WWE Survivor Series Gameday Betting Guide with Final Odds

These odds are courtesy of 5Dimes, a sports book accepting customers worldwide.

While there haven’t been any substantial changes with the Survivor Series betting odds in terms of projected results, we are still able to analyze the data fluctuations and in some cases the lack thereof. Those that were graded to win tonight are still favored, however on a match-by-match, by-the-odds basis we are able to identify whose favorable odds have increased, decreased and have gone completely unchanged.

Those that have seem their odds increase significantly include United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura, Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy and the Men’s Team Raw Survivor Series Team. Ronda Rousey has also saw her odds increase slightly, but not nearly to the degree of the competitors named in the previous sentence.

There are also two sports book favorites that, while still projected to win, have seen their odds decrease a bit. These include the Raw Tag Team Champions The Authors of Pain and the Smackdown Women’s Survivor Series Team.

Two matches have not seen any change whatsoever in the odds as Universal Champion Brock Lesnar has the exact same odds to defeat newly crowned WWE Champion Daniel Bryan and the same for the Smackdown Tag Team Survivor Series group.

For those unfamiliar with reading the betting odds, a minus sign represents the favorite, while the plus sign indicates the underdog. The size of the corresponding number tells us how favored or unfavorable the wrestler(s) happen to be at a given time, although odds do fluctuate and even reverse altogether. All matches listed below are under “end of broadcast” grading, meaning the final result in the event of a match being restarted or having the decision reversed.

One WWE Brand is Favored More than the Other as Raw and Smackdown Tangle at Survivor Series

These odds are courtesy of 5Dimes, a sports book accepting customers worldwide.

The oddsmakers have set Vegas Styles lines for WWE Survivor Series, an event that features Inter-Brand Play between Raw and Smackdown. Out of eight matches, Raw is favored in five of them, leaving Smackdown projected as winning only three matches. While WWE touts both brands as being equal, the company has also been criticized for showing favoritism to Raw as the flagship show.

Recent trends continue with Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey being the most favored overall on the card, and thus far she has been unstoppable so these odds are sensible. Universal Champion Brock Lesnar has impressive odds to defeat newly crowned WWE Champion Daniel Bryan in a match that had been planned years ago, but scrapped due to injuries suffered by Bryan.

Four hard-hitting bruisers meet in tag team competition when Raw Tag Champs, The Authors of Pain take on Smackdown Tag Champs Sheamus & Cesaro. The younger AoP is favored to capture victory for the Raw Brand. Elsewhere on the card, United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura is the favorite against Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins.

For those unfamiliar with reading the betting odds, a minus sign represents the favorite, while the plus sign indicates the underdog. The size of the corresponding number tells us how favored or unfavorable the wrestler(s) happen to be at a given time, although odds do fluctuate and even reverse altogether. All matches listed below are under “end of broadcast” grading, meaning the final result in the event of a match being restarted or having the decision reversed.

These odds are courtesy of 5Dimes, a sports book accepting customers worldwide.

The very first Women’s exclusive PPV will be held this Sunday, October 28 on the WWE Network and traditional PPV. The event is named WWE Evolution and represents the progress made by female athletes in the WWE, especially over the past few years since the “Diva’s Revolution”.Eight matches have been announced and half of those have betting odds set.

How the odds work are simple to understand. A minus sign indicates the favorite(s), with the corresponding number representing how favored that wrestler(s) is/are. A plus sign is assigned to the underdog(s), with the corresponding number telling us how much of an underdog the performer(s) actually is/are.

Ronda Rousey is heavily favored at -900 to successfully defend the Raw Women’s Championship against Nikki Bella and these are the most favorable odds of any participant of Evolution. The Smackdown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch also favored to successfully defend with close odds of -165, not nearly as favorable as Rousey’s. Lynch will be defending against Charlotte Flair in a Last Woman Standing Match to continue the series.

Hall of Famers return when Trish Stratus & Lita take on Alexa Bliss & Mickie James. Trish and Lita are favored at -390 to overcome today’s regularly featured talent.

The Historic Women’s Battle Royal see both Asuka and Ember Moon with odds of +300, the most favorable of the field. Nia Jax and Naomi each have odds of +475 and Carmella has odds of +700. There are many more entrants to this battle royal than the odds presently list, including current talents like Alicia Fox, Sonya Deville and Lana as well returning Hall of Famers and Legends such as Alundra Blayze, Molly Holly and Michelle McCool.

Who is Favored to Win WWE Crown Jewel, 18 Possible World Cup Winners

These Odds are courtesy of Grosvenor, a sportsbook in the UK, available only to players in select nations.

WWE Crown Jewel will be taking place on November 2 in Saudi Arabia at the King Saud University Stadium and can be watched on the WWE Network. Betting Odds are now live and are listed below along with our deep expert analysis.

The most favorable odds at -455 is Roman Reigns successfully defending the Universal Championship against both Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar in a Triple Threat Match. Strowman actually has much better odds than Lesnar to walk away champion. In the WWE Championship match, AJ Styles is favored to have a successful title defense against former champion Daniel Bryan.

The World Cup itself has odds for not only the already qualified participants, but also wrestlers that could potentially qualify leading up to the tournament. So far John Cena, Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton have qualified, with 4 remaining spots to be filled in the coming weeks. Because there is a large number of possible winners, every possibility is graded as an underdog. The most favored is John Cena at -200, which would still pay out double the wager upon a win. A full list of odds with 18 possible World Cup winners is available below.

After an 8 year hiatus, Shawn Michaels is is returning to reform DX with Triple H and they are favored at -200 to defeat Undertaker and Kane. These are considered close odds, especially with this being HBK’s return match, but another factor to be taken into consideration is that Triple H picked up a big win over the Undertaker at Super Showdown in Australia. It would be a seemingly impossible feat for The Undertaker to suffer back to back losses in this stage of his career. There is also a prop bet for what participants will be involved with the actual finish of the match. Shawn Michaels is favored at -177 to capture the fall for his team and it’s Kane with odds of -177 to be the responsible party for his team’s loss.

WWE Championship Match
AJ Styles(c) -295 vs Daniel Bryan +200

WWE Universal Championship – Triple Threat Match
Roman Reigns(c) -455 vs Braun Strowman +375 vs Brock Lesnar +600

D-Generation X -200 vs The Brothers of Destruction +140

Should Shawn Michaels Stay Retired? (VIDEO)

Recent events have caused rumblings as to whether The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels will finally give us one more match after being retired by The Undertaker way back at Wrestlemania 26. In the latest contribution to BetWrestling.com, Wrestling With things cover this topic and as usual a raucous debate ensues between David Joseph and Sammy Joseph with Eleno Cuevas struggling to get a word in edgewise.

Sammy is immediately burying the idea of an HBK comeback match, citing his age of 54 and stating that this wouldn’t be “Our Shawn” with the athleticism of younger days and therefore unable to deliver a “classic”. David interjects that although Sammy had a good point and that the retirement match with The Taker was the perfect cap off, Shawn is a ring general with great in ring psychology and storytelling skills. David is interested in a Degeneration X vs Brother of Destruction Match.

The three then get into Michaels’ current role at the Wwe Performance center and they all speculate if Shawn still takes bumps in the ring, being “known for his bad back”. Sammy punctuates his thoughts with a sign off of “Stay Home!”, directed at HBK.

Game Day Betting Guide for WWE Hell in a Cell 2018

These odds are courtesy of 5Dimes, a sports book accepting customers worldwide.

The current betting odds for WWE Hell in a Cell on the WWE Network haven’t moved much at all since initially being set weeks ago. We are looking at a situation where all defending champions are favored to retain successfully, and none more favored than Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey with astronomical odds by today’s standards of -1050. To put this in perspective, the next most favored are The New Day at -400, who are defending the Smackdown Tag Team Championships against Rusev Day on the pre-show.

Roman Reigns is favored at -380 in his first PPV title defense as Universal Championship against longtime nemesis Braun Strowman in a Hell in a Cell. WWE Champion AJ Styles has good odds of -300 to topple Samoa Joe once again. The Smackdown Brand’s Hell in a Cell offering sees Randy Orton favored at -365 in a “blood feud” blowoff match against Jeff Hardy.

Smackdown Women’s Champion Charlotte is favored at only -170 against Becky Lynch in a match not only for the title, but also to settle issues of mutual betrayal. Two married couples will compete in a mixed-tag match seeing the tandem of Daniel Bryan & Brie Bella favored at -300 against The Miz & Maryse.

One match is not offering “end of broadcast” odds as of press time so for now it’s initial odds only. We do not know if this is simply a sports book oversight or if there is some other explanation. This match is the Raw Tag Team Championship bout, where Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre are slightly favored at -145 against Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins. If this match does end up having a “Dusty Finish” of any kind, we should probably take that as an indication that some type of leak or inside betting has happened.

Universal Championship – Hell in a Cell(end of broadcast ruling)
Roman Reigns(c) -380 vs Braun Strowman +260
