WWE Fastlane Betting Odds

The following odds are from 5 Dimes and represent the American Market. Currently Mastercard, American Express and Bitcoins are being accepted for deposits. Bets can be made for as low as 50 cent although there is never an obligation to place a wager or make a deposit to view and follow the ever changing odds. Visit 5Dimes by clicking here.

American Odds from 5Dimes are in for this Sunday’s WWE Fastlane on the WWE Network and suggest that we will see two title changes barring a DQ or Count Out of course. Goldberg is a big favorite to dethrone current Universal Champion Kevin Owens. An even bigger favorite in Charlotte Flair to defeat Raw Women’s Champion Bayley as Charlotte is undefeated on PPV and the rumors indicate that this streak will not end until Wrestlemania 33.

Both the Raw Tag Champs Anderson and Gallows as well as Cruiserweight Champion Neville are favored to win their matches and retain those championships.

Roman Reigns is slightly favored to beat Braun Strowman and as a side note Irish sports book Paddy Power has a prop bet at 1/2(-200) that the Undertaker will appear at ringside for this match. This would further build to the rumored Mania match between Roman and Taker. The 1/2 odds mean a $2 bet would yield $1 or in other words Taker is favored to show up and get involved in the match.

Other matches see Samoa Joe heavily favored to beat Sami Zayn, and is fact the most favored of anyone to win at Fastlane. Sasha Banks is slightly favored to beat Nia Jax which is puzzling considered the monster push Jax has been getting all along. Finally the team of Rich Swann and Akira Tozawa are slightly favored to beat Brian Kendrick and Noam Dar in a tag match.

A quick explanation of these odds would be that the minus indicated the favorite and the plus for the underdog. The number after the plus or minus tells us how favored or unfavored the competitors are. For example, betting $1350 on Goldberg at -1350 would only win $100 because he is so favored but it would only take a successful $100 bet on Owens at +650 to win $650 due to Kevin being the underdog. The odds are constantly changing and can be followed in real time.

WWE Universal Championship

Kevin Owens(c) +650 vs Goldberg -1350

WWE Raw Women’s Championship

Bayley(c) +850 vs Charlotte Flair -1750

Wrestlemania Favorites To Leave as Champion, How Many Titles Change Hands, Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal

The following European Market odds are from Paddy Power. Wagers are not available from all countries. Visit Paddy Power [clink id=”14″]by clicking here[/clink].

The Irish sportbook Paddy Power has had odds on who will walk out of Wrestlemania with the WWE Heavyweight and Universal Championships for over a month and there has been no major changes in Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar leaving with those titles respectively.

Odds are now also being offered on the Intercontinental, United States, both the RAW and Smackdown Women’s Championships as well as how many title changes there will be at Mania. The Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal also has odds.

Right now Bayley and Naomi, the current champions, are according to these odds expected to still be champions after the Wrestlemania is in the books. Also, Kevin Owens is favored to win the United States Championship, currently held by the man he turned on, Chris Jericho in a much anticipated and thoroughly built up match.

Baron Corbin is favored to be Intercontinental Champion, a title currently held by Dean Ambrose. Corbin has never held a title in the WWE, including during his dominant run in NXT. Braun Strowman is favored to win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal this year, which seems perfectly reasonable considering Braun has been moving up in star power more than anyone else and yet has no planned Mania match to speak of.

How many title changes will there be at Wrestlemania? Even bets are being taken at 6-7 and this seems like a high number with only 9 titles for the main roster and no confirmation on if all of them will even be defended.

The “smart money” odds are in for WWE Elimination Chamber. While all of these matches seem to have lopsided odds, Nikki Bella vs Natalya remains to have relatively close odds making this match the most difficult to predict. These projections see Bray Wyatt winning the WWE Championship and Noami defeating Smackdown Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss

These are all under “end of broadcast” rules to account for possible “Dusty Finishes.

How an 80 Cent Bet Could Win $495,330 at WWE Elimination Chamber

How could an 80 cent bet win almost $500,000. Through a parley bet on tonight’s Elimination Chamber on the WWE Network. A parlay bet is done by selecting a number of picks and betting that every one will end up winning. This is winner takes all and the choices have to be absolutely perfect of you win nothing. Parlays are the riskiest bets to make and because of this, they have the potential to be the most rewarding.

A bet of only 80 cent on 4 of the underdogs tonight parlayed together would yield upon success $495,330.40. Wagers like this one are being taken because they are so improbable. The bet attempted in the image below was originally for one dollar but the book had to lower the amount wager due to a maximum of winnings for being $500,00.

The chance of an upset is always respectable and two upsets on a PPV have happened in the past. Parlays can be made on as low as 2 matches but as many as available can be made as long it falls in the 500K payout maximum.

Major Odds Shift for WWE Elimination Chamber Matches and Full Updated Odds

The following odds are from 5 Dimes and represent the American Market. Currently Mastercard, American Express and Bitcoins are being accepted for deposits. Bets can be made for as low as 50 cent although there is never an obligation to place a wager or make a deposit to view and follow the ever changing odds. Visit 5Dimes by clicking here.

As has been the trend for the past year, the betting odds of the WWE Women’s Division are shifting for the Elimination Chamber. The Women’s matches are the ones that have been shifting compared to the Men and this Sunday’s PPV on the WWE Network is no different.

Both the Smackdown Women’s Championship match and Becky Lynch vs Mickie James have flipped completely. Based on these odds, Naomi could very well win the Smackdown Women’s championship, but keep in mind that Alexa Bliss could lose on a DQ or Count Out and still retain the title. The odds here are also very close and could potentially flip again.

Mickie James was originally favored to win her match against Becky Lynch, but that has flipped as well. It’s not uncommon for the WWE to have new or returning talents do a few jobs before pushing them. We saw it with Brock Lesnar losing to John Cena in his return match at Extreme Rules in 2012 and he went on to end the Undertaker’s streak and destroy everyone in his path with the obvious exception of Goldberg.

While it’s not exactly a flip, the odds have become more narrow in the Nikki Bella vs Natalya match. In fact, it’s very close right now and may flip altogether. Compare this to the rest of the matches where the odds widened. This is one to pay attention to

The handicap match, a Men’s match, has flipped significantly with Apollo Crews and Kalisto now significantly favored to win. This one has actually flipped a few times but never this dramatically.

Here are the new odds on the Women’s matches that shifted. These are all under “end of broadcast rules” meaning the final decision before the event ends will be how the bet is graded. This accounts for the “Dusty Finish”. A quick understanding of how to read these odds is that the minus sign represents the favorite and the plus sign indicated the underdog. The number after the plus or minus is how favored or unfavored the competitors happen to be.

WWE Women’s Championship Match

Alexa Bliss +220 vs Naomi -300

Becky Lynch -170 vs Mickie James +130

Handicap Match

Dolph Ziggler +400 vs Apollo Crews & Kalisto -600

[Updated 2/10/17 7AM]

The American odds for this Sunday’s Elimination Chamber has been posted by 5Dimes.

Right now Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton, American Alpha, Alexa Bliss, Mickie James, Dolph Ziggler and Nikki Bella are all favored to win their matches.

When Will Shinsuke Nakamura Make His Main Roster Debut?

The following European Market odds are from Paddy Power. Wagers are not available from all countries. Visit Paddy Power [clink id=”14″]by clicking here[/clink].

Shinsuke Nakamura has been absolutely tearing it up in NXT since his debut at NXT Takeover Dallas last year where he easily defeated Sami Zayn. From there he was able to beat everyone he stepped into the ring with, silencing the critics that felt he couldn’t make the transition from the Japanese Indies to NXT. The only defeat yet to be avenged in his recent loss to Bobby Roode which ended his second reign as NXT Champion.

Many feel it’s long overdue for Nakamura to move up to the main roster on Raw or Smackdown, however he was not drafted last year during the brand extension. With no NXT Championship around his waist to defend, the time is ripe and there are odds on exactly when he will appear. The most likely time will be sometime in April with odds of 1/2 and this month coincides with Wrestlemania. Even is Shinsuke does not appear at Mania, it is very likely he will show up on the main roster shortly thereafter.

Here are the odds for when exactly we’ll see Shinsuke make his main roster debut.

February 2017 6/1

March 2017 3/1

April 2017 1/2

May 2017 or later 2/1

Hulk Hogan Favored To Get in the Ring at Wrestlemania, Rey Mysterio and Kenny Omega Odds

The following European Market odds are from Paddy Power. Wagers are not available from all countries. Visit Paddy Power [clink id=”14″]by clicking here[/clink].

The Hulkster Could Return in Dramatic Fashion

Whispers of a WWE return for none other than Hulk Hogan are running wild. So much to the point that Irish sports book Paddy Power is now offering favorable odds on the Hulkster making an in ring appearance at Wrestlemania is Orlando this year. Hogan has been away from the WWE since 2015, but the company has been making frequent references to Hulk and many are perceiving the mentions as the foreshadowing of a huge return. Odds of 1/3 have been posted on if Hogan steps into the ring at Mania meaning a $3 bet would win $1 because the idea is so favorable.

This wager is only one option for the “in ring appearance” prop bet and Hulk has the only favorable odds for anyone not currently under contact. Both Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins have excellent odds at 1/10 which is puzzling due to Rollins currently being injured. There are high hopes Seth will be healthy by Wrestlemania, but these odds seem out of place given the circumstances.

Ronda Rousey’s odds are unfavorable at 3/1 as are Conor McGregor’s at 5/1. Former WWE mainstay Rey Mysterio actually has odds of 8/1 and he hasn’t been with the company in almost 2 years. Kenny Omega has odds of 10/1, about 10%, which seems high beings that he’s expected to re-sign with NJPW at any moment.
