How it is calculated
  • Payout = stake × the prices of all picks multiplied: $10.00 × 2.10 × 1.85 × 2.40 = $93.24.
  • A void pick drops out: it counts as 1.00.
  • Chance from the prices = 1 ÷ total odds. Fair chance of a pick = (1 ÷ its price) ÷ the sum of 1 ÷ price over all outcomes of its event.
  • Ticket margin = 1 − total odds × fair chance of the ticket.

How to fill a selection

  1. Pick the questionsChoose up to 8 questions from the current offer (offre de paris). Each question has its own deadline (heure limite).
  2. Enter the prediction numberEach outcome (issue) has a 5-digit prediction number (numéro de prédiction) linked to its odds (cote).
  3. Combine or play onePredictions are combined in one selection. A single bet (pari simple) is allowed only on questions marked for it.
  4. Choose the stakeOn the selection slip, the stake (mise) is one of $2, $3, $4, $5, $10, $15, $20, $25, $50, $100.
  5. Check the potential gainThe calculator above multiplies the odds of your picks by the stake and applies the tie rule.

How the gain is calculated

Gain = odds of correct prediction 1 × odds 2 × … × stake

Example: For example, three correct picks: 2.50 × 1.50 × 1.91 = 7.16. Stake $10.00: $10.00 × 7.16 = $71.59. Same maths as the parlay calculator.

Questions

How is a Mise-o-jeu gain calculated?

Multiply the odds of all correct predictions, then multiply by the stake. For example, 2.50 × 1.50 × 1.91 = 7.16, so a $10.00 stake gives $71.59. Loto-Québec may cap the total at $2,000,000 per winning selection.

Can I bet on just one game with Mise-o-jeu?

Only on questions marked as single bets (pari simple). Other questions must be combined with another prediction before the selection can be recorded.

Does overtime count in Mise-o-jeu hockey bets?

For team-performance questions, yes – overtime and shootout count unless the offer says otherwise. The 3-way game winner is different: its result is set before overtime and shootout.

Who can play Mise-o-jeu online?

Online, Loto-Québec requires players to be 18+, Quebec residents and physically in Quebec. More on sports betting in Quebec. This page is not legal advice.

Is Mise-o-jeu the same as PROLINE?

No. Mise-o-jeu is a Loto-Québec product with its own rules. PROLINE is a different provincial lottery sports game – see how PROLINE works.
