No Smart Money Odds Means No Spoilers for WWE Elimination Chamber
WWE Elimination Chamber begins in a few hours on the WWE Network and it’s safe to say by looking at the current betting lines that the “smart money odds” have not happened yet. There have been organic line moves, but nothing indicating that finishes have leaked. We cannot consider these spoilers, but rather evidence of the predictable nature of WWE booking. We also can’t rule out anomalies to usual booking patterns leading to one or more sports book upsets tonight.
Roman Still Favored in Men’s Elimination Chamber
The Men’s Elimination Chamber is for a shot at Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship at Wrestlemania and Roman Reigns has been favored from the beginning to earn this opportunity. This is greatly fueled by the the assumption that Lesnar vs Reigns will main event Wrestlemania in April. Reigns was at -600 when the global odds were released and have risen only slightly to -650 since then. With Reigns considered a lock, these odds should be much higher at no less than -1000 by now, irregardless of there being no apparent leaks on this match outside of long standing Wrestlemania rumors.
It’s worth noting that at one point Roman’s odds dropped to -420 before stabilizing, so his odds didn’t necessarily move in just one direction. News of Reigns being implicated in a steroid ring has created seeds of doubt that he’s definitely winning this match. Bets against Reigns, as in anyone but Roman winning, are also available at +420. Since the initial odds have been posted, every other competitor has seen their odds drop from the original lines.
Braun Strowman, who had odds of +400 have dropped to +800, cutting his projected chances in half. Still, Strowman is the second most favored after Reigns to win the Chamber match. Seth Rollins, originally at +600 is now at +1100, even after a career highlight on Monday’s Raw Gauntlet match where he not only wrestled for over an hour(a Raw record), but scored victories over both Roman Reigns and John Cena in the process.
Speaking of Cena, while his odds have dropped from +2000 to +3500, his chances of winning have eclipsed that of Finn Balor who was at +1700 initially but is now at +4000. In addition, Elias going from +4300 to +8500 overtook The Miz’s chances, who was at +3500 but now is a dreadful +125000. The Miz being least likely to win tonight is no shock with the rumors of him defending the Intercontinental Championship at Wrestlemania.
