Do yourself a favour and sign up with an online book. Proline is a ripoff by the governement. They are using mandatory "parlays", and giving shitty odds and payouts at that. Veteran gamblers usually consider parlays a sucker bet. Why not just bet the three games you like best indivdually and if you win 2/3 you still win! With Proline you place a bet, you lose one game....your screwed. Also, even if you win, you don't get your bet back....just your under-valued winnings? Brutal.

Dude....go online....tons of great sposored sites in the link above, but generally Pinnaclesports.com is the best.

The betting lines mean:

-130 means the team is favoured and you have to bet $130 to win $100 (or $13 to win $10 etc).

+120 means you have a dog, and you have to bet $100 to win $120 (or $10 to win $12).

And...:welcome: to the forum

To Allan york :

Like JML said, do yourself a favor by opening an account with online sportsbook. It is so much better, it is not even a comparisson. With this proline bullshit, you are getting so ripped off. The best thing about online sportsbook is you have so many options and you can bet single bets instead of parlays. You can bet on first halfs of a game, even seconds halfs, heck you can bet literally on almost anything.

The best online sportsbook I have found and you will probably like it is 5dimes, it gives you so many options. Check it out its great.
