Sport Select review for 2024

🍌A question that is often asked is ‘how does Sport Select work?’ The sports betting site is best categorized as a platform. It only sh🎶ows you odds so you can compare them for the best option. You can’t play Sport Select online, so once you have decided your bet, you will need to head to a retailer near you to purchase your ticket.

Be aware that Sport Select is known for its extremely poor odds before you purchase your tickets. You can buy lottery tickets atꦿ local retailers across Manitoba, Alberta, Nunavit, etc. And if your t❀icket wins, you can claim your prize from any WCLC retailer.

Sport Selec🍌t allows you to bet 🌜on several different sports. Some of these include:

• NFL
• NBA
• Golf
• Soccer
• Major League soccer
• Hockey
• Baseball

Types of Bets on Sport Select

So, if you can’t play online, how do you bet on Sport Select? Sport Select offers you numerous types o✱f betting options, including Pro-Line, Over/Under, Point Spread, Pools and Props.

These are similar to the games offered by the OLG (read our review of the OLG Pro-Line sports betting site), ဣ but there are some differences in the Sport Select versions.

Game Lists

The WCLC Sport Select Game Lists is a page on Sport Select that helps you compare and choose your ideal bet before heading to a retail outlet close to you to purchaಌse your ticket.

It lists out the🌼 games running for the next three days. It 🔯also includes the time, name of visitor team, home team and the various odds. You can hover between five bet types, which include Pro-Line, Over/Under, Point Spread, Pools and Props.

Onc🌃e you 🍌have chosen one of the options, you have two choices:

• First, you click on the ‘Print List’ button. This prints out the list of upcoming games along with their odds. You can then use this as a reference for when you go to purchase your ticket.
• Your second option is to tick your preferred games on the list and add your wager. Wagers range from 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 75 Canadian Dollars to as high as C$100. If you’re satisfied with your selection, you can then print a summary that will show your selected games and expected payout. This is what you will use as a reference when you go to purchase your ticket.

Sport Select uses decimal odds, which indicate the amount you win for every C$1 you wager. So, let us presume that you make a wager of C$100 on a team with 2.0 odds and win – you will simply multiply 100 by 2 = 200𒅌 – your initial stake of C$100. This will leave you with a profit of C$100 – pretty easy, right?

The major prob🥂lem with Sport Select is that its odds are very low. And worse still, the p🌳oints required to  win in specific sports are strange.

In basketball, a home win bet means the home team must win by six points or more. And five points orꦇ below is a Tie. On the📖 other hand, a visitor win means the visiting team needs to win by six points or more. These are not easy bets to win if you properly weigh them.

To help you better understand Sport Select oddsℱ, let’s use a baseball game playing on 18 June as an example. The professional baseball match between Philadelphia and San Francisco has home win odds of 1.60 and visiting team win odds of 1.80. This means if you bet C$100 on San Francisco, which is the home team and win, you earn  C$100 X 1.60. This is C$160, which leaves you with a profit of C$60.

However, this same game on Sports Interaction, another popular sportsbook in Canada, comes with a home win odds of 1.93. And the visiting team odds for the same game is 1.90. This means if you mak🐻e the same bet of C&dol🤪lar;100 on Sports Interaction and win, you get C$193. From this, you get a profit of C$93.

The difference between the same bets for the same amount is a whopping C$30. And even though it may seem little, imagi🦩ne how much you lose when you make numerous wagers with these same differences in odds? This is quite poor, considering you are going through the same stress and spending the same amount on both sports betting platforms.

Sport Select Canada doesn’t offer players any bonuses or promotions. Unlike the  enticing welcome bonuses you find on the majority of today’s online casinos, you won't find any here. In addition, Sport 🃏Select doesn’t have a VIP program for players.

The platform do♉es offer a ‘Combo Play’ bet, which is the only thing close to a promotion as far as we can see. This is a bet on numerous combinations of one game. Unlike the other bets, you still stand a chance of winninꦏg,  even if not all your predictions are accurate. You can see it as a reward for at least trying.

Many online betting platforms have started to see the significance of a mobile platform. While Sport Select has a mobile site, which can be accessed on most devices including iPhone, Android𝓡 and tablets, it is extremely limited as it hasn’t been fully op🐭timised.

The mobile view limits you to only checking your odds and calculating your potential w🍰ins. You do have you the option of switching 𝐆to the full-site view when using your smartphone. With this, you can do everything as you would on your desktop, especially with devices with larger screens of more than six inches.

If you prefer, you can also switch to a landscape view on your device, which 𒉰further improves the overall experience. However, we can’t say the same about smaller phone screens. Overall, like the desktop version, the mobile site is very outdated and in desperate need of modernising.

You can’t place bets on the Sport Select site. This means your banking options are limited to the retail outlet you visit to purchase your t💎icket. All of these outlets will most likely support payment via cash. However, others may accept Visa, MasterCard, Interac and American Express.

Sport Select is limited to its website, which looks extremely outdated at this ♉ point. Its only good feature is that it comes with a reliable odds calculator. The major downside is that it does not allow you to wager online.

The site does offer a download option, allowing you to download pdf documents containing 🙈informaꦡtion about various game conditions and prize structures. You will need to have Adobe Reader installed on your system to view them.

You can contact the Sport Select customer care team via phone. The team is available Monday to Friday during regular business hours. Alternatively, there’s also a Feedback page where you 🍷 can submit inquiries, which will again be answered during regular business hours.
