Personally, I like being able to play one game at a time. BCLC (and I assume OLG) only allows parlays of 2 or more games which carries alot more risk and I find the payouts are lower. For example, 2 pointspread games on BCLC as a parlay pays out 2-1, you double your money. At a sportsbook, one pointspread game usually pays out close to 90% - 95% ($1.00 bet earns $0.90 to $0.95) so you almost double your money on one game. That's the difference for me.

Chick at the Fallsview casino book in Niagara Falls was bragging how they have the highest payout for 2 game parlays of any book at 3-1 , so I bet one. Handed her 20 and the payout said 60, 3-1 right? So I said to blondie at 3-1 I get my $20 back on a win plus my 60 for a true 3x bet, she says no sir that would be 4-1 ...........bahahahahah, morons. 6 dollars for a vodka soda 8 dollars for a draft. Save your money if your are ever in town and just hit the sundowner gentlemen's club on Lundy's Lane then jump across the ditch to seneca casino in Niagara falls NY and get some free boos and good comps. Just don't tell Chris you are going we need him to stay at home until he gets caught up on his College basketball contest grading.

pinnacle is 100X better than most sportsbooks and 1000X better than bodog. pinnacle has best lines on any sports site, and also has hassle free payouts. I wish they were in usa, but most books are thankful they are not because they would lose 50% of their business


but if u must use another book besides pinnacle.. I would look at betjamaica . they have a great sign up bonus for first timers with $100 for the first $100 sent in call scotty he will hook u up
