It’s almost that time of year again. Super Bowl Sunday is just around the corner, and the betting action at Bodog Sportsbook is already starting to pick up now that the playoffs are here. It’s only going to get busier with each passing round until we reach the Big Game. Millions of NFL fans from Canada and across the Americas will bet on Super Bowl LIX this year, and Bodog is proud to be your No. 1 choice out of all the betting sites here on the interwebs. Welcome aboard.
If you’re relatively new to betting on football, choosing the right sportsbook is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Every time you bet on the NFL, you’re putting your trust in the bookies that they’re going to handle your money correctly, and pay you out in a timely fashion when you win. Bodog Sportsbook has drawn rave reviews for over 30 years when it comes to reliability – and we’re a Canadian site as well, customized with Canadian players in mind.
Bodog may be one of the very first online betting sites in Canada, but we’re even more proud to be considered the best after all these years, long after the others have vanished. Here’s why we’re still No. 1 for Super Bowl betting in the Great White North.
When you play with us at Bodog Sportsbook, you’ll be playing in Canadian funds (CAD), which will help make your banking easier with fewer fees attached. Depositing into your Bodog account using Interac e-Transfer will usually give you a more seamless transaction than using credit cards; for an even better experience, use one of the following cryptocurrencies:
Bitcoin
Bitcoin SV
Bitcoin Cash
Ethereum
Litecoin
US Tether
When you bet with crypto at Bodog, your funds are instantly converted to CAD at the point of deposit, so you don’t have to worry about the price of Bitcoin going up or down while you play. Check out our Bitcoin video tutorial series to find out more.
Any time you need help with your account or navigating the sportsbook, Bodog’s industry-leading Customer Service desk is there for you, with support for both beginners and experienced players. We also have comprehensive FAQ and Help guides on our website, and in our vault, you’ll find hundreds of useful articles written by Canadian sports betting experts.
Here’s another reason Bodog is the No. 1 place to bet: We broke the Canadian NFL betting space wide open with our extensive menu featuring every type of wager you can think of, from the classic point spread to props, parlays and more.
Proposition bets are as old as the hills, but they didn’t arrive on the NFL betting scene until Super Bowl XX, when the first NFL prop on record hit the board: Will William “The Refrigerator” Perry score a touchdown for the Chicago Bears? He did, and Super Bowl betting has never been the same.
Super Bowl prop bets fall into the “exotic” bucket of wagers that you can place on the Big Game. These bets include just about anything other than the outcome of the game itself, like how well individual athletes perform. The starting quarterbacks are usually the most popular players on the field; you can bet on whether they’ll throw for Over or Under the posted total of touchdowns and passing yards. Similar props are available for running backs, receivers/tight ends and other key players.
You’ll also find hundreds of Super Bowl props at Bodog for events that have nothing to do with football. Will the opening Coin Toss land Heads or Tails? Will the National Anthem singer take Over or Under a certain length of time to complete their performance? What song will the Halftime Show act do first? And what colour Gatorade (or other sports beverage) will get dumped over the winning head coach? All of these and more can be found on Bodog’s Super Bowl odds board.
While prop bets have recently become the most popular way to bet on the Super Bowl, the traditional “straight” or “single” bets (point spread, moneyline, total) are still the backbone of the entire industry. Front and centre among these is the spread. Ever since the first Super Bowl in 1967, aka the AFL-NFL World Championship, the focus has been on which team is favoured by how much. Spoiler alert: Vince Lombardi and the Green Bay Packers beat the spread as 14-point favourites when they defeated Kansas City 35-10.
NFL moneylines used to be the king of football betting, until the spread was introduced in the 1940s. They’re still popular today, especially when the Super Bowl rolls around. If the matchup happens to be fairly even, or if you think the underdog is going to pull it off, you might prefer betting one side or the other to win straight up – like when Kansas City (+115 at Bodog) beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 at Super Bowl LVIII.
Then you have those NFL totals, which made their Big Game debut at Super Bowl II. Will the two teams combine to score Over or Under the posted total? These wagers (also known as over/unders) have become increasingly popular as the years have gone by, eventually providing the foundation for all those over/under Super Bowl prop bets that would follow.
This might be the real star of the show. Live betting has exploded across the sports betting world over the past decade. You can now bet in real time on the outcome of each play as it’s about to unfold. Will the next play be a run or a pass? Will a first down be made, or a touchdown scored? You can bet on all this and more at Bodog Sportsbook using your mobile device while the Big Game is on.
Live betting also allows you to keep hammering those Super Bowl single bets after the opening kick-off. Odds for spreads, moneylines, totals and props are updated and refreshed as the game rolls on; if you’ve got enough insight to see which team is ebbing and which is flowing, you can take advantage with a timely bet. Just hit the “LIVE” button at the top-left of the Bodog odds page to see what’s on tap right now.
This is where the rubber meets the road. Whether you’re placing a handful of Super Bowl bets or several hundred, you’ve got two things on your mind: football, and winning money. Red tape is the last thing you want to think about while the Big Game is on.
That’s where Bodog Sportsbook comes in. When you place your Super Bowl wagers with us, you know your Bodog account is secure, and you can make fast and seamless transactions in Canadian dollars using multiple payment options – including the six types of cryptocurrency we listed above.
Having a trusted online sportsbook at your fingertips, either on your mobile device or computer, is an absolute must when you’re betting in Canada. This country is fortunate to have one of the best banking systems in the world; Bodog’s transactions page gives you a hassle-free “interface” with this system, letting you move money in and out of your Bodog account without getting tangled in that nasty red tape.
To make those Super Bowl bets as seamless as possible, Bodog was one of the first sportsbooks to accept cryptocurrency for deposits and withdrawals. It started with Bitcoin, the leading digital coin in the crypto space; then we added Bitcoin SV and Bitcoin Cash to our menu, followed by Ethereum, Litecoin and Tether. Each coin has its own use beyond sports betting, so choose the ones that work best for you, but if you’re new to crypto, Bitcoin is the easy choice.
You can learn more about how easy it is to bet with crypto at Bodog Sportsbook by browsing through our Bitcoin video tutorial series, and our library of crypto betting articles here at Bodog. And did we mention there are super-sized bonuses waiting for you when you use crypto to bet on the Super Bowl?
Every online sportsbook worth its salt will have some kind of bonus package for new customers – but none of them can hold a candle to Bodog Sportsbook. Our bonus offers are the industry standard, and they’ll help you get a leg up while you’re learning the basics of sports betting beyond the Big Game.
It all starts with our famous 100% Sports Welcome Bonus. If you haven’t already, sign up for your free Bodog Sportsbook account, then make your first deposit with us; we’ll match that amount dollar-for-dollar, giving you up to $400 in free bonus cash that you can use to bet on the Big Game. We’ll even throw in 50 Free Spins on our popular Gods of Luxor slot in our online casino.
Having a bonus like this in your back pocket can make all the difference when you’re just starting out. If you’re a new bettor in Canada, you probably know a lot about football already, be it NFL or CFL – but do you know the ins and outs of sports betting, and how to get the most value from each bet type? The more you learn, the more likely your bets will cash in. In the meantime, that bonus money will help keep your bankroll in positive territory, so you can stay in the game without having to reload.
Want even more free money? Whether this is your first deposit with us, or you’re already one of our valued customers, you can claim your 100% Crypto Sports Bonus for up to $600 in bonus cash. The more wagers you place at Bodog Sportsbook (and on the horses at Bodog Racebook), the more bonus money you can collect. Meanwhile, you’ll enjoy smoother and faster transactions with smaller fees than you’ll pay when you use credit cards or other methods to fund your Bodog account.
