OLG Point Spreads

Moved to Canada from the states, and started seeing that the Ontario Gaming League Spreads which are considerably different from others.

I'd be curious to compare whether OLG's spreads is lesser than a return with a Vegas house. By notoriety alone, I typically use the Vegas odds as my guide to help me choose. Let's face it, they didn't build an empire for nothing.

For instance today's early Point Spread, I'll put Vegas odds in the brackets.

Ind -3 @ Ten [Vegas has Ten -1]
Nyj @ Buf -1.5 [Bills -2.5]
Atl -1.5 @ TB [Pick]
Det -1.5 @ Pit [Det -2.5]
Was @ Phi -3.5 [Was -3]
Arz -7 @ Jak [same]
Oak @ Hou -7 [same]
Cle @ Cin -5.5 [Cin -7]
SD -2.5 @ Mia [Mia -1]
Gb @ Nyg -6 [same]
Min @ Sea -13.5 [Sea -11.5]
SF @ Nwo -3.5 [Nwo -2.5]
KC @ Den -8.5 [Den -7.5]
NE @ Car -2 [Car -1]

The Vegas odds you have in brackets look very suspect to me.

What book has Ten -1? I say no chance that's correct.

OLG is a rip off. Don't waste your time and energy with them

100% on the money. the odds and betting structure are set so that this is a lottery, not sports betting.

Love your handle. My guy said it was Vegas Hilton but that doesn't seem to be accurate.

Coming from the states, it's huge to me that my winnings are not taxable. That's considerably a benefit for me to drop off some papers at the convenience store on the way in. The biggest annoyance is that sometimes my picks are locked out before I get to play them. "Liability Limit Exceeded".

That being said, I've had good success parlaying 3 tie games a week and the odds are relatively good. For this week:

15 8:15PM FTB IND TEN 2.50 1.90 3.10 2.70 3.30 1.75 42.5 1.65

That's 2.7 to tie
