Team USA Shocks Canada For Gold + Gambling Twitter Drama Reignites | Presented by Kalshi

Team USA shocks Canada in the men’s hockey gold medal game and we break down everything — the biggest moments, the coaching decisions, the betting market movement before puck drop, and how the result impacted bettors on both sides. We react to the game itself, the pregame narratives that didn’t hold up, and what this outcome says about the USA vs Canada rivalry going forward. Plus, we dive into the stat making the rounds that 57% of bettors are female — what it actually means, how it’s being interpreted, and whether gambling media is telling the story correctly. And of course, Gambling Twitter drama is back. We unpack the latest beef, subtweets, and industry shots that have reignited timelines this week.

Circle Back is hosted by Jacob Gramegna and features professional sports bettor and CEO of The Hammer, Rob Pizzola, basketball originator Kirk Evans, and sophisticated square Geoff Fienberg. The crew reacts to the biggest stories in sports betting, gambling media, and the broader betting industry every week on Circles Off, part of The Hammer Betting Network.

📅 New episodes of Circle Back every Monday at 1pm ET and Friday at 8am ET. Plus, watch for additional content every Wednesday, ranging from interviews with industry experts to instructional videos!
