The Winning Strategy

The Winning Strategy is a book specifically about sports wagering with Proline. It was produced by a sports handicapping company from Windsor, Ontario. This is the best (and only) book I have ever read about sports betting with Proline. The first time I found it I was shocked that someone had actually written a book about Proline. After reading, I realized it holds valuable information for anyone interested in playing sports lotteries.

The book has several sections, all of which have incredible value. However, the best part of the book is the charts that evaluate the Proline odds. Through mathematical calculations, the authors show how a proper Proline value can be determined from the point spread of any given game. The true value in these charts is that, when applied, it becomes apparent that often Proline is either underpaying or overpaying a specific game. Through their calculations the authors assign a value for betting each specific team.

The book also addresses point spread, over/under, ties, and other areas of Proline. As well, It provides great insight into the way betting lines are created and changed. The differences between sports book wagering and Proline wagering is explained in a clear and effective manner.

This book is perfect for anyone interested in sports gambling, and extremely valuable for anyone who plays Proline or any other sports lottery.


The Winning Strategy: For Provincial Sports Lotteries

4 of 5 Proline Rotation

This chart breaks down the 4 of 5 Proline Rotation. The 4 of 5 rotation is more difficult than the 3 of 4 Proline rotation. You need to pick 4 winners out of a total of 5 games.

For this Proline strategy, you need to make 5 tickets that include 4 of your picks. 

The Proline rotation is easy to make using Microsoft Excel. You can calculate the total odds for each Proline ticket. To even the tickets, as I have done in the chart, write the number you want to win in the Payout section and divide it by the Odds section. The numbers in the Wager sections should differ for each ticket, and represent the amount you need to bet to achieve the same payout.

Proline 3 of 4 Rotations

Proline Rotation tickets are popular and effective methods of wagering. They are available in some provinces, but must be manually played on Proline in Ontario. They are a good strategy for those who believe they can pick 3 out of 4 winners.

The Proline rotation pays well if you can predict 4 out of 4, and it still pays if you can choose 3 out of 4 games.

The basic strategy is to play 4 tickets that spread out 4 different teams across those tickets. This way it is not necessary to win all tickets.

Here is the breakdown of the Proline tickets.






These fictional odds are a little high, but the results show how a 4 out of 4 payout is very profitable, and a 3 out of 4 also provides some winnings.

Ticket 5
An optional 5th ticket is possible with all of your teams. This increases your Proline payout substantially.  This is a good strategy because you have the chance to win big.
