Select the sport & match you want to bet on

Once you’ve taken care of your account creation and deposit, the next thing you’ll need to do is select the sport you want to bet on. This is a largely subjective choice, but we do not recommend betting on sports that you have no knowledge or interest in.

To find the sport you want to bet on, simply take a look at the sports listed on the left-hand side panel of the site if you’re on a desktop computer. If you’re betting on mobile, click on the menu icon in the top right-hand corner of the site, and click on “A-Z SPORTS”.

From there you can take a look at all the sports on offer, pick the one you want to bet on, and select the upcoming match that interests you.

Select your betting line/s & choose your odds

Once you’ve picked your sport and match, the next step is to choose the line you want to bet on. For us, picking lines is largely dependent on your overall betting level. Usually, if you’re a newbie, we encourage betting on the money line, and as you learn, you can mix it up.

Regardless, clicking on the column that holds the odds opens a new tab that holds each of the lines Proline provides for the match-up. Identify the line you’re looking to bet on, and choose the accompanying odds.

Set your stake

Once you’ve selected your odds, your bet will show up on your bet slip. Your bet slip is a bit like your digital betting receipt, which gets loaded up with all the bets you want to place. It shows your bet and the odds provided for your pick.

To set your stake, simply type in the amount of money you want to bet on the event.

Set your Proline Stake

Confirm your bet

The last step in the process involves confirming your bet, which is simply done by clicking a big green “CONFIRM BET” button that appears below the bet slip once you have selected your bet and confirmed your stake.

Top tips for playing Proline Hockey

Do some research

Open up Google and get a read on the in-form teams, injured players, and so on. Each of these factors can have an effect on a game, and being in the know can help your hockey betting strategy.

Read some betting tips

Betting tips can be a good source of information, and inspiration if you’re not sure about who to pick. Remember to always take betting tips with a pinch of salt, because usually, the people behind the tips are only human - they can’t see into the future.

Folow Proline on socials

A top tip is to follow Proline on Instagram, Facebook, or whichever your preferred social media platform is. Here you can see some tips that they may provide, along with any special odds on offer, and more.

Check stats on live events

If you’re betting live, we highly recommend checking the in-game stats, as they can tell much about which team is in poll position to score next. This can positively influence your live betting strategy and can help shed light on what’s going on in the game.

Study and assess the different markets available

The different markets (betting lines) on offer can be a nice source of inspiration if you’re looking to mix up your betting strategy a little bit. Placing a spicy over/under bet, or puck line bet can make the match-up you’re following a little more fun.

How to Play Proline NFL

To play Proline NFL, you’ll need to be logged into your Proline betting account, and your account will need to be credited with money. From there, select Football from the list of available sports, which when clicked will lead to a drop down appearing. On the dropdown select USA, and another dropdown will appear where you can select the NFL. Once you’ve clicked on “NFL”, identify and click on the game you want to bet on, choose your line and odds, enter your stake, and confirm your bet.

Tips for playing Proline NFL

If you’re a newbie, stick to money lines

A tip we live by here at mybettingsites, is to start with money lines, and move on once you know a little more about betting. Betting on different markets can be a bit of highlight, but not when you’re not sure about what bets you’re placing. Money line bets are easy to understand, so they’re the perfect starting point.

Spreads can be fun if you’re experienced

Spread bets are perfect for the NFL, especially when there’s a miss-match in ability between two teams competing. They can also make specific games really fun to watch. Once you’ve cut your teeth on money lines, and some other lines, spreads are great fun when betting on this league!

Keep an eye out for prop bets

While Proline doesn’t always release prop bets, when they do, they can be a lot of fun. Keep an eye out for for them!

Follow proline on socials

Just like with hockey, following Proline on socials, and checking their page around big events can be a nice thing to do, as you’re able to be kept up to date about in special odds, tips, or information.

Study up & read some betting tips

Just like with hockey, reading betting tips, and information about the league can greatly assist in betting on the NFL. Make sure you’re in the know when it comes to in-form teams, injured and in-form players, weather, and whatever else is able to influence a game.

How to Play Proline Soccer

To play Proline soccer, ensure you’re logged into your proline account, and make sure to have money loaded in your account. Then, select soccer from the sports listed (in the column on the left on desktop, and under A-Z sports in the menu on mobile/app), select your country and league, identify and click on the game you want to bet on, and choose your lines and odds, enter your stake bet slip, and confirm your bet.

Tips for playing Proline Soccer

Study up & check betting tips

As has been mentioned, and as you may gather from us here at mybettingsites, we’re advocates of homework. Studying who’s in form, who’s injured or ill, where the game’s being played, and so on, can help you draw conclusions that can help you on your way to making a winning bet.

Check the lines on offer

The nice thing about betting on soccer is that usually, there are so many lines available to choose from. While Proline doesn’t list as many as some others out there, you can still bet on goals, halves, over/unders, and many more, which can take your investment in a game to another level.

Look for value in lower leagues

The interesting about betting on soccer is that there is a ton of value up for grabs in the lesser-known leagues. We’re talking about the Bolivian, Finnish, and Egyptian leagues. While the information on these leagues may be harder to come by, Proline’s oddsmakers usually report a higher margin of error when they release the odds for these lesser-known events, so be sure to check them out, and potentially make a big win.

How to bet on different lines with Proline

Proline has plenty offer above and beyond the sports that have been listed above. There are far more sports to bet on, but aside from that, there are unique markets and features that sports bettors can make use of.

Among these are Proline points spreads. Points spreads are a fairly standard feature among betting sites, but they are not always the easiest line to understand.

Proline also offers pools, which are again a less straightforward betting type. Below, we explain how to bet with spreads and pools, so that you can get underway with these bet types straight after you’ve created your Proline account.

How to play Proline Points Spread

To play Proline points spreads, select a sport that you know offers spread bets (football or basketball for example), and then click on the country and league you want to bet on. From here, you’re able to view the different point spread lines that are given for the games that have been highlighted (you can also click on the event to see more options). To bet on the spread, click on the odds that you want to bet on, enter your stake, and confirm your bet.

How to Play Proline Points Spread in 5 Easy Steps

  1. Pick a sport where spread bets are offered
  2. Click on the country and league of the event you want to bet on
  3. View & analyze the odds for the spreads on offer
  4. Click on the odds that you want to bet on
  5. Enter your stake & confirm your bet

When betting on the spread (points spread betting), you are betting on the margin of victory of a particular sports event. The number that is provided represents the oddsmakers’ projected difference between the two teams.

If you check a spread bet, one team will have a - sign next to the number they’ve been assigned (the favourite), while the other will have a + sign to the number they’ve been assigned (the underdog). The number represents the margin of winning or the handicap that is provided by the oddsmakers.

The team that’s been assigned -3.5 for example, needs to win by 4 or more points to cover the spread. If you bet on this team assigned -3.5, and the team you bet on wins by more than 4 or more, they will have covered the spread, and you’d win your bet.

If you bet on the underdog, (with the + attached to the number they’ve been assigned), who is given odds for a +3.5 spread, they would need to lose the game by three, or win the game outright to cover the spread.

While that may be a lot to wrap your head around, you can keep coming back to it to refresh your memory of spreads when looking to make this kind of bet moving forward. This betting method is ideal for betting on the NFL but can be useful when betting on the NBA and NCAA basketball too.

How to Play Proline Pools

To play Proline Pools, log into your proline account, ensure that you have money deposited into your betting account, navigate to the Pools tab, located in the header of the website, choose your Pools card (broken up into different sports), and select the teams you think will win each event. Instead of stakes, one play is $5, and instead of odds, your winnings are determined by the number of players who also correctly picked the winners of the events. The pools bet slip is then generated with a code that you can then take an OLG retailer to scan if your picks come off.
