With Christmas just a few days away, the British Columbia Light Corporation has started betting on whether it will snow in Vancouver this time. Now, on Crown Agency's online platform PlayNow.com , locals can bet on a series of Christmas novel bets, including whether it will snow or the coldest day of January 2023.
Despite hundreds of gaming websites, Playnow is the only regulated online portal in British Columbia. BCLC's platform announced betting odds on new bets ahead of the Christmas holiday. However, betting odds are not in favour of bettors, as the last time the snow fell on Christmas Day in Vancouver dates back to December 2008.
Playnow, however, predicted it was betting on a potential white Christmas over Vancouver. The website has a 2.50 chance of snow in the city. Meanwhile, Victoria also has a 2.50 chance of snow. Other Canadian cities such as Ottawa, Regina, and Winnipeg have a probability of 1.20, while Toronto has a probability of 1.40 and Montreal has a probability of 1.50.
Also, bettors at PlayNow can bet on which day will be the coldest in January 2023. The probability is 5.00 from January 1 to 6, and the probability is 5.50 from January 7 to 11. The period from January 12 to 16 is 5.00 and the period from January 17 to 21 is 4.50. Finally, the probability from January 22 to 26 is 3.50, and the probability from January 27 to the end is 3.50.
Statistically, early January is one of the most cold days in the province. This year, the coldest day of the month was the first day of Jan. 1, when the temperature dropped to -10 degrees. Before 2021, the coldest day of the month was Jan. 23, when it was -4 degrees, and in 2020, the coldest day of the month was Jan. 14, when it was -8 degrees.
In addition to a variety of new bet choices, PlayNow also offers bets on sports like hockey. Ahead of the new NHL season in which the Vancouver Canucks were competing to make the postseason playoffs, their website announced the possibilities in October. At the time, the team had a 1.76 chance of advancing to the postseason compared to missing the playoffs with 2.05.
Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year for lottery sales, as many people tend to buy them as gifts. But the BCLC is reminding provincial adults and parents not to take responsibility for exchanging gifts and give lottery tickets to children and minors. Through the #GiftSmart initiative, Crown Agency will put the above in more than 3,500 lottery retailers across the province.
The analysis showed that minors had their first gambling experience at the age of 9 to 11, and about 60% of high school students in the past year actually gambled for money. In addition, 10% to 14% of teenagers are at risk of developing gambling problems, while 4% to 6% of current teenagers are found to have serious gambling problems.
