It’s a thrill…for Canadian sports fans to have the NHL season open along with the NBA pre-season. The baseball playoffs are under way, the NFL is back and the CFL season is heading for its finale (Go Bombers!).
But there’s a problem. Betting. Who else is sick and tired of Bet365 commercials between every period, inning and quarter? I can’t reach for the remote volume button fast enough.
I started keeping a mental list of the new sports betting sites since Ontario legalized them in April. Besides Gibraltar-based Bet365 (a not-so subtle nudge to bet every day of the year) there are BetRivers, The Score, Sports Interaction, Bodog, DraftKings, FanDuel, and those are the ones I remember.
