Crack the Code: Betting Smart on the 2023 CFL Season

Cracking the code and betting smart on CFL can be a challenge and whilst there are many similarities to betting on the NFL there are some key differences to keep in mind.

Football games in Canada are different to those in the United States for many different reasons; in the CFL they play on a bigger pitch, have three downs rather than four and 12 men on the field of play.

It’s vital to approach the end of the 2023 CFL season with a strategic and smart mindset and throughout this article, we will explore the many decisions you can make to finish the campaign on a high note.

Research is your friend

Studying the teams that are playing and participating in CFL games sounds like a given, however, you would be surprised by how many punters overlook researching rosters and past performances. Things like coaching staff, key players, injuries and any recent games may affect the team’s overall performance. Thoroughly understanding these key elements of the CFL will provide you with a better understanding of each roster’s strengths but maybe more importantly its weaknesses.

Know your odds

Odds provided by bookmakers are essential to follow on a regular if you want to maximize your chances of betting smart in the CFL. By analyzing odds you’ll be able to grasp a better idea of the perceived likelihood of a team winning the game. By comparing different odds from various bookmakers you will be able to look for value bets where you believe the odds are higher than they should be, thus, giving you a greater chance of maximizing your potential winnings.

Home is where the heart is

Whether you are placing your CFL bet in the comfort of your own home or at one of the many poker casinos dotted around Canada, one thing that you should definitely be considering in CFL betting is home-field advantage. Some sports teams simply perform better in front of their home crowd and this is pretty much the same in all professional sports, including the CFL. Taking into account the team playing at home and the team on the road could impact the outcome of the game and the bet you have placed.

Summing it up

Making informed decisions based on analysis and research is always the smartest way to bet on sports and the CFL is no different. However, you should always keep in mind that betting on sports always carries a slight level of risk and it’s crucial to approach it responsibly.
