Bet on the CFL Football: NFL lockout may increase interest in CFL

If the king of all sports in the U.S. is football, then the NFL Betting is the king of kings. In this royal metaphor, however, Canadian football currently stands as a mere court jester. Many football betting fans around the country know nothing about the Canadian Football League, despite its current growth north of the border.

An Ottawa expansion team is on the way, and with several other prominent Canadian cities clamoring for a team, Canadian football is only on its way up.

As the second most popular national sport in Canada, with first place going to the NHL by leaps and bounds, the CFL could be in line for increased interest from fans in the United States.

With the NFL lockout bogging down the summer, the Canadian Football League may be the only outlet for the kinds of die hard football fans that are currently pulling their hair out over the prospect of a lost season.

For those fans who enjoy gambling on football, the CFL is an excellent option, as the less scrutinized sports may generate more generous odds to the bettors.

Let me make one thing clear; by no means do I suggest that the CFL is, or ever will be the equivalent of the NFL. The NFL betting is a monster, bigger than any sport in North America, and a summer lockout is not enough of a deterrent for fans that they would consider permanently shifting their allegiance north.

However, as is evident by the recent addition of the CFL to the NFL network twice a week, interest in the league has the potential to grow, as does participation in online CFL Betting.

With odds already surfacing on this seasons betting futures, it may be the best time to bet on the CFL online. Now you will be able to watch your wagers unfold, as the top teams in Canada put their skills on display in the states.

Look for the Montreal Allouetes, a perennial favorite, to be in the mix again this year as they look to win their third straight Grey Cup. Nipping at their heels will be the Calgary Stampeders, and the Saskatchewan Roughriders, the latter of whom have lost two straight Grey Cup by a combined four points.
