We’re down to the medal games in Beijing and Kevin and Warren recap the men’s bronze match with Canada emerging victorious plus a pair of wild semifinals on the women’s side with Japan and Great Britain upsetting the favourites. 

With Bruce Mouat, Oskar Eriksson and Jennifer Dodds all guaranteed spots on the podium in the team event, Kevin believes there’s no reason Canadians shouldn’t be allowed to compete in both mixed doubles and four-player curling. 

Coolbet Canada country manager Kris Abbott joins the show to discuss how they got into the curling betting scene, who sets the odds, the increase in betting through the Beijing tournaments and where the future of betting in curling is heading. 

Kevin and Warren make their picks with both taking Great Britain over Sweden for men’s gold but are split on the women’s bronze between Sweden and Switzerland. For all the latest curling odds, check out Coolbet.
