What is the Grey Cup?

The Grey Cup is the name of the championship game of the Canadian Football League (CFL) as well as the name of the trophy that is awarded to the winning team.  The trophy was commissioned in 1909 by Canada's Governor General Earl Grey.  It was originally intended to be donated to be the trophy for senior Canadian amateur hockey championship. Once the Allan Cup was donated for that purpose, Grey donated it to the organisation that is now the CFL. 

Examples of Grey Cup odds expressed in American, Decimal and Fractional formats

For American odds format, given the number of teams with a chance to win the Grey Cup and the format of the playoffs, the odds will almost always be a positive figure, meaning above even-money.  This means you might see odds of +500 on Winnipeg to win outright.  This odds price is expressing that if you were to bet $100, your potential profit would be $500 for a total potential return of $600.

With Decimal odds format, know that the odds express the full amount that would be returned on your successful wager including the stake amount.  For this, simply multiply the Decimal odds by the stake. For example, if Edmonton is listed at 7.75 to win the Grey Cup, a $100 bet would return a total of $775 including your stake, so the potential profit would be $675. 

For Fractional format, the odds express the amount of potential profit that will be returned on a wager.  For example, with a wager of $100 and odds of 10/1 on Ottawa to win outright (said 10 to 1), one could see a profit of $1,000 (10 divided by 1, multiplied by $100) plus the stake amount for a total potential return of $1,100.
