Betting Sites for Curling
We don't currently list any betting sites for Curling.
What Can You Bet on in Curling?
Match winner is the main curling market, and most betting sites cover the Grand Slam of Curling, world championships and Canadian national championships. Around it you'll usually find:
- Handicap: a points spread such as -1.5, so the favorite has to win by at least 2.
- Total points: over/under on combined points in the game.
- End betting: the score in a single end, including whether the team without the last stone steals a point.
- Outrights: the tournament winner, plus markets on who reaches the playoffs.
Most team games last 10 ends, though some events use 8. Only one team can score in an end, and each counting stone is worth 1 point. Check the number of ends before you bet a total.
Which Curling Events Can You Bet On?
- Grand Slam of Curling: five events between October and December 2026. All are in Canada and have men's and women's divisions. The National runs November 17 to 22, the Open December 1 to 6 and the Players' Cup December 15 to 20.
- Canadian championships: the Scotties Tournament of Hearts runs February 12 to 21, 2027, and the Brier February 26 to March 7, 2027.
- World Curling championships: the World Mixed Doubles is January 4 to 10, 2027, and the World Women's March 13 to 21. The World Men's runs March 27 to April 4 in Saint John, New Brunswick. It's the first edition with 18 teams.
- European Curling Championships: held each fall, with the 2026 finals played at the start of November.
How Does Live Betting on Curling Work?
Live markets update after each end, so there's time to think between bets. The key number is who holds the hammer, the right to throw the last stone of an end. A team that scores gives up the hammer, while a team that blanks an end, scoring nothing, usually keeps it. A one-point lead without the hammer late in a game is much shakier than it looks on the scoreboard.
Teams can also concede before the final end, which is common when one side is well behind. A concession ends the game early, so fewer ends get played and live totals tend to fall when a game turns lopsided.
What Should You Watch for When Betting on Curling?
- Hammer in the first end: championship events decide it with a Last Stone Draw before the game, and it shapes the early scoring.
- Concessions and totals: a big early lead can cut a game short and send it under the total.
- Mixed doubles rules: each team plays 5 stones per end with one placed before the end starts, and a blank end passes the hammer to the opponent.
- Round-robin standings: late in the round robin, a team already sure of a playoff place may have less to play for than its opponent.
