CFL Betting and Canadian Football Odds
Why would you want to bet on Canadian football? The main reason is that you can win a lot of money in CFL betting. Betting Canadian football can be a moneymaker for you because the CFL is not that popular. It is that lack of popularity that gives you an edge over the sportsbooks around the world. Very few people pay attention betting Canadian football and that is to your benefit when you bet the games.
For those people that follow the under the radar sports, there are many bargains to be found. If you follow the league and have all the accurate information available, Canadian football betting can be profitable.
As you look at betting Canadian football the same basic handicapping principles apply that are used for other football betting endeavors. Basic handicapping analysis for betting Canadian football will include points for, points against, yards per point, offensive and defensive league rankings, match-ups, form, trends, injuries, etc. The current form of the two teams is the most important factor when betting Canadian football.
Canadian football betting oddsmakers concentrate the most effort on the events that will provide the most action and, therefore, spend less time on sports like the CFL. The CFL playing field also is a factor and gives the sports gambler the ability to focus more attention to particular teams strengths and weaknesses.
Injuries also provide bettors with an edge when betting Canadian football since coverage in the United State is rare. News is extremely important when betting Canadian football, especially when an injury occurs. Canadian content rules can affect a team that may have to seriously change their line-up to accommodate the league Canadian player rules. Usually American players are in the higher skill positions. Usually when a team suffers an injury to a Canadian at one of the key positions and has to replace that player with a foreigner, the team then has to make up that roster spot elsewhere.
You always want to remember that current form is a very important handicapping factor for CFL betting. Those people that do bet the CFL without much knowledge of the teams and little knowledge of handicapping will more than likely bet on the favorite. You can gain value on the underdog when the situation comes up. The CFL betting season usually starts in July and presents the good football betting handicapper with definite advantages.
