David scores! Unfortunately for us, it was Promise David who bagged the lone goal for Team Canada in our 2-1 World Cup group-stage loss to Switzerland; if it had been Jonathan David (+235), the first leg of our first all-Canadian parlay would have been a successful one.
Sadly, the BC Lions (–150) also came up short for our second leg, losing 41-33 to the Calgary Stampeders in Kelowna. And the Toronto Blue Jays have lost five of their last six, sending their odds for making the playoffs from –125 last week to +150 as we go to press.
That’s the thing with parlay bets: Unless you pack them with heavy favourites, your combos are more likely to lose than win. The trick is to find betting value with each leg, then enjoy those large payouts when they do happen. And we’ve got a monster jackpot waiting at the end of our latest Canadian parlay:
– Saturday: Canada to Advance over Morocco (+230)
– Sunday: Hamilton Tiger-Cats over Winnipeg Blue Bombers (–175)
– Felix Auger-Aliassime to win US Open (+5000)
– Combined parlay odds: +26347
Canada to Advance over Morocco (+230)
Losing to the Swiss meant that Canada didn’t get to play Sunday’s Round of 32 match at BC Place, but we still found a way to down South Africa 1-0 in Inglewood on a Stephen Eustaquio laser beam in stoppage time. Not having to play those 30 extra minutes – or take any penalties – could be the difference in the Round of 16, where Les Rouges will face a team from Morocco that just had to do all those things against the Netherlands late Monday night in Monterrey, after scoring their own stoppage-time goal to level the match at 1-1.
Canada got a welcome boost Sunday when Alphonso Davies made his 2026 World Cup debut in the 75th minute. It was the highlight of what had been a fairly dull match up to that point; Davies instantly made Canada a better team and looked healthy enough in the process. Morocco right-back Achraf Hakimi may still be the top-rated player on the pitch this Saturday, but Davies will be fresher after Hakimi went the distance Monday.
Full credit to Morocco for hanging tough against one of Europe’s better clubs. The Atlas Lions were one of the more fashionable value picks heading into the World Cup, and they’re still tempting as +2000 seventh-favourites heading into the Round of 16. But the Netherlands aren’t in the same class as France, England or Spain – or even Portugal and Germany, for that matter.
Now that Morocco have established themselves as equals to the Oranje, we can see they were undervalued heading into the tournament at around +4000 compared to the Netherlands in the +1800 neighbourhood. That might be the “true” ceiling for the Lions. Beating the Dutch on penalties, which are essentially a coin flip, will make Morocco a betting target for casual fans across the globe.
What is Canada’s true ceiling? It’s still hard to say given the health of Davies, but he’ll have an extra day of rest to prepare for Saturday’s contest. The more minutes he’s capable of playing, the better our chances of advancing will be. Go Canada.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Hamilton Tiger-Cats (–175)
When it comes to Week 5 of the 2026 CFL campaign, it’s tempting to pick the Edmonton Elks as –115 road favourites versus the same BC Lions team that came up short last week. Once again, that game is at the Apple Bowl in Kelowna because of the World Cup, and Edmonton is the only undefeated team in the league, while BC remains winless.
It’s a trap. While the Lions continue to struggle on defence, they are getting healthy again; however, instead of taking BC as a contrarian “buy low” pick, we’re recommending the Ti-Cats (2-1 SU and ATS) and their +21 point differential. That’s five points better than the Elks – and the best in the CFL. Meanwhile, the Bombers (1-2 SU and ATS) are coming off back-to-back losses, including Week 2 when they fell 37-27 to the Cats as 2.5-point home favourites.
We also have a quarterback mismatch here between Hamilton’s Bo Levi Mitchell (eight TDs, one INT), who leads all regular starters with a 139.7 efficiency rating, and Winnipeg’s Zach Collaros (five TDs, two INTs) in fifth place at 111.6. The Bombers addressed this by reuniting with QB Dru Brown, who came over last week from the Ottawa Redblacks, but Brown will return to his previous role as back-up to Collaros – for now.
Felix Auger-Aliassime to win US Open (+5000)
Wimbledon has just started, so those futures have been taken off the board at Ozoon for the moment – but we’ve got tennis odds for the next three majors on the calendar. The US Open is next up in September; Auger-Aliassime has built-in betting value as the relatively unknown Canadian (compared to the other top seeds, that is) climbing the ladder, all the way up to No. 4 on the ATP Rankings heading into SW19. There are two other Canadian candidates on our list: Denis Shapovalov (+10000) in the men’s draw, and Victoria Mboko (+1800) in the women’s. Mboko might be the most promising of the three, but she tore her left MCL on June 7 after slipping on the grass courts at Queen’s Club, thus knocking Mboko out of Wimbledon contention. Even if these injuries usually heal more quickly than torn ACLs, Mboko says she’ll miss the rest of the grass-court season – which will in turn affect her form for the US Open.
As for Shapovalov, he’s got skills, but the deepest major runs he’s ever made on the hardcourt were the quarterfinals at the 2020 US Open and the 2022 Australian Open. He’s also fallen from No. 10 in the rankings (after his 2020 US Open performance) to No. 39 pre-Wimbledon. If the men’s draw were lacking in obvious elite talent like the women’s draw, where seemingly anyone can take down a major, maybe we’d take a flier on Shapovalov at +10000.
Instead, we’re going with Auger-Aliassime, who’s almost certainly more than twice as likely to win the US Open compared to Shapovalov. The Montreal native is in excellent form, and he made the semifinals at Flushing in both 2021 and 2025; his competition this year includes Jannik Sinner, who’s overpriced as the –110 favourite, Carlos Alcaraz (+200), who hasn’t played since mid-April because of tenosynovitis in his right wrist, and Novak Djokovic (+1000), who’s in the twilight of his career at age 39.
Auger-Aliassime (age 25) is also custom-built for hardcourt tennis. He’s got that big booming serve at 199.2 km/h (100th percentile), drilling 9.77 aces per match (97th percentile) thus far in 2026 while committing just 2.1 double-faults (74th percentile). We know he can win at the ATP 250 and 500 levels; it’s only a matter of time before Felix bags something bigger.
As with last week’s all-Canadian parlay, you’ll have to wait a while before getting paid out – the 2026 US Open wraps up September 13 with the men’s singles final. But should Auger-Aliassime break through, and everything else fall into place, that +26347 jackpot will make it all worthwhile. If you like what you see here, hit the tennis futures at Ozoon, add this to your bet slip alongside our other recommended picks, and make sure to come back next week for more Canadian parlay action.
