Question for British Columbian SportsAction Players

Is this a pool? Odd that perfect poolers would have to share with the imperfect.

I'm in Ontario, can't help.

Your winning will be a surprise, enjoy the suspense.

When dealing with offshore it is always best to expect $0

It's not offshore, dummy. He's talking about the big provincial bookie:

When there's an edge, absolutely.

Dennis-

I don't have an answer, but am interested in what you eventually win. Also what did you have to pay to player?

fiveteamer · 10-12-09, 10:50 AM

You are asking what the triactor will pay out.

Impossible to know until you actually see the payouts.

JoshW · 10-13-09, 11:10 AM

You get paid yet?

Dennis, I had 12/13 waay back in 1993 when I was in Vancouver, had to go to Richmond to collect the prize, I got $1800 for my ticket.

I used to love playing sports action toto - each combination was $0.20, compared to Ontario where each combination on a ticket is $5!!!

I live in Vancouver but I'm not sure of the ballpark range. I haven't won yet. I was 10/13 last weekend. Carolina got stuffed at the goal line in the first half, even a FG and maybe they win by 4+ instead of 3. I got worked by the Falcons and Seahawks...

When there is an advantage its convenient since you can walk down to the corner store and buy your ticket or cash your winnnings. One can only bet a max of $200 per ticket, but you could just buy several of the same tickets anyhow

LOL well huge disappointment for me and my buddy. We spent $54 on our ticket which gave us 7 singles, 3 doubles, 3 triples. Basically how it breaks down. The max you can spend is like $940 I believe, and the minimum is $2. Three choices per game, HOME, VISITOR or TIE. Tie is a win by 3 pts or less. Anyways we went 12/13, had Bills single they choked. The breakdown of prizes is weird, 20% to 13/13, 20% to 12/13 and 20% to 11/13 with 40% going to the provincial government.

Prize Category Winners Prize Total
13/13 50 803.50 $40,175.00
12/13 1026 39.16 $40,178.16
11/13 8214 4.89 $40,166.46
TOTAL 9290 $120,519.62

Had to split the 40k with 1026 people

LOL so we lost money overall. It was an easy Sunday for the most part. Our buddy told us we were getting like 3k for sure, and offered to buy our ticket for 1k. In hindsight we should have taken it LOL.

DennisGreen · 10-14-09, 02:39 AM

If only this was the result from Sunday

Would be loving life right now. This was the same thing from a few weeks back, obv a way tougher day of pigskin.

Final cut-off was: Sunday, September 20, 2009 10:00 AM

Prize Category Winners Prize Total
13/13 0 0.00 $0.00
12/13 1 72,386.10 $72,386.10
11/13 36 1,005.36 $36,192.96
TOTAL 37 $108,579.06
