Hockey
Canada is known as the first nation of hockey. Indeed, the National Hockey League (NHL) is the premier ice hockey league with players from all over North America and Europe. However, there is also the KHL, Swedish Hockey League and German Hockey League (DEL). Predicting the outcome takes skill and luck. A high-scoring team can be shut down by a red-hot goaltender, and a fight, a bad referee call, or injury can change the direction of the game. Sports betting Canada bettors can make outright bets such as the Stanley Cup winner if bold enough to think long-term. Alternatively, ice hockey betting markets like 1x2, winner, draw no bet, double chance, correct score, and 2-way handicap on a match can hold particular appeal.
Basketball
Basketball may have been invented in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1891, but the inventor was actually a Canadian. Whether this is the reason for basketball's popularity or the 2019 NBA Champion Toronto Raptors is anyone's guess. Many leagues, including the Europa League and Spain's Liga ACB, flourish outside North America. Although a team sport, the ability of a superstar to carry a team should never be underestimated. Remember Kobe Bryant and the Orlando Magic back in the 2009 NBA finals? Then there was the Chicago Bull's Michael Jordan, who scored 41 points against the Phoenix Suns. Test your knowledge on several online betting markets like the handicap, outright bet, over/under or money line.
European Football
European football (soccer) may not be as popular to people born in Canada. However, an estimated fan base of 3.5 billion people can't all be wrong. The UEFA Champions League is the European football equivalent to ice hockey's NHL. The English Premier League (EPL) is another top league for European football, aside from the CAF Champions League, Europa League, and others. Sometimes, the past can be a possible predictor of the future. Take Barcelona and Real Madrid that have combined for 6 of the latest 10 UEFA Champions League wins between 2010-11 and 2019-20. Once again, Canadians can find terrific sports betting odds on goal scorer, the correct score, 1x2, corners & cards, 3-way handicap, outrights, over/under and winner.
American Football
While American Football is quintessentially American, Canadians have been playing the game for just as long. In fact, did you know that the game of American Football derives from the game of Rugby Football, and was first introduced to Canada in the 1870’s? Canada has its own national grid iron football league, the CFL, which has produced more than its share of hall of famers. We’re thinking of guys like Warren Moon, the original all-time professional football leader in passing yards. Moon’s record was eventually surpassed by Damon Allen in 2006, and Anthony Calvillo in 2011. All three were full-time CFL players for their entire careers. Of course, Canadians love to bet on the NFL as well, and there’s plenty of action to bet on with top teams like the Buccaneers, Panthers, Cowboys and Steelers. Grab top odds on outright bets of the Super Bowl winner for the upcoming season, or outrights, handicaps or totals on any of our upcoming games for this season.
MLB BASEBALL
MLB Baseball is the oldest of all the professional sports leagues found in North America (United States and Canada). Major League Baseball is divided into two main leagues – the National League (NL) and the American League (AL). Each consists of 15 teams in total, yielding a combined total of 30 teams making up the MLB. It shouldn’t come as any surprise that Canadians love baseball. In fact, Canada‘s involvement with the sport goes all the way back to the 19th Century, with the very first game played in Beachville, Ontario in 1838. Did you know that Canada’s first major league team, the Montreal Expos, was founded in 1969? Canada still has one team playing in the major league, the Blue Jays, which was founded in 1977. MLB Baseball offers plenty of scope when it comes to betting options and opportunities, with easy bets like Moneylines and Over/Unders among the most popular.
UFC/BOXING
Boxing and UFC are among the most popular and the most exciting sports to bet on here at Rizk Sportsbook. Both of these sporting codes draw millions of views from around the world, and major championship events bring fantastic odds and betting opportunities for sports betting Canada. Boxing is arguably one of the oldest sporting contests in the world, and fans have been betting on the result between two well-matched pugilists for centuries. The most popular betting option here is the moneyline bet. This is where you bet on who you think has what it takes to win the bout – outright. Of course, there are plenty of prop bets worth your consideration, including how many rounds, method of victory, parlays, points betting and more. UFC or Ultimate Fighting Championship offers similar betting options but takes the excitement to a whole new level. Canadians love UFC and have always featured well in these events. After all, who could ever forget the first-ever Canuck to participate in UFC, Harold Howard’s final against Steve Jennum back in UFC 3?
