    a lot more turn overs, so i guess the game is more interesting. and less predicatable for gambling

    Not at all, I think it takes a lot of the strategy out.

      I don't see how 3 downs makes the game less predictable for gambling.
      The field is much larger to compensate for this and there are many rule differences compared to the NFL.

      The CFL is excellent for wagering purposes as far as I'm concerned.

        when you take a knee in the inzone, the other team gets 1 point...that is pretty interesting.

            CFL by far is one of the best league out there. Not sure for gambling but the CFL is awesome. I live in Minnesota and drive u to Winnipeg and sometimes Regna for a game.

            It's amazing that such a big league and the US doesn't go after it.

            The CFL is so big, and it's like the americans don't even know it's there, except for football fans I guess.

            But most americans don't even know where they are on a map so forget about that issue, i guess.

            I was at a footall game about 6 years ago in Calgary and it was just a blast. Tailgating, the game was unbelievable, and it was aginst the rival Edmonton team. Apparently we got lucked out getting ticketrs though it costed us tons from scalpers.

            Paid somthing like 150 a ticket I remember.

                  Too much kicking with three downs. Boring as hell. NFL needs every inch of its four downs. Maybe lesser leagues could be interesting with three downs.

                  CFL big? How can four games a week be big? That's about as Mickey Mouse as it gets.

                    Well, I'm Canadian and personally, both NFL and CFL have the positives and negatives. I prefer 4 downs myself, more strategy involved. With 3 downs, it's pass, pass and a few runs here and there. What is great about the CFL though is the large field. You get a lot more returns on kickoffs and punts into the endzone than you do in the NFL. And the 5 yard rule instead of fair catches means you get to see alot more returns.

                      that is strategy. if you're up and you got 1st down with less than a minute to go, you should able to run out the clock.
