Proline was here long before Orville Redenbacher became Premier.
Government betting is for $10 players. I still play on line and settle with my agents weekly. Its easier than Pinnacle.
I wasn't insinuating that Wynne created proline. Just pointing out the idiocy of the province. But if you really want to get technical pro picks originated with Mcguinty. The proline of the early 90's was actually extremely profitable. You had the Sens or Sharks paying 9 to 1 for a straight up win!! Pro picks started in 2005.
