Canadian sports parlays

Bloker said:

Hi all, will be in Toronto later this week and was curious about the Canadian sports parlay cards.

Are these something you have to visit a casino to play? I thought I heard that you could go into any convenience store and play these but perhaps I am incorrect on this. Would they maybe have them out at Woodbine racetrack?

I'm sure the odds are hideous but that probably won't stop me from trying a parlay or two should I come across them lol.

Any insight/advice on this would be appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to TO.

Yes any convenience store you can play these awful parlay odds. I personally never play Proline.

Woodbine is near the airport but a half hour drive from downtown. They call it a casino but mainly slots, roulette, video blackjack, and you can play holdem but no dealer. It's video. Pretty wild games too.

Hope this helps.

Are you racing a horse at Woodbine, or just staying a nearby hotel?

Thanks! I've been checking out the public transportation options from downtown to woodbine and they seem pretty decent. Uber sounds like a solid backup.

The plan is Blue Jays baseball Thursday and/or Friday night and Woobine Saturday afternoon for the thoroughbreds. Any good suggestions on sports bars around the Rogers Centre?

Haven't been to the Rogers Centre since '92. Not even sure if was called the Rogers Centre back then

Also if you are going to play proline, make sure your payout doesn't exceed 299 dollars or you may have to go downtown to the OLG office to pick up the check! I haven't played proline in over 20 years, back when they actually had good odds. And back then you'd have to go to the OLG office to pick up any winnings over 299 dollars. So play multiple tickets to ensure the payout is less than 300, and you will be able to collect your winnings at Woodbine or any store that sells/offers proline.

That's good to know. I'm guessing a $50 or $100 mandatory 3 team parlay might go over $300...unless the odds are really, really bad lol. Surprised it's such a low amount.

So yesterday I asked my non-gambling Canadian friend who hails from the Calgary area if he thought I'd be able to get away with using American currency at Woodbine...he asked me if I thought he could use Canadian currency at Arlington Park. Lol. Woodbine is about the only place I'm thinking I might have to use cash...maybe the sports parlays too?

I looked up the Real Sports Bar and Grill and it looks pretty darn good. Definitely a stop.

Thanks for all of the useful info, folks. I will let you know how the trip went.
