The 2024 Summer Games are giving Proline bettors plenty of opportunities to follow the progress of Canadian athletes.
According to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp., 96 per cent of Proline players successfully backed Canadian swimmer Summer McIntosh’s gold medal victory in the women’s 200-metre medley last week. It was her third gold medal of the Games.
Ninety-four per cent of bettors had Ethan Katzberg winning the men’s hammer throw while 93 per cent backed Camryn Rogers’ victory in the women’s hammer throw.
But there was a surprising result in men’s basketball. After going 3-0 during the preliminary round, Canada dropped a stunning 82-73 quarter-final loss to France on Tuesday.
Just five per cent of bettors backed France but 52 cent had the French +8.5.
It was a tough weekend for the Toronto Blue Jays. After winning the series opener 8-5 on Friday over the New York Yankees, the Jays were on the losing end of 8-3 and 4-3 decisions Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
A solid 71 per cent of bettors backed the New York moneyline Sunday with only seven per cent supporting Toronto at +1.5. On Saturday, 69 per cent of players supported the Yankees’ moneyline with 67 per cent having the winners at -1.5.
In CFL action Sunday, Calgary rallied to down Toronto 27-23 at McMahon Stadium. The Stampeders outscored the Argonauts 21-0 in the fourth quarter to secure the home victory.
But only 36 per cent of bettors backed Calgary’s moneyline.
A Proline digital player won $1,652 from a $1 bet on a 12-pick major-league baseball parlay, A retail bettor turned a $2 wager into $1,108 with a successful 11-pick baseball parlay using all over-under markets.
Another digital player won $1,328 on a $4 bet on a 12-pick baseball parlay while a retail bettor claimed $1,657 from a $12 wager on a four-pick soccer parlay.
