CFL Wagering

Competitive football in Edmonton began right before the turn of the 19th century. They were known as the Eskimaux until 1910, at which point they became the Eskimos. They were officially founded as a professional team in 1949. All thirteen of their Grey Cups have come since 1949.
Warren Moon, one of only two people to be enshrined in both the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the Canadian Football Hall of Fame, spent six years with the Eskimos. He would lead them to an unprecedented five consecutive Grey Cups between 1978 and 1982. He was named offensive Grey Cup Most Valuable Player award in the 1980 and 1982 games. In 1983, Moon’s final CFL season, he was named the CFL’s Most Outstanding Player.
The Edmonton Eskimos have been the most successful Canadian football team of the modern era (since 1949) and been the football betting favorite in Canadian region. They have won a record 13 Grey Cups since then and have been the runner-up nine times. The five consecutive Grey Cups Edmonton won from 1978 to 1982 is a record in the CFL. They also won three straight from 1954 to 1956. No other team in the modern era has won more than two straight.
Their on-field success has resulted in significant fan-interest and financial success, with Edmonton regularly leading the CFL in attendance. They are one of three remaining community-owned teams in the CFL.
Edmonton took five years to win their first Grey Cup (in 1954). They have continued to be a winner ever since and have won Grey Cups as recently as 2005.
