For the purpose of sports betting in Ontario, you’ll naturally be interested in putting your money on the best teams. Below, we’ll examine the Ontario sports teams with the biggest following.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are also considered one of the best CFL teams in Ontario, though not as successful as the Argonauts in terms of Grey Cup wins.

Established in 1950, they have a total of 9 Grey Cup wins, although their most recent was in 1999. The Tigers currently compete in the East Division of the CFL as well.

Sports Betting Markets Available at Betiton Ontario

If you’re a true Ontarian sports fan, you will likely know the best teams to place your wagers on already. The next step is to learn more about the different wagers and betting markets that exist in Ontario sports betting. We recommend starting with the most popular and basic Ontario sports gambling markets before you try more complex bets.

Let’s take a look at the most common wagers you’ll find for most sports markets, like NBA betting, NFL betting, hockey, and so on.

• Outright – The most basic wager in sports betting is the outright bet, where you bet on the outcome of a single game or competition, i.e., who will win the game or match.  
• Moneyline – Moneyline betting is another straightforward market suitable for rookie bettors, and it refers to betting on which team or player will win the match/game.
• Spread – Points spread betting is very similar to handicap betting, but the bookmaker sets the specific line you can bet on.
• Parlay/Accumulator – This refers to a type of bet which combines multiple outcomes from the same event or different ones to get multiplied odds.
• Handicap – Similar to spread betting, handicap betting is one of the most complex ways to bet on Ontario sports teams because it involves applying a disadvantage to the favourites and an advantage to the underdog.
• Over/Under – A popular Ontario betting market where you bet, more commonly known as ‘totals’ betting, refers to betting that the outcome will be over or under the predicted score.

Live Sports Betting Ontario

One of the most popular ways to enjoy Ontario online sports betting is to bet live.

Unlike pre-match betting, live sports betting allows you to place your bets when the event, game, or match has already begun.

Once an event begins, the odds will fluctuate constantly as the action unfolds, so if you’re going to place an in-play wager, it’s important that you be watching or at least closely following the game and keeping an eye on the stats to make more informed decisions.

You might notice that live betting in Ontario gives you lower odds than pre-match betting, but this can be expected because once a game begins, it gets easier to predict the result.

Betiton Ontario Mobile Betting

One of the most convenient features of the Betiton sports gambling Ontario site is that it’s easy to enjoy the same Ontario mobile betting experience from your smartphone or tablet.

In fact, most of our members prefer mobile betting because you can place a bet wherever you are.

Whether you’re on the go or watching a live sports event, it’s much easier to place your wagers with a few taps rather than using your laptop or computer every time.

Apps or downloads aren’t even necessary; just use your Betiton username and password on the mobile site to get access.
