Latest CFL odds and betting lines

The CFL has been part of Canada’s sports landscape for over a century. As the legislation of single-game betting is making it easier than ever to discover the excitement of sports betting in Canada, BET.CA is here to help you get the most of wagering on the country’s most popular football league.

Many different sportsbooks offer multiple different markets for every single game of the CFL season.

These include the moneyline, which enables you to bet on which team will emerge as the outright winner in a specific game.

You can also bet on a team’s margin of victory or defeat with the point spread, and how many points there will be in the game with the total or over/under.

If that isn’t enough, you can wager on just about anything not directly linked to the final result with CFL prop bets.

With moneyline betting, you can wager on which team will emerge as the outright winner in a CFL game, regardless of the final score. As with other sports and leagues, American moneyline odds list the favorite with negative odds (denoted by a - symbol before the number) and the underdog with positive odds (denoted by a + symbol before the number).

Here is an example of moneyline odds for a CFL game:

In the example above, the Saskatchewan Roughriders are listed as -180 favorites. This means a successful wager of $180 will have a profit of $100, for a total payout of $280. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are listed as +150 underdogs, meaning a successful $100 bet on them to win will produce winnings of $150, for a total payout of $250.

In addition to placing moneyline bets before kickoff, you can also wager in-play bets on the moneyline. In that instance, the odds will be dynamically updated in real time to reflect both the current scoreline and how long is left in the game.

Totals betting, also commonly known as over/under betting, focuses on whether the total number of points scored by both teams during a CFL game will be over or under the number set by the sportsbook prior to kickoff. Here is an example of total or over/under odds for a CFL game:

In the example above, the total has been set at 56.5. This means if the total number of points scored in the game is 57 or higher, bets on the over will cash in. Conversely, if the total finishes at 56 or fewer, the under will win. In this example, both the over and under have been priced at -110, meaning a successful $100 wager would produce $90.90 profit, for a total payout of $190.90.

One thing to bear in mind when betting on total or over/under markets for CFL games is that due to the nature of Canadian football, the totals are often set notably higher than in equivalent markets for the NFL.

CFL futures offer markets related to the performance of a player or team over the course of the entire season. If you’re convinced that the defending Grey Cup champions will lift the trophy once again, or a hot quarterback prospect will be awarded Most Outstanding Player, then you can bet on the variety of CFL futures many sportsbooks provide.

Popular CFL futures include the Grey Cup champion, East and West Divisions winners, and whether or not a certain team will make the playoffs. You can also bet on awards including Most Outstanding Player, Most Outstanding Canadian, and Most Outstanding Rookie. Some sportsbooks offer more specific futures, such as which quarterback will compete the most passes, or how many games a team will win that season.

CFL futures are unique to bet on as they are available both before and during the campaign, and their odds adjust throughout depending on how teams and players are getting on. This makes the timing of your bet important, as there are opportunities to take advantage of value in the odds. You can learn more about CFL futures with BET.CA.
