any members still use Proline?

[deadlift_405]

I remember when I first started gambling I used Proline picks to make some money. It use to force you to parlee 3 games in order to win but you never had to put down juice for favorites , it just lowered your winnings ( for ppl that dont know). When you won however it was a good take?

wondering if anyone still uses Proline or have they all gotten more from online gambling sites?

I got a buddy who swears by it, he only bets pro line nothing online, he uses line movement to determine his picks. from what he tells me he does rather well I just have a hard time believing it trying to hit 3 teamers every night

I also like many Canadians first started betting on sports through proline. After getting older and learning more I realize also like many that it gives shit odds and forces one to play a minimum of 3 game parlays which is a joke. Nowadays the only real benefit of getting a proline ticket is first and foremost never to take more than 3 games on it. Second is to only take 3 games that will give you better odds than what the exact same 3 teamer would be on an online sportsbook. This is based on the discrepancies of OLG fucking up odds and making errors. When 3 games can be found that are all more value then what one can get online (or in real vegas odds) that is the only time I get a ticket. Heres a good website that compares prolines "fake odds" to vegas sportsbooks "real odds":

yes, i use it very sporadically though now, they definitely do give crappy odds. I was kicking some butt on it though back in the day they used to have point spreads for hockey, they now don't have point spread for hockey.


also this book is rather good

Absolutely hate it and I have a very good proline record...

The odds suck, it's hard enough to pick 1 or 2 good picks a night, let alone 3... most people I know who do well at Proline usually bet on NFL only..

I still use it along with my sportsbook. It's especially good for line movement. They can't change their odds and they seldom cancel a game so you can really cash in on late injuries or other circumstances. I play two heavy favorites and the 3rd game I try to catch one with a bad line compared to vegas. For example, the other day vegas had the over/under for nets vs grizzlies at 187, proline had it at 193 so I took the under. The total ended up being 189 that game so I won.

It is tough though. You really have to piece together a good set of games. I only play 3 games, no more than that ever. Earlier on in the NHL season when every game was going over, I made a killing betting 3 overs a night.
