For PRO•LINE, tie rules vary by sport, please click here for more information.
For PRO•LINE POOLS, in the event of a tie, the result will be a “PUSH”, meaning that both the home and visiting team will be declared the winner.
Prop is short for proposition wagering. Each prop is a question posed by ALC, for example: Which quarterback will have the most passing yards: Brady vs. Manning? Or which team will have the most sacks: New England vs. Pittsburgh?
Each prop is considered an event, so you can bet on two to six props per ticket, or you can combine props with a few games on the same PRO•LINE ticket.

For PRO•LINE and PRO•LINE TOTALS, the odds for the cancelled game revert to 1. For example, if you bet $5 on three games with odds of 2.00, 1.70 and 3.50, and the game with the 1.70 odd was subsequently cancelled, your prize would be:
2.00 x 1.00 x 3.50 x $5 = $35
Of course, both of the remaining selections must match the final PRO•LINE game results. Game results are posted on this website and available at retail.
For PRO•LINE SPREADS, a ticket's applicable prize level decreases by the number of cancelled games it contains. As an example, if you picked 12 games, prize level #13 would initially apply to your ticket; however, if two of those games get cancelled, prize level #11 would instead apply to your ticket.
For PRO•LINE POOLS, when a game is delayed, postponed, suspended, canceled or called, resulting in that game being considered incomplete, it would be considered a "PUSH". This means that both the home and visiting teams would be declared winners.
For PRO•LINE and PRO•LINE TOTALS, golf outcomes do not include extra play. Hockey and Soccer outcomes include overtime but do not include shootouts. All other outcomes are based on final results and include overtime and extra play.
For PRO•LINE POOLS, results include overtime and shootouts. In the event a game ends in a tie, that event is considered a "Push".
All winning tickets must be claimed within two (2) years from the date of purchase.
The total prize pool for PRO•LINE POOLS will continue to be 60% of total monies wagered on a particular card. 70% of the designated prize money will be applied to the first place tier and 30% will be applied to the second place tier.
At times, wagering on individual outcomes of games/props or combinations of outcomes may be limited, or "capped", across ALC's system. This occurs to limit liability on any one event or combination of events so ALC can continue to offer sports games to recreational sports bettors.
When an outcome, or combination of outcomes, is capped, ALC will review the total liability risk and may increase the amount of wagering allowed. Therefore, if you encounter a cap when trying to wager, you may be able to get your bet in an hour or so later should ALC increase the cap limit.
A $250 per player, or group, daily purchase limit is in effect for each retail location on each of the following: PRO•LINE, PRO•LINE TOTALS and PRO•LINE SPREADS.
A neutral site game is one in which the visiting and the home team/player play at a site (stadium, field, etc.) which is not the usual home site for either team/player offered. ALC uses the industry standard for the definition of a home team in a neutral site which is that ALC uses the same defined matchup as other sports betting websites. These assignments of teams/players is consistent for the industry but may not reflect what is shown on some public sports sites that do not offer wagering. In the case of a neutral site game, ALC takes the position that because there is not a home field advantage to one team or the other, the assignment of a home team in a neutral site game is arbitrary.
