Rules of the Game
- When the combined total score of both teams matches equal to exactly the Over/Under number, the event will be considered a “PUSH” and the odds for the event, for the over and the odds for the under wager, shall be assigned an odds value of 1.00.
- The “O” represents the total score of a game to be “Over” the number set by OLG. The “U” represents the total score of a game to be “Under” the number set by OLG.
- You cannot select a V+ and V outcome or an H+ and H Outcome on the same event.A player can only select one of the V+, V, T, H, H+ outcomes. However the player can make an O or U selection on the same event.
- Also you don’t have to make an O/U pick when playing Pro line. The Over/Under wager is an option. Players can make a ticket with the V+, V, T, H, H+ outcomes for a minimum of three events.
- But you can make a Pro Line ticket by selecting only over/under outcomes. You must select at least three outcomes to place a wager. Players must select at least three outcomes. That means a player can make a Pro Line wager and an Over/Under wager on the same sport event for a total of two Outcomes The player would then have to make at least one wager on another sport event to have the minimum of three outcomes. There can be a maximum of 99 events offered for wagering at any one time.
- Also there is a time limit to the wagers that Pro line will accept. For this there are various controls in order to protect the financial integrity and these controls include the limits on Pro line sales to individual customers, daily maximums for each retail account, and maximum payouts. For individual customers, the limit is $100 wagered for both Pro Line and Point Spread on any one day.
- For each of the sports games, the maximum pay in a day is $5 million plus two times the sales for those tickets for which the final event takes place that day. The most pay on any individual sports game ticket is $600,000. The most a player can spend on sports is unchanged at $100 per day for each of Proline and Point Spread.
- For most sports, under Proline rules whenever an event offered for wagering is postponed or cancelled, the odd for that selection on your wager reverts to 1.0 and that selection counts as being “correct”. If you are correct with all the other selections on your wager, then you still win.
- Unclaimed prizes from Proline are directed to OLG profits paid to the provincial government to benefit the people of Ontario.
