Popular Types of Bets

Wizard offers a range of sportsbook bet types for Canadian players, from simple match wagers to live in-play markets and tournament outrights. Markets are shown with clear odds and a quick bet slip so you can place wagers on your favourite sports without extra steps.

• Match Result: A straight bet on who wins or if the match ends in a draw. Bets settle at full time unless specified.
• Totals (Over/Under): Bet on the combined score being over or under a set number. You win if the final total matches your pick.
• Handicap Betting: One side gets a virtual advantage or deficit to level the odds. It’s useful when one team is heavily favoured and you want better value.
• Player Markets: Wagers on individual performances such as goals, assists or points. Payouts depend on the player’s official match statistics.
• Score Markets: Pick the exact final score for the match. These markets offer higher odds but are harder to predict.
• Accumulators: Combine two or more selections into a single bet to boost the overall odds. All legs must win and returns roll from one selection to the next.
• Live Betting: Place bets while the action unfolds in real time. Odds update continuously, letting you bet in-play on outcomes like next goal or match winner.
• Tournament Winner: Also called outright markets, back the team or player to win an entire competition. Payouts are settled when the tournament concludes.

Watch Live Sports

At Wizard you can watch selected live matches directly from your account while placing live bets. Streaming is tied to live betting markets, so events showing a play icon let you follow the action and check current odds at the same time. Streams make it simple to watch a match and react to changing markets.

Not every fixture is available to stream, and access depends on event selection and your location. For streamed events you’ll often see live statistics and event tracking in the same panel, making it easy to monitor scorelines, possession or key moments while comparing live markets before you stake.

1. Check the schedule: Browse the sports lobby and open the Upcoming or Live tab to check scheduled events. Filter by sport and time to shortlist fixtures you want to follow. Events that may be streamed are usually flagged ahead of kick-off so you can plan your session.
2. Find the stream icon: Look for a play or camera icon next to the match listing; this indicates a live stream is available. On mobile the icon appears on the event card, while desktop shows it in the fixture row. Tap or click the icon to open the event page.
3. Open live markets: Open the event to view live markets and in-play odds. The betting panel sits alongside the stream or in a collapsible pane, letting you check market prices, recent changes and basic match stats before staking. Use the market filters to find specific bets.
4. Start the stream: When a stream is available the event page shows a Start or Watch button. Click it to begin viewing; the video will play inside the match panel, often with integrated live statistics and event tracking. Remember streaming availability may vary by event and by province.

Sports Odds and Potential Payouts

At Wizard, sportsbook odds show the implied probability of an outcome and help you judge how likely an event is. Odds also let you calculate potential payouts: higher odds offer a bigger return for the same stake, while lower odds reflect a higher chance of the outcome occurring. You can change the display to the format you prefer so numbers read more easily.

Keep in mind that risk and potential return are linked - long shots carry lower implied probability but larger payouts if they land. Wizard supports decimal, fractional and American odds, and you can switch formats quickly in the sportsbook settings to compare potential returns.

Sports Betting Strategy Guide

Wizard Sportsbook offers concise insights and friendly predictions for major sporting events in Canada and abroad. Use our quick guides to understand basic markets, compare odds, and follow live betting where available. This page helps you track form, spot value, and keep your betting practical and responsible. Tips here are aimed at beginners and assume simple, low-stakes play.

• Check recent team form and schedule: review the last 5-10 matches, home and away records, and any fixture congestion or travel that could affect performance.
• Follow team news and injuries: confirm starting lineups, suspensions, and late withdrawals before placing a bet, since missing starters often shift odds and outcomes.
• Review head-to-heads and context: some matchups favour one side due to tactics, surface, or weather in outdoor sports; use past meetings as context, not a guarantee.
• Explore markets beyond the match winner: totals, handicaps, props, and period bets can offer better value; compare odds across markets to find sensible opportunities.
• Manage your bankroll and limits: use fixed stakes or percentage rules, set deposit and bet caps, and avoid chasing losses; keep stakes small when trying new markets.
• Keep simple records and learn: log sport, market, stake, odds, and result, then review monthly to identify what works and where to adjust stakes or market focus.
