Single-game Sports Wagering in Canada

[dmm]

It appears that single-game sports wagering is finally going to be legalized nation-wide up here in Canada.

My concern is that we're going to get a bunch of soft, square books that will ban winners. Is there any way the public can voice their concerns about certain operators getting licensed? I can see a situation where we'll be forced to continue to bet offshore even with legal books in Canada.

I dont think so.
I think it will be run by the goverment like how Playnow is in B.C.

I hope it won't remain a government monopoly. Based on how much The Score stock has skyrocketed recently, it looks like the market believes it will be more open to private companies.

Well if it is by he goverment then you won't get kicked for winning.
Private companies... Yeah you will probably get kicked out then you will go back to offshore.

Goverment is seein how much money is being wagered offshore and in the USA. That is one of the arguments that is being made to pass this bill.
Goverment is going to run this like they are right now but doesnt mean private companies like The Score etc won't try to jump in.

Soft books that ban and don’t pay are legal in Canada for single wagers and have been for a long time.

The single bet wager you’re talking about is the Govt that will be going in the single bet Buisness.

They will not ban but I presume you will be betting into stupid lines like minimum-110 but probably -115
if you can beat a -115 line constantly you deserve a medal..

The good news is you will never have to sweat the payout..

They'll f*** it up, just like they did with pot

Also the amount of money they are and will lose by the border closing and those states offering sports betting. No need to go to Windsor from Detroit when there are 10 books that offer mobile betting.

legal wagering

[CanuckG]

It will be an open market for sure

Paddy Power manages PlayNow for the government.

[jjgold]

Will pinnacle be banned for Canadians??

Why play anywhere else if you live in Canada??

It would make no sense to play with high juice EURO BOOKS like USA vs PINNY

[biggie12]

Matchbook has been better then pinnacle the last couple months

In what world are people actually worried about 'banning winners'? Sure, if you are exploiting markets you will surely get limited. But conflating that with books 'banning winners' is conflating the issue to support your design to profit.

If you walk with cash to any of these major books and attempt to place a bet @ whatever the limits are, they aren't going to turn you away and say - sorry you win too much. There is so many different ways to get action down, that the small group of people that are merely worried about having their 'accounts limited', are honestly just worried about exploiting markets that they won't otherwise be able to bet.

BTW this coming from a props player who gets limited quite often. I feel the pain but really there is no justifiable argument that I can make in good faith on my part. They are just watching their backs and in no way are they simply 'banning me because I'm a winner'. Thats lazy and without context and unfair. But, such is the world of those who cry about this topic.

Betfair it's ok

liquidity in pools not great

Pinny limits have gotten lower over the years. Not the book they once were but still A+

[grey area]

A Casino that had a sports book ... would be my 2nd home.
Speaking prior plandemic.

Would be kinda cool wouldn't it. However I'd only be going to watch not gamble if they continue the ridiculously low odds like the provincial lotteries on sports.

Who wants to go to a sportsbooks with all losers inside???

Currently Pro Line in Ontario offers 60 cent lines and 2 game parlays pay even money. Only squares & punters will use these newly legislated outlets.

Yeah same here in B.C. , the only good odds are sometimes the oddset as the lines don't change. Used to be better though as now they turn the games off whenever the odds move against them.

I'm an asshole I meant marathonbet not matchbook. I got a live tennis match last week 17 pts better then pinnacle

[jjgold]

Marathon has great odds before games better than most
