CFL Future Odds

Currently there are no futures available.

CFL futures markets give fans the chance to bet on Canadian Football League outrights, such as division winners and Grey Cup champions.

Unlike CFL odds on specific matches, CFL futures markets are typically available well in advance of the competition conclusion and remaining open until the final outcome is known.

Many fans enjoy betting on futures as it offers a chance to get big odds on long-term events, so fans can show off their knowledge of the teams and their situation, such as roster strength, the ability of the coach and player fitness.

Types of CFL futures

The type of CFL future bets vary, depending on the sportsbook but typically, fans can bet on the following markets...

Grey Cup winner

Which team will prevail over the course of the season and win the Grey Cup?

Division Winner

The CFL’s teams are divided into two divisions - East and West. Some sportsbooks give fans the chance to predict the winners of each division as part of their CFL futures offering.

CFL Player futures

Some sportsbooks even offer outrights on players, including who will be named most valuable player for the season, who will throw the most yards and who will rush the most yards.

Picking the winners

CFL futures betting favours those who really know the teams, the players and the general landscape of the game. The biggest odds are available before a ball is kicked, but that also carries greater risk. Some savvy bettors prefer to wait a few weeks into the season, to evaluate how each roster is taking shape in the early stages of the season and try to use this information to inform their bets.

Some things to consider when betting on CFL futures:
How did the team perform last season?
Does the team have a proven track record of success?
Who is the coach?
How strong is the roster and has it been improved during the draft?
Are any key players injured or prone to injury?
How strong is the team traditionally at home and on the road?
Importantly, what are the odds? Has the sportsbook priced your selection well or is there good value to be had?

Previous Grey Cup winners

One important factor to consider is the team’s history - do they have a track record of success? First held in 1909 the Grey Cup is the ultimate CFL prize.
