The OLG is getting to greedy now they have 2 basketball pools instead of 1 on saturday which forces them to put such miss match games a 5 dollar player can win and not even double up his money.  The 12 oclock pool has 6 of its 12 games with a spread of over 11 points.  Proline needs to go back to 1 pool a day with good quality matchups.  The reason they are doing this is money they get 40% off the take in a pro-picks pool, so they say the money is tax free then what the hell is the 40%.  you can see all this info on their web site if you don't believe me but you have to look real hard to find it because thats the way they want it

OLG are the worst bookies I have ever dealt with. They keep making it more difficult for us to win. Their rules are even more far fetched. Explain this one to me, in ProPicks, when there is a tie in an NFL game that the tie goes to the visiting team??? I got cut out of the 85k pool, because of this unheard of rule they incorporated. San Fran/St Louis game. I believe they brought that rule up when Phil/NYGiants tied a couple of years ago, and because most took the Giants, they screwed us by using this crap rule. Paul Godfrey, runs OLG, like he ran the BlueJays.

Holy crap i new that the tie in a soccer game went to the visiting team but i had know idea the same rules applied in football i thought they just give dropped the game out off the pool.  I feel for you i would have been half way to Toronto, One rule that works against them is that in baseball when a game is cancelled because of rain if you had that game flipped and you win the pool you win twice, it happened to me last year when i went to send my 1900 dollar ticket out and the women at the raceway ran it through and it said i won 3800 but overall Pro-line has degressed each year because of GREED

Yeh ive seen you have been knocking on the door the only problem with card 48 is if you stick with chalk it will pay like 30 dollars you have to at least get 3 small upsets to win any kind of money.  Played Europa soccer the other day because i'm a degenerate and got 10-12 and 11-12 won the thing with 4 winners.  the funny thing is i just played 5 dollars and picked randomly and i couldn't even watch the games at the bar because the bar tender can't stand soccer
