Sports Interaction has odds up. Currently has the Wild Card at +500. (Doesn't matter if Chealsea Carey or Kerri Einarson wins Friday night.)

The new format means that the winner of the Wild Card (top two non-qualifying points teams during the cash speil circuit) will be automatically seeded 4th. They play Jennifer Jones once during group play.

During the next round, they avoid Jones and only play the top four teams from the other group. Those are projected to Alberta (rookie team), Canada (last year's runner up to Homan), Ontario (rookie team with middling record against middling teams) and BC (hometown team in their 2nd Scotties).

Good chance that Wild Card team wins enough to make the Page Playoff 1 vs. 2 game against Jones. Then it's a coin flip as both teams have beaten top talent all year (though to be fair, Einarson is 0-16 against Jones all time).

Either way, good path to the final playoff. 5 to 1 odds. That's a value bet any day.

- +600? That would be better value. Now paying 6 to 1. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jan 23, 11:54 4
  - yep. (again, i won't do it, but it seems like a good bet.) -- nm* - Andie Jan 23, 11:54 3
    - The local curling beat reporter and I spent twenty minutes talking about this at lunch. She believes Jones wins, but likes this bet too. - Name Withheld by Request Jan 23, 11:57 2
      - I kind of know what some of this means. I think I'm ready for the Canadian citizenship exam. -- nm - David Jan 23, 12:09 1
        
        Let's face it, this entire thread was crash-bait. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jan 23, 12:24
