This may be the most-bet Canadian election in history.
Surely, the news that Canadians will vote on Apr. 28 had a few folks scrambling to make a bet on the outcome.
However, the changing landscape for online wagering means betting on Canada’s 45th federal election won’t be exactly like it was for past trips to the polls. If anything, it will be bigger and even more international.
That’s because of the growing presence of online sportsbooks, both regulated and unregulated, as well as “prediction markets” that can offer de facto wagering on basically anything.
As a result, betting on this year’s federal election seems likely to eclipse that of any previous vote in Canada.
