CFL odds and Grey Cup betting explained
Enter a sample CFL line in the calculator to see what each bet pays and the chance each price implies. Below it: Grey Cup game facts and CFL overtime rules.
The 113th Grey Cup: Sunday, November 15, 2026, McMahon Stadium, Calgary. In a Grey Cup game a tie after regulation goes to overtime until there is a winner.
The 3-way prices hold a 5.7% margin. Without it: A in regulation 52.6%, tie 6.3%, B 41.1%. A tie goes to overtime, and team A wins that part 50% of the time by your setting.
A moneyline of 1.70 on team A pays less than this fair price: −$0.05 per $1 on average, by these numbers.
Why the two prices differ
CFL rules: Tie after regulation: overtime mini-game, each team scrimmages from the opponent's 35-yard line; TD convert must be a 2-point attempt from the 3-yard line; if still tied, a second mini-game at the opposite end. In a playoff or Grey Cup game: additional mini-games, alternating ends, until a winner is determined (no tie). So a moneyline (“to win the game”) has two outcomes, while a 3-way bet settles at the end of regulation and can lose to a tie.
Fair moneyline chance of A = A in regulation + tie × A’s overtime share, after the margin is removed in proportion. Fair price = 1 ÷ chance.

- Read the moneylineFor example, a $10.00 bet at +150 returns $25.00 if that team wins: $15.00 profit plus the stake.
- Read the spreadThe favourite must win by more than the points. The underdog covers by winning or losing by less. See point spread.
- Read the totalPick over or under the combined points of both teams. See over/under explained.
- Spot the marginTwo sides at −110 add up to 104.8%. The part above a fair book is the operator's margin.
- Check overtime termsRead whether the bet counts overtime points before you place it. The rules of each product decide this.
From price to implied chance
Implied chance = 1 ÷ decimal odds
Example: +150 is 2.50 in decimal odds: 1 ÷ 2.50 = 40.0%.
