NRL futures betting: Ontario vs. the rest of CanadaIf you're an ex-pat, from Australia or New Zealand, or you just love the NRL and want to get an outright winner bet down, know that Canada now has two distinct, separate market segments when it comes to people that wish to bet on NRL futures, or anything else online. In 2021, Canada moved to allow single-event sports betting, but only Ontario opened a regulated market of "private" operators. For bettors outside Ontario, across the rest of Canada, nothing has changed. The "grey market" of offshore online bookmakers remains open to go along with the officially legal options run by local lottery corporations. To help, above our NRL outright 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 operators are the same in either environment. |
NRL Outright betting stands out as the premier futures betting market in NRL. Futures, or Ante Post markets, involve wagers contingent on season-long outcomes rather than individual games. Typically, the highest paying odds for Ante Post and futures betting markets are offered before the season commences. As the NRL season progresses and teams position themselves in the standings or advance in the playoffs, odds adjust, offering less payout potential for leading teams. While we have NRL outright winner odds above, we keep NRL match odds on another page.
In American odds format, negative numbers indicate the amount needed to wager for a $100 profit. However, given how outright betting works, negative figures are rarely seen for this market. Positive figures represent the potential profit for a $100 bet. For instance, odds of +495 on the Roosters means a $100 stake would yield a $495 profit, total return of $595.
Decimal odds express the total potential return, including the stake. To calculate potential winnings, multiply the stake by the decimal odds. For example, if the Storm have odds of 12.00 to win outright, a $100 bet returns $1,200, with a $1,100 profit.
