European Rugby Champions Cup futures betting: Ontario vs. the rest of CanadaIf you're located in Canada and want to get an outright winner wager down for your pick on the next European Rugby club champion, know that Canada now has two distinct market segments when it comes to online betting. In 2021, Canada made single-event sports betting legal, but only Ontario opened a regulated market of operators. Bettors across the rest of Canada are left to the "grey market" of offshore betting sites, where there are more scammers than reputable companies. Local lottery corporations may have options, but tend to have poor offerings and low odds. To help, above our ERCC winner odds, if you are in Ontario, we show you our top legal Ontario betting sites. If you are elsewhere, we show you our top "Canadian betting sites" for players located in other provinces. Our top three brands are the same in either list, as they operate in both situations. |
European Champions Cup Outright winner betting represents the most popular futures market within the competition. Futures markets, also known as Ante Post markets, involve wagers contingent on longer-term outcomes spanning an entire season, rather than for individual games. Typically, for the most lucrative odds for ante post and futures betting markets emerge before the competition commences, at least for those that will actually win the tournament. As the European Rugby Champions Cup progresses and certain teams ascend in their group standings or advance in the playoffs, odds adjust, offering less lucrative returns for teams poised to claim the trophy.
Examples of European Rugby Champions Cup outright winner odds are expressed in Decimal & American formats
In Decimal odds format, the odds represent the full potential return on a wager, including one's stake amount. The first 1.00 of the odds figure reflects the returned stake on a win. To calculate the total return, multiply the decimal odds figure by the stake. For example, if Connacht is listed at 8.25 to win outright, a $10 bet returns a total of $82.50, including the stake, with a potential profit of $72.50.
In American odds format, two expressions exist, both involving the figure of $100. Negative numbers indicate the amount needed to wager for a $100 profit, but this is rare for outrights until the very end of the season, as they represent clear favourites. Positive American format odds figures express the potential profit for a $100 bet (a $100 is not a requirement, it is just the expression of value for this format). For instance, if Clermont has odds of +450 to win outright, a $100 stake would yield a $450 profit, totaling a $550 return.
