Curling sports online betting in Canada is one of the most popular betting categories. Given that Canada excels in this sport, it’s not surprising. If you’re interested in learning more about curling betting, how to read curling betting odds, and place your bets at Betiton Canada, this guide has all the information you need.

Our Betiton guide will explain everything you should know about betting on curling, whether you’re an experienced bettor or new to online sports betting. You’ll also get our best tips and strategies to bet on curling with the best odds of placing a successful bet.

How Does Online Betting on Curling Work? 

Curling sports betting works like any other type of sports betting; you place a bet on an online sportsbook based on your predicted outcome, and if it’s correct, you receive a payout according to the odds of the bet placed. Naturally, if your prediction is wrong, you don’t receive a payout and lose the amount you bet.

Betting on curling often involves betting on the winning team in a match, but it can be a lot more varied than that. As we’ll explain later in this curling betting guide, you can explore other betting markets at Betiton, but first, let’s look at how curling betting odds work.

Curling Betting Odds

Like all our sports betting odds, Betiton provides curling odds for all the major competitions and tournaments. The default odds format is the American or moneyline, which is fairly common in Canada.

You can easily identify the favourite in this format because their odds are always a number preceded by a negative (-) sign. On the other hand, the underdog‘s odds are always a positive (+) number. The positive number tells you the amount you can win for a $100 wager, while the negative odds tell you how much you need to wager to win $100.

If you’re accustomed to a different odds format, you can switch to the decimal or fractional format by clicking on the menu on the top-right corner of the page.

Curling Betting Markets

There are several curling betting markets available at Betiton Canada, although they are quite limited compared to other sports. Due to the nature of the sport, there aren’t as many different ways to bet on curling as on other sports like hockey, baseball, or soccer, for example.

Here’s an overview of the main betting curling markets at Betiton Canada.

• Match Winner – This is the easiest form of betting on curling and involves placing your bets on the team you think will win a single curling game.
• Outright Winner—Similar to the market described above, outright betting involves placing a bet on the team you think will win a tournament or championship, such as the Canada Curling Cup.
• Totals Betting – This type of betting refers to betting on the total score, usually as an Over/Under bet where you try to predict whether the total score will be lower or higher than the number indicated by the sportsbook.
• Prop Bets – Special bets known as prop bets are available for some curling competitions, and they can include various bets, such as betting on an individual player’s performance or the team with the highest score in a season.

Curling Betting Tips by Betiton Canada

Whether you’re new to curling betting or already have experience with it, let us share our top tips to help you form your betting strategy. The tips below might also help you avoid some common mistakes beginners make.

1. Avoid betting on a team because they’re your favourite. Your bets should be based on research, expert tips, predictions, and current odds.

4. Watch the big games if you want to bet on them.
5. Check head-to-head records and watch previous matchups.
6. Ensure you understand the rules and how scoring works in curling.
7. Manage your bankroll strategically. Set a budget for curling betting and avoid taking big risks.
8. Always bet responsibly.
9. Find reliable tipsters and check their predictions. These tipsters spend hours watching game footage, reading the latest news, and analysing game records to form their predictions. Although they don’t guarantee a successful bet, they’re definitely worth considering.

Main Curling Rules Explained by Betiton

If you’re going to bet on curling, it’s crucial to understand the game’s rules properly. Below is a quick summary of the most important curling rules.

• Curling is played between two teams of four players each.
• Curling is played on a sheet of ice and is usually an indoor sport.
• Players take turns sliding a 40-pound granite stone toward the ‘house’.
• The house is an area made up of four circles, with the centre known as the ‘tee‘ or ‘button‘.
• The goal for each team is to slide the stone as close to the button as they can.
• Two team members take turns sweeping the ice in front of the stone using brooms. This is done to slightly melt the ice while the stone is already in motion and help control its speed and direction.
• A point is scored for the stone closest to the middle of the button. Every stone that comes closer to the button than the opposing team’s stone is worth an extra point.
• The opposing team’s stone can’t be moved out of play if it’s in the ‘Free Guard Zone’. This is known as the 5-stone rule.
• The game is played to 10 ends, but mixed doubles usually play eight.
• The team with the stone closest to the circle’s centre wins the game.
