sportsbook.com confisctated the funds shortly after the player's profit grew beyond what he had received in bonuses over the life of these accounts. All bonus requirements were met and previously withdrawn. Sportsbook.com terms of service do not refer to a rule allowing the book to audit account and bonus history to see if promotions were used "in the spirit of the bonus." This has been a reoccurring complaint from Sportsbook.com users over the past few months. Sportsbook.com has used other illogical reasoning to take money back from winning users. SBR is currently collecting data on a player case where over $150,000 was confiscated. The timeline of player and book activity will be published early next week."



Not good.

They are changing their policy in 2008 with the free pp's. They are going back to the old policy of the pp is free if you wager on the track. A $2 show bet will still get you the free pp for the track if you can't find anything to bet. The good news is that the service rep that I spoke to said NYRA will be a regular track again with video and on-line wagering effective Jan 1.
