Throughout Canada, it seems people report sighting the creature Bigfoot more often than they see the Stanley Cup. If you could bet on it at Canadian online gambling sites, some operator would probably love to offer odds on seeing Bigfoot.
Using data from The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, BetCanada.com compiled the number of reported sightings of Bigfoot by province, as tracked and maintained by researchers, archivists, and investigators. We developed odds of people reporting seeing Bigfoot in the country, ranking the provinces.
Province | Percentage Chance | Odds |
British Columbia | 15.4% | +550 |
Ontario | 14.3% | +600 |
Alberta | 12.5% | +700 |
Manitoba | 12.5% | +700 |
New Brunswick | 10.5% | +850 |
Saskatchewan | 10.0% | +900 |
Yukon | 10.0% | +900 |
Quebec | 9.1% | +1000 |
Nova Scotia | 5.7% | +1650 |
It has been almost 32 years since the last NHL team north of the border won the Stanley Cup – that was the Montreal Canadiens in 1993. NHL betting odds this season have the Edmonton Oilers, Toronto Maple Leafs and Winnipeg Jets among the favorites to end that drought in Canada’s most popular sport.
If that happens, what are the odds that Bigfoot will join the Stanley Cup parade?
The western province of British Columbia has had by far the most reports of seeing Bigfoot, according to Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization data. B.C. has had 135 reports since the site started tracking data, twice as many as second-place Ontario (68). That’s why British Columbia is atop our odds board for reported Bigfoot sightings.
The other provinces have combined for 101 reports of seeing the mythical creature, including 43 in Alberta and 31 in Manitoba. Perhaps in Canada, one alternative to bundling up and layering for protection against the cold is just being a large, furry creature?
