Proline NCAA Basketball Betting: Compare Odds To Sportsbooks

Whenever you’re thinking about doing some Proline NCAA basketball betting, it’s a good idea to compare the point spreads to online sportsbooks like Bodog, Bet365, Pinnacle Sports and 5Dimes.

There are often quite a few disparities between Proline and sportsbook spreads on every sport, and college basketball is no different.

Comparing the spreads is helpful for two reasons. First, it’s obviously a good thing to get the best line on each game, since so many games are decided close to the point spread. And second, since sportsbook odds change throughout the day while Proline odds remain the same, you can get a good sense of which way the money is going on each game by watching the online sportsbooks.

If you get the better point spreads on your games by betting on Proline, go with a Proline ticket. But if the point spreads are better at the online sportsbooks, it might be worth signing up for a sportsbook account. And remember, online sportsbooks only require…

Proline Soccer Betting: Premier League Preview

The Super Bowl may have marked the end of the NFL football season, but there’s still plenty of football to bet on these days.

European football — or soccer, as most of us Canadians call it — is heating up with a few big games on tap for this weekend.

Here’s a preview of what lies ahead in the Premier League if you plan on betting at Proline. Or, if you want to get better odds by using an offshore sportsbook, remember that Pinnacle Sports offers the best odds on all sports.

Manchester United vs. Liverpool (Feb 11)

The spotlight will be on both Manchester United and Liverpool as they meet at Old Trafford in what is expected to be a fiery derby encounter.

There will be even more attention on the game as it is the first time Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra play against one another since the two were involved in a race incident.

Suarez was subsequently banned for eight games and will be raring to go at Old Trafford. However, he will be expecting…

Super Bowl Breakdown and Pick:

Giants versus the Patriots in Superbowl XLVI.  I truly believe that this is a matchup between the two teams that are playing the ‘best’ football right now.  So how to approach this game?  Well, the ‘hype’ right now is all about the Giants and how great they’re playing.  They’re healthy, they’re hungry, and they’ve just put together an impressive 5-game winning streak beating the likes of ATL, GB, and SF.  I don’t disagree.  I think Giants are playing terrific ‘football’ right now.  The interesting thing though is that the Patriots are playing just as well, if not…

Super Bowl Props: Bodog Favours Tom Brady To Win MVP

Less than a week remains before the New England Patriots set out to exact revenge on the New York
Giants in Super Bowl XLVI. After falling shockingly in the exact same matchup back in 2008, the Tom
Brady-led Pats have extra pressure to perform.

Though New England is being touted as the early -3 favorite on the NFL betting line, a victory in the
season finale is far from guaranteed – all despite their AFC East-leading 13-3 mark. In fact, one of
New England’s three losses came at the hands of these very Giants.

Even in that loss Brady threw for over 340 yards, but a pair of interceptions proved fatal. According
to Bodog this week, the over/under on Brady’s yardage for the Super Bowl is set at 320.5. Does the
34-year-old have enough in the tank to show up big when it matters most yet again?

The Super Bowl prop for Brady’s interceptions is set at 0.5, with the majority of bettors taking the over.

But…

NHL Betting: Updated Futures Odds On Canadian Teams

The All-Star Break is winding down and with a silent Monday for NHL action, what better time to take an updated look at the NHL futures?

The Stanley Cup drought has been long and protracted for Canadian fans and if the playoffs started today, only two of the 16 contestants would be from the Great White North.

While the glass may be half empty in that regard, an optimist might suggest that it’s half full when you consider that as many as three other Canadian teams are within five points of qualifying.

Here’s a look at the updated NHL futures on the seven Canadian teams along with an update on how they’ve fared recently:

(These NHL Futures Odds are available at Bodog)

1. Vancouver Canucks
This Week: 13:2 (win $650 on a $100 bet)
Last Check: 13:2

The Canucks are currently second in the Western Conference with 64 points and although they had a shaky start to the year, they’ve all but clinched a top-three seed in the West already.

Vancouver is 6-2-1 in…

Super Bowl Betting: Sportsbooks Are Better Than Proline

I woke up this morning and saw a BBM from a buddy of mine who was asking for betting advice on the Super Bowl.

“Where’s he going to bet it?” my wife asked. “Proline?”

Nope. Not unless he wants to bet on at least one more game at the same time.

Proline requires you to bet on at least two possible outcomes on the same ticket (a minimum of three games in some provinces). In other words, that’s a parlay. And parlays — which require you to get all your bets correct to cash your ticket — might look like they offer fat payouts, but in reality they drastically reduce your chances of getting paid anything at all.

Online sportsbooks, on the other hand, allow you to bet on one game at a time. That’s perfect for anyone wanting to have a bet on the Super Bowl without relying on the Canadiens to beat the Jets earlier in the afternoon.

In addition to paying better odds and not requiring you to bet on more than…

Vegas Butcher Our Pick For Handicapping Service To Follow

Over the years, we’ve come across plenty of ads for sports handicapping services.

Touts, as they’re commonly known, seem to be in a shouting contest as they try to convince you that they have all the inside information on this game and that their pick is a virtual (here comes the dreaded word) lock.

In reality, a lot of these handicapping services are scams.

But not all of them are. In fact, there are a few out there that can help you make a lot of money in the long run.

The key is to find those services that are transparent about their long-term records. Rather than telling you that they are on a 70% run over their last 10 picks (which sounds great, but you could easily flip a coin 10 times and have it land on heads seven times), the good services will show you that they have won 56% of their picks over the past two years. Try flipping a coin a thousand times and see if that coin still lands on…

NBA Opening Day Odds Posted At Sportsbooks

NBA rosters haven’t even been finalized yet, but that hasn’t stopped sportsbooks from posting odds for season-opening games Christmas day.

The Boston Celtics and New York Knicks are a pick ‘em line (a point spread of zero) in the first game of the day at Madison Square Garden; the Miami Heat are three-point favourites at the defending NBA champion Dallas Mavericks; the Chicago Bulls are three-point dogs at the Los Angeles Lakers; the Orlando Magic are 6.5-point underdogs at the Oklahoma City Thunder; and the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors are at a pick ‘em price for their clash in Oakland. (Lines provided by Pinnacle)

The biggest early line moves have been in the Miami/Dallas and LA Clippers/Golden State matchups. The Heat and Mavs opened at a pick ‘em line, but bettors — perhaps thinking Miami is motivated for revenge after losing last year’s final to Dallas — have bet the Heat up to three-point favourites. Meanwhile, the Clippers opened as two-point underdogs but the recent trade for Chris Paul has…
