March 29 parlay .... opinions?

That has pro-line written all over it.... worst odds around, and plays like a freeplay... you don't get the risked amount back.

My advice, stay away.

That said, I would be careful with Buffalo... Boston is right on the edge of a playoff spot.

Best of Luck.

Looks ok to me, but like any parlay, it's going to be tough to hit all of them. Good luck!

proline yes .. only risking 4$ on 2 tickets

if you use a book and you risk 100 to get 120 .. do you get 220 back? im not sure how this really works because i couldnt really see people risking 100$ to profit 20$

painful obvious question i know .. but any information would be appreciated

Ty in advance

That is correct. With a book, if you risk 100 to win 200, you end up with your original 100 + 200 = 300 in your account. if playing proline, and risk 100 to win 200, you only get the 200. It's quite the scam.

could someone please give the short version of "proline"?
from what ive read(all of it here) i gather its some sort of legalized sportsbook with $ filtering back to the (total guess) the govt or local legislature

(in canada of course-available at local shops?)

if its on the up and up how can they scam you w/o putting it in black and white on the ticket? hell, i dont even know if they are "tickets"...lol

Technically it's not a scam. It's all there for you to know exactly what you are betting and winning. I call it a scam, just because the odds are terrible. The payout does not include the risked amount (for example, if you put $100 on a 3 team parlay at 6-1 odds, the ticket pays 600, as opposed to a book that would pay 700... risk + win), and you can not make less than a two team parlay if playing spreads, and less than a 3 team parlay on money lines. It's a massive money grab for the lotto corp.

It's run by the goverment owned lottery corp, and tickets are purchased where you buy lotto tickets. Some provinces allow you to play online, but in Ontario it's cash at a kiosk.

some times there are anomalies but overall not worth the trouble...then there is the look the clerk gives you when you hand him 50 plays at $50 a pop...then cashing the tickets...I went like a month trying to cash tickets 1 time
