PRO•LINE

When it comes to playing PRO•LINE, the lower the odds, the higher the payout. And the higher the risk. While you may be tempted to bet on the potential of a higher payout, these bets are less likely to win.

Sports Betting in 2021 2020 was a very strange year with the global pandemic affecting the sports world in a major way. Several events such as the Olympics and Euro 2020 were postponed, while others were.

Do OLG odds vary from other books?

A panel of sports analysts manages OLG sports lottery games, each with a strong background in statistics and sports knowledge. A number of sources are checked when determining the odds, using all available sports industry information. No matter the odds, there are no guaranteed outcomes when it comes to sports gambling. Anything can happen.

OLG products do not mirror exactly what Las Vegas and sportsbooks offer, making comparisons difficult. You will find that even among all sportsbooks, there can be different product offerings, odds, and payout structures.

What if the industry odds change?

Unlike Vegas sportsbooks or online betting websites, OLG odds are fixed. That means that once they are set, they don’t change. With so many sports and events available for wager, this simplifies the process of determining odds. Players can also make decisions with greater confidence, knowing the odds won’t change before the event takes place.

Should an event experience a change in industry odds resulting in unbalanced wagering, OLG will close/suspend wagering for that event. This allows OLG to protect the integrity of the game. All existing wagers made prior to the suspension/close will be honoured.

Can I increase my odds of winning?

It is possible to increase your odds of winning by increasing the number of betting combinations you play to cover all possibilities. While this may seem like a good strategy, the costs of additional bets will be subtracted from any potential winnings, which are not guaranteed. This could also potentially put you over your play budget.

TIP

All OLG sports lottery products have a maximum of $100 per customer, per product, per day.

Sports betting has been around for a long time. And while even earlier civilizations likely bet on some forms of competition, it was the ancient Greeks who cemented the relationship between sport and wagers with the development of the Olympic Games. Records are a bit shaky, but historical artifacts appear to show Olympic spectators betting on everything from running and chariot races to wrestling and pankration, an ancient form of boxing.

After the ancient Greeks is where things really start getting interesting. Over the centuries, as sports and wagering evolved to develop the mechanics we’re now familiar with—over and unders, parlays, odds, etc.—opportunities have opened to allow for bets on virtually any sport, decision or activity.

Cheese-rolling

Like cheese? Then you’ll love cheese-rolling, a “sport” that sees competitors chase after 9 lb wheels of cheese, rolled down a hill at speeds of up to 110 km/h. The action takes place at Cooper’s Hill in Gloucester, England with wagers taken by London’s world-famous bookmakers.

Man vs. Horse

Like many notable human endeavours, the idea for the Man vs. Horse race was dreamed up in a pub. The year was 1980. Locals at the Neuadd Arms, a watering hole in Llanwrtyd in Powys, Wales, argued over who would win a long-distance race—man or horse? Bets have been placed on this race going on 40 years now, with a human beating the horse only twice.

Surfing

Some people might enjoy a good book when they hit the beach, but high-stakes surf fans prefer a solid bookie. At major surfing events like the Rip Curl Pro or Billabong Pipemasters, the overs and unders of surfing legends take the sport of wave riding up a serious notch. Suntanned bookmakers take wagers on which surfer will outride the competition in their next heat or full event. Radical brah!

Royal Baby Naming

Sportsbetting Ag Phone Number

You might not fancy name-predicting as a sport, but when it comes to the British royal family, people sure bet on it like it is. Preferring the real world of Kings and Queens to those in a deck of cards, a woman in England won £18,120 by betting £120 with 150 to 1 odds that Harry and Meghan would name their baby Archie. She must’ve been right chuffed!
