World Cup betting reached new highs due to the relative success of the US and Canadian national teams, the latter of which qualified for the finals for the first time since 1986.

Here at Betiton Canada, soccer betting is always incredibly popular, offering a huge array of wagering markets and bet types.

These markets are central for the online sports betting in Canada, but how exactly does soccer wagering work and how can you get the most out of your bankroll?

How Does Soccer Betting Work?

Soccer betting is globally popular and covers a huge range of tournaments and markets. In fact, we regularly provide access to hundreds of betting markets across various national and international competitions here at Betiton Canada, including the UEFA Champions League, the English Premier League, the World Cup and even the Canadian Premier League.

If we drill down deeper, you’ll find both pre-game and in-play betting markets, including moneyline wagers (where you back the winner of a single game) and futures (where you wager on which side will win a league or tournament). There are countless other soccer betting markets online too!

Soccer Betting Odds

For soccer betting explained to be fully explained, you’ll first need to understand the various roles played by odds and pricing. Typically, soccer betting odds will tell you much you can expect to win in relation to your stake, while they also imply a percentage probability of a specific outcome occurring.

However, odds are presented in different formats, namely decimal, fractional, and American. Here’s a breakdown of how to interpret each format.

• Decimal Odds

Here at Betiton Canada, we use decimal odds. These comprise a single numerical value to two decimal places, while the figure will tell you how much you can expect to win for every $1 bet successfully.

This sum includes your initial stake, so placing a winning $10 bet on Canada to beat Trinidad in the CONCACAF Nations League at odds of 1.50 will see you bank $15 in total.

• Fractional Odds

Fractional odds are more commonly found in the UK, while they feature two numbers separated by a slash.

The first number relays how you much you’ll win in relation to your stake amount, which is represented by the second number.

Using the same example as above, a successful $10 bet at a price of ½ will earn a $5 profit, while your initial stake will also be returned.

• American Odds

American odds are sparingly used outside of the states, while they comprise three digit numbers that are accompanied by either a ‘plus’ or ‘minus’ sign.

The former indicates a betting underdog, while the number relays how much you’ll win if you successfully stake $100.

Conversely, the minus sign reveals a betting favourite, while the accompanying number lets you know much you’ll have to stake to win $100.

How to Build Your Betslip at Betiton Canada?

Once you’ve understood the presentation of odds and started to compare soccer wagering markets, the next step is to build your online Betiton soccer betting slip. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you do this.

• Step 1: Access your Betiton account through the ‘LOG IN’ tab on the left-hand side of the screen.

• Step 4: Once your selections have been added, simply set your stake amounts and combine outcomes into parlays where appropriate. Then, review the information to confirm and hit ‘Place Bets’.

Canadian Premier League

The Canadian Premier League launched six years ago in May 2017, with the regular season comprising eight teams from five of Canada’s 10 provinces. This represents the pinnacle of competitive footy and soccer betting in Canada, while the recent 2023 campaign only concluded with the playoff final on October 28^th.

Here, Forge FC claimed their fourth title out of five by beating Cavalry 2-1 at the Tim Hortons Field in Ontario, while Atlético Ottawa’s Ollie Bassett top scored in the 2023 season with 11 goals.

Canadian Championship

The Canadian Championship often runs alongside the Premier League and remains the premier domestic cup competition in the country.

This also dominates soccer betting in Canada, with 14 teams from five leagues (including the Premier League and MLS) competing every year for the Voyageurs Cup.

The champions from the country’s three semi-professional leagues are also afforded the chance to participate, while the competition has now been held for 23 consecutive years.

The Vancouver Whitecaps FC are the defending champions heading into 2024.

Canadian Soccer League

The Canadian Soccer League (CSL) is a semi-professional competition that features seven different teams, most of which are located in the province of Ontario.

The league was launched 25 years ago, following the demise of the former Canadian Soccer League in 1992 and the subsequent restructuring of the sport in the country.

Like Canada’s professional leagues, the CSL features a regular season and subsequent playoffs, while FC Continentals are the defending champions after lifting their third title in 2022.

Live Soccer Betting at Betiton Canada

When you engage in online soccer betting at Betiton Canada, you can access both pre-game and in-play markets. The latter allows access to thousands of wagers and micro betting opportunities, on the almost innumerable in-game events that may occur (from the time of the next goal to the player who will receive the next yellow card).

Betiton Canada Soccer Betting Tips

In-play wagering should definitely play a role in the various strategies and soccer betting systems that you deploy. But how else can you make the most of your bankroll here at Betiton Canada? Here are some soccer betting tips to keep in mind.

• Consider Home Field Advantage

Home field advantage is a key consideration is most sports and competitions, but this appears to be particularly prevalent in soccer.

However, while soccer has the largest average home advantage across international leagues, this also varies significantly from one competition to another.

For example, the home side wins 69.1% of all MLS matches in the US, whereas English Premier League teams prevail in around 46.2% of their home matches on average.

Regardless, it’s key that you factor this into your betting strategy.

• Use Spread or Handicap Betting to Create Value

The best soccer teams (like Manchester City in the EPL or Forge FC in the Canadian Premier League) often arrive in matches as short price favorites. However, the good news is that you can back such teams to win at enhanced odds through soccer handicap betting.

This requires you to apply a virtual handicap (such as -1.5 goals) to the favorite and back them to win by two clear goals. Just be sure to use this strategically, while factoring the relative strength and weakness of both competing sides before determining the handicap.

• Target Even Money Markets

If you want to place soccer bets online with a view to earning incremental returns, targeting even money markets such as BTTS and the over/under on total goals scored makes perfect sense.

These wager types only offer two potential outcomes, while you can easily analyse each market by appraising the respective form of competing sides and the average number of goals scored per 90 during specific competitions. This betting strategy can deliver consistent results over time.
