Terrible odds, forced parlays, forced betting range $2 to $100. Squarest overall "sports book" going. Run by the Ontario gov't.
Their first set of lines come out Tuesday night at midnight. They don't move again until Friday, where they are set for the weekend. You might see a -2.5 offshore; OLGC line could open at -3 and move to -6.5. There are normally a couple of games a week like this.
I've only used this as a guage in NFL and NCAAF betting, tho. Have no idea how it fares in other sports.

The_Man said:what do you mean how do they not get crushed? they are making a killing forcig players to bet 3 team parlays and having to lay -130/-140 to win 100. actually thats highway robbery and im sure the are making a killing off the squares betting into them.
i dont know how much stock you can put into wagerline either. how would they know anyway. what do they have a drect feed from every offshore book out there that is updated by the nanosecond?
