    Its starting... It will take time... Most people don't quite understand or care about it yet... Lets face it, Most people don't even know where the Canadian Football League is being played... WTF is a Sask-atch-e-wan??? And why should we care about Where Ricky Williams went to smoke weed and NFL retireees go to pasture...

    From a betting POV though, it's a very good information filled stats driven league in which books are quite vulnerable because even THEY don't keep tabs.. In many ways, I'd like to keep it that way...

    Whatever haters are out there though... Just don't call it a farm league..

      From someone that lives in Vancouver, Canada, .. I can say that CFL is a whacky game. It is very difficult to predict the CFL and it just isn't very compelling compared to the NFL.

        Can't see 'em on TV.

        Folks even bet on Soccer (when it's on TV) and it's almost as much fun watching paint dry.

          very poor marketing on the cfls part, but in there defence its tough to sell an inferior product compared to the NFL

                I agree that the CFL has a marketing problem , They need to be more active in advertising and showing there games. games are fun to watch because it is wacky and fast paced

                  It is a very difficult game to bet on though - very unpredictable.

                      I agree this is definitely part of the issue... Getting the average Joe who just wants to casually be entertained...

                      Can't beat the NFL for a Plethora of Drama all/mostly in one day...

                      With that said, It really just needs to be SOMEWHERE and like this past week, with 2 double headers, It works better.. Next week it's a game a day...
