  • Canada has +200 odds to win the men's curling event.
  • Sweden has +300 odds on the women's side as the betting favorites.
  • The trio of Canada, Sweden and Great Britain have the shortest odds on both sides.

BEIJING - The Winter Olympics are just a few weeks away from starting and one of the best betting options is on curling as the field is wide open.

Men's Curling Odds Favor Canada

If there is any country that's proven to be successful in Olympic curling, it's Canada.

The Canadian men brought home the gold medal in 2006, 2010, 2014 before finishing fourth in the most recent Olympic Games. Thus, they have the shortest Olympic betting odds.

Beijing 2022 - Men's Curling Odds

  • Canada +200
  • Great Britain +220
  • Sweden +360
  • Switzerland +900
  • USA +1400
  • Italy +2000
  • Norway +2800
  • Russian Olympic Committee +2800
  • China +8000
  • Denmark +8000

Great Britain won the first Olympic curling gold medal back in 1924, but haven't topped the podium since.

They finished second in 2014 and 5th in 2018, maybe not being as good of a bet as Sweden considering Sweden has finished on the podium in each of the last two Olympics, placing third in 2014 and second in 2018.

Women's Curling Odds Favor Sweden

Sweden has been a women's curling dynasty over the last 15 years. They won gold in 2006, 2010 and in 2018 while finishing second in 2014. It shouldn't be too surprising to find them atop the curling betting odds.

Beijing 2022 - Women's Curling Odds

  • Sweden (W) +300
  • Canada (W) +325
  • Great Britain (W) +350
  • Switzerland (W) +700
  • USA (W) +1000
  • Japan (W) +1200
  • Russian Olympic Committee (W) +1400
  • South Korea (W) +1400
  • China (W) +4000
  • Denmark (W) +4000

The only team that's been even as nearly as consistent as Sweden is Canada. They went five straight Olympic Games finishing on the podium from 1998-2014 before finishing sixth last time around.

Even Great Britain, despite being just behind on the odds board, has just one gold medal and one bronze medal over the years.

Sweden at +300 seems like an easy bet to make.

  • The Russian Olympic Committee has +150 odds to win the gold medal.

  • Canada (+600) and the USA (+1000) saw their odds fall.

BEIJING - The Olympic hockey odds have undergone some serious changes over the last month due to the changing rules of the tournament.

How The Odds Have Changed

It was originally reported that NHL players would be allowed to compete in the games as the league was willing to suspend the season to allow the athletes to travel. However, that has since been scratched which means the Olympics will go on without any NHL players. This left the Olympic betting odds in a state of change.

Beijing 2022 - Men's Hockey Odds

  • Russian Olympic Committee +150
  • Finland +400
  • Sweden +450
  • Canada +600
  • Czech Republic +800
  • USA +1000
  • Germany +1600
  • Switzerland +2500
  • Slovakia +5000
  • Latvia +6600
  • Denmark +8000
  • China +100000

When NHL players were expected to go, Canada, the United States and the Russian Olympic Committee were the three favorites, without the athletes, that is no longer the case.

Russia has seemed to benefit the most as they are home to the KHL, thought to be the best professional hockey league aside from the NHL. It's why Russia won gold in 2018.

Is The USA Worth Betting On?

Although the United States has seen some success over the years in the Olympics for hockey, this doesn't seem to be their year. With none of the top athletes available, their recently announced roster   just seems to fall short in talent in comparison to the field.

Those looking to bet on Olympic hockey may be better off siding with Canada, Finland or Sweden if trying to beat the favorites.

  • Canada has +150 odds as the betting favorites to win the gold medal in the upcoming Olympics.

  • Sweden (+650) and the United States (+650) are the only other countries with odds short of +1000

BEIJING - The Olympics are closer than many realize and one of the main events will be Ice Hockey where Canada is favored to win the gold medal.

Canada As The Favorite

Canada has won the gold medal in three of the last five Olympics, earning bronze in one of those years as well. Given their consistency and clear elite-level talent, it’s not too surprising to find them atop the odds boards on Olympic betting sites.

Beijing 2022 Odds - Men's Hockey

  • Canada +150
  • Russian Olympic Committee +350
  • Sweden +650
  • USA +650
  • Finland +1000
  • Czech Republic +1600
  • Germany +3300
  • Switzerland +3300
  • Slovakia +8000
  • Latvia +12500

Canada has the most gold medals (9), the most overall medals (16) and can be confidently bet on as one of the favorites. A quick look at Canada’s roster and it’s easy to see why they’re the favorites.

Can Any Country Other Than Russia Compete?

In the history of ice hockey in the Olympics, besides Canada, Russia has been the best team. Now competing under the Russian Olympic Committee moniker, Russia has combined for eight gold medals and 12 total medals, both good for second-most of all-time.

As to be expected, those betting on Olympic ice hockey can find Russia as the biggest threat to Canada as their roster is filled with some of the NHL’s biggest stars.

Aside from Russia and Canada, Sweden and the United States are next on the list as the top competitors. However, neither may be worth betting on to win the gold medal. The United States has only won two gold medals and an astounding eight silver medals.

The USA hasn’t won since 1980 and likely won’t this time around, but does have the talent to make a decent run at a bronze or silver medal. Sweden has come in first or second in two of the last four Olympics and may be the better pick.

At the end of the day, The Russian Olympic Committee and Canada seem to clearly be the two best countries in the world.
