sports select, proline

[dawger]

Anyone here from Canadan should have heard about this..

I have stopped playing because I was losing too much but I just looked at it again, now they have baseball ties which are games decided within one run..

In basketball a tie is a game decided within 5 points.. football within 3 points..

they used to post odds for baseball games a week in advanced but they no longer do that.

They require you to select at least a 3 team parlay up to a 6 gamer..

If anyone plays this can they please reply.. I'd like some thoughts..

I used to play that before I knew about online sportsbooks... It's called Sports action over here...

Anyways something interesting about what you just brought up about ties in baseball... Last year I remember reading an article in our lotto Magazine and it points out Big Winners in the lottos and Sports Action..
And there was this one guy that had something like 5 different sports action tickets that payed out over $60,000 each... He had something like 1-2 of them each week.. (so that was 5 huge winning tickets in just that months Magazine.. who knows how many other times he has won...) Anyways, it said something about him playing TIES...
Back then I didn't wager on baseball just on Hockey and Football... So didn't look into it..

So he was probably playing 5-6 games per ticket and going for those 1 run tie games...
Had to have been high odds because maximum bet per ticket is $100...

Maybe worth looking into now

Here the max bet on a ticket is $25 a pop but you can just get 4 of them if you wanted to bet $100...

Last night on the national with peter mansbridge or whatever after the hockey game they had a peice on it of people who exploit the odds and have made millions of dollars on it.. its harder now because they wait till a day or so before hand to put the odds up.. before they'd post the odds to thursdays games on the thursday before hand.. so if their were any rainouts and starting pitchers got switched then it was easy to take advantage of any line differences.. But this guy has won millions, it showed the stacks of tickets.. He buys hundreds of tickets a night.. They showed a stack of tickets he had on the night they done the article and it was like a foot big.

I've been looking at these odds and they are watered down odds, I don't see how anyone could gain an edge betting on them.
