How to read CFL Las Vegas Odds

The point-spread was developed to provide a balance for both teams involved in a contest to entice bettors to potentially back the weaker team and receive points. The two squads in a game are listed with a title, either a favorite or an underdog. The favorite is usually the perceived better team in the game, as backing them means giving up several points.

The Canadian Football League (CFL) is a professional sports league and the highest level competition in Canadian football. In the league contests 9 teams, each from one of the cities in Canada. The CFL consists of two divisions where five teams are in the West Division and four in the East Division.

But up in Canada, there are CFL Odds to check out starting each June – a full summer’s worth of football lines to study and exploit. The CFL is a nine-team league with former NCAA stars and some former NFLers.

On the VegasInsider.com odds page, there is another number associated with the favorite and its listed as -10. This number is simply defined as vig or what many in the sports betting industry call vigorish. Another common term is called juice and its technically the price the bettor has to pay on a straight wager.

Ex. Bet $110 to win $100 (10% juice)
Ex. Bet $100 to win $91.91 (10% juice)

It's not uncommon to see other values posted other than -10. Examples seen on the CFL Vegas Odds pages could include -08, -12, -15 and -20. The -10 price is the most common value in the industry while many books offer reduced 'juice odds' and that would fall into the -08 category.

VI Consensus CFL Line

There is a favorite and an underdog listed in each game.

History Of The Canadian Football League

Edmonton -8.5
Montreal +8.5

In this example, Edmonton is listed as an 8.5-point favorite and Montreal is an 8.5-point underdog. Edmonton covers the spread if it wins by nine points or more. Montreal has two different ways to cover the spread as an underdog. First, if Montreal loses by eight points or fewer, it covers. The second way is if Monreal wins outright by any score, so backing an underdog has its advantages, too.

Special Rules

What makes the CFL unique as opposed to the NFL is several rule modifications. The CFL plays 12-on-12, while the NFL has 11 players on each side of the ball on every play. Also, the CFL only allows three downs to get a first down, creating more opportunities to score faster. The CFL has a 110-yard field, compared to a 100-yard field in the NFL, while the CFL also increases scoring with singles or 'rouges,' with the kicking team receiving one point when a missed field goal is not returned out of the end zone or kicked through the end zone.

How do I bet on the Grey Cup?

We know that you can bet on the Grey Cup at any time of the year, but whats the process? The future wager or the Odds to Win bet on the Grey Cup is correctly selecting a team to win an event that takes place at a later time. A bettor will have his wagered money tied up until there is an outcome and bettors will receive fixed odds when they place the wager.

Ex. Saskatchewan (5/1) to win the Grey Cup
