Correlations

WHY SOME PREDICTION COMBINATIONS AREN'T ALLOWED

Sometimes, a selection cannot be registered because the sales limit for that selection or for a given prediction has been reached.

Other prediction combinations may also not be allowed if there is a correlation between them, that is to say, if predictions from a given selection are related, have an impact on one another or are contradictory.

For example, for a Montreal vs Boston match, you cannot combine the questions "Match winner with spread" and "Match winner," because if the prediction "Montreal will win by at least 1.5 goals" came to be, the prediction "Montreal wins" would necessarily occur as well. Conversely, if the prediction "Montreal will win by at least 1.5 goals" came to be, it would be impossible for the prediction "Boston wins" to occur as well.

WHY SOME PREDICTION COMBINATIONS AREN'T ALLOWED DUE TO CORRELATIONS

To clarify this issue, here are certain prediction combinations that, for a given event, may not be included in a particular selection. This list is not complete, and Loto-Québec may refuse to accept wagers and issue tickets at any time if a prediction combination presents correlations.
