Polestar offers a selection of sportsbook bet types to suit casual and active bettors across Canada. From simple match-result bets to live markets and multi-leg accumulators, you can pick markets by sport, event, or player. Use the market filters to find odds and place bets quickly on desktop or mobile.

Watch Live Sports
Polestar offers live sports streaming as part of the live betting experience. From your account you can open selected live matches and watch while checking markets and odds in real time. Streaming sits alongside the live markets so you can follow the game and place in-play bets from the same screen.
Available streams vary by event and region, and selected matches may include live statistics and basic event tracking to help you read the market. If a fixture supports streaming, the event page shows the stream icon and live data so you can monitor score updates, market shifts, and key moments while you bet.
- Check the schedule: Go to the Sports or Live section and browse upcoming events to see which fixtures are listed for live play.
- Look for the stream icon: Events that support streaming display a play or camera icon next to the match — use that marker to find watchable games.
- Open live markets: Click the event to open in-play markets; the match view brings up odds, markets, and any available live stats.
- Start the stream: Tap the play icon inside the event window to launch the stream alongside the market list, then follow the action and place bets without leaving the match view.
Sportsbook Odds and Returns
At Polestar our sportsbook odds represent the implied probability of an outcome and give a quick view of how likely an event is to happen. Odds are used to calculate potential payouts so you can compare markets and determine the possible return for a given stake. Keep in mind that higher odds normally mean a lower implied probability and a larger potential payout, so risk and potential return are linked.
You can switch between decimal, fractional and American formats in the sportsbook settings or on the betslip to match your preference. Decimal odds are commonly used in Canada and make payout estimates straightforward, while fractional and American display the same information in different styles. Pick the format that helps you track potential return and manage risk.
| Topic | Explanation |
|---|---|
| What odds represent | Implied probability of an outcome |
| Connection with payout | Odds determine potential payouts for your stake |
| Risk and reward | Higher odds = lower probability and larger potential return |
| Available formats | Decimal, Fractional, American |
Sports Betting Tips and Strategies
Polestar Sportsbook provides clear insights and practical predictions for major sporting events across hockey, soccer, basketball and more. Use our quick guides to compare odds, check form and follow live markets so you can make informed choices. Content is informational only and does not guarantee outcomes; it helps you understand betting markets and follow events more confidently.
- Check recent form: review the last 4–6 games for each team, note home and away differences and look for consistent trends before placing a bet.
- Verify injuries and suspensions: missing starters or late team news can shift odds quickly, so check official lineups and injury reports close to kickoff.
- Review head-to-head and matchups: past meetings, tactical matchups and average goals can point to suitable markets like totals, both teams to score or alternate handicaps.
- Use available stats and markets: compare expected goals, possession and shot counts, then explore markets beyond the match winner such as totals, player props or handicap options.
- Manage your staking and follow live betting: set a simple stake plan (for example 1–2% of your bankroll), avoid chasing losses, and consider live markets to react to how a game unfolds; virtual events are an option when no live fixtures are running.
