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.

WWE News and Rumors July 5, 2017

John Cena Teams Up with Shinsuke Nakamura

After the 205 Live broadcast Tuesday night, the dark match for the live audience saw the team Of John Cena and Shinsuke Nakamura vs Rusev and Baron Corbin. While Nakamura vs Corbin has not yet been officially announced for Battleground, with the recent interactions between the two men this match seems to be inevitable. Both are currently being groomed to be top stars on the Smackdown roster and this match will be of extreme importance to both.

New WWE Network Collections

The WWE Network has added some exciting new choices in its “collections” section. Hall of Famer Razor Ramon has his own collections that are worth checking out. Another new addition is one that is going to get an insane amount of watch time because it is Piper’s Pit. Over 30 years arguable the number one talker in wrestling history is now available on the WWE Network.

Okada Backstage at RAW

After the New Japan G1 in California, IWGP Champion Kazuchika Okada headed to Pheonix to visit Finn Balor at WWE RAW. Of course this drew speculation that Okada was in talks to join the WWE, but as mentioned he was simply visiting Balor. This has not been the first time Okada had appeared backstage at WWE as he was also at SummerSlam as a guest of Shinsuke Nakamura.

Kofi’s Massive Screw Up on Live Television

During the Smackdown Rap Battle between The New Day and The Usos, Kofi Kingston seriously botched a line concerning geometry. Kofi referred to a stop sign as a hexagon when the shape is actually an octagon. Kingston posted a video on Instagram mocking himself for the mistake, even editing in a photo of a New Day action figure set that included a stop sign.

 Another Tag Team Splitting Up?

During the Battle Royal on Smackdown, Mojo Rawley eliminated his tag team partner Zack Ryder. Many feel this will lead to the team splitting but it seems very difficult which would be doing the heel turn. Mojo is the aggressor, but his actions were appropriate given the “every man for himself” nature of a Battle Royal.  For what it’s worth, The Hype Bros were never intended to be a long-running tag team. It has certainly been an effective tactic in integrating Mojo to the main roster.

Who is Favored to Win at WWE Roadblock 2016?

The odds for Roadblock has now been set by 5Dimes and this is the latest we’ve ever had to wait for lines to a PPV. Currently Roman Reigns, Sasha Banks, Rich Swann,The team of Cesaro and Sheamus, Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins and Rusev are favored as winners.Within a few hours of the lies being set, The Universal Championship match flipped completely, originally considering Roman Reigns an underdog. A possible reason for this could be players putting a disproportional amount of money of Roman, leading to the change in lines creating a “balanced book”. Also, The women’s match was originally in a dead heat with both Sasha and Charlotte both being listed as slight underdogs, but now Sasha is heavily favored.

A quick education in how to read the “money lines” is as simple as understanding the minus sign represents the favorite and the plus sign indicating the underdog. Based on the lines listed here a $100 bet on Owens at +180 would win $180, but it would take a $260 bet on Roman to win only $100 since he is as favored as he is. All of the lines here fall under “end of broadcast” ruling meaning if the initial finish is overruled or a match is restarted, the final result is the one recognized by sportsbooks. This accounts for “Dusty Finishes”.

WWE Universal Championship
Kevin Owens(c) +180 vs Roman Reigns -260

WWE Women’s Championship
Sasha Banks(c) -540 vs Charlotte Flair +360

WWE Cruiserweight Championship Triple Threat Match
Rich Swann(c) -350 vs Field(Both TJ Perkins and Brian Kendrick) +250

WWE Tag Team Championship
The New Day(c) +135 vs Cesaro & Sheamus -175

10 Minute Time Limit
Sami Zayn +130 vs Braun Strowman -170

Seth Rollins  -400 vs Chris Jericho +280

Big Cass +205 vs Rusev -285

Lines are constantly changing, sometimes in dramatic fashion and can be followed at 5Dimes.

WWE Hell in a Cell 2016 Betting Odds

The official betting odds from 5Dimes have been set for this Sunday’s WWE Hell in a Cell on the WWE Network.  All of these matches lines include the standard end of broadcast ruling provision, meaning that if a match is reversed up until the point Hell in a Cell ends, the sportsbook judges the outcome on the final decision. This accounts for “Dusty finishes”.

To understand the lines and how they work, it is actually very simple. A – symbol  indicates who is favored to win, while a + symbol identifies the underdog. The numbers following tell us how much the wrestler(s) is favored or unfavored. Looking at the US Championship match Roman Reigns at -1500 is favored heavily, so it would be a $1500 wager to win only $100. The underdog here is Rusev at +700 meaning a successful $100 bet would win $700.

Clash of Champions Betting Odds are Finally Here!

5Dimes has finally set the lines for Sunday’s Clash of Champions. The lines changed very quickly from the initial setting.

 

WWE Universal Championship

Kevin Owens -1050 vs Seth Rollins +550

No surprise here with Owens just winning the title recently and taking a loss to Roman Reigns in a cage match on the go home edition of RAW. Typically a loss on the go home show almost always leads to a victory on the PPV events. Still, Rollins at +550 is tempting as even though he went to a draw with Rusev on RAW, he is considered to have gotten the better off Rusev by jumping of of the announce table onto Rusev. Also, as always, a Rollins win does not necessarily mean a title change with the possibility of a DQ or count out loss, although that would be unlikely with this match likely to go on last.

 

WWE United States Championship

Rusev +480 vs Roman Reigns -840

Surprising that Roman is favored here with him winning the cage match Monday and with Rusev appearing weaker in his match with Seth Rollins on RAW.

 

WWE Tag Team Championships

The New Day +330 vs Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson -490

The New Day’s long title reign is probably ending this Sunday and it makes sense as Gallows and Anderson need to get the titles to stay relevant.

 

WWE Women’s Championship Triple Threat Match

Charlotte -390 vs Sasha Banks +270 vs Bayley +270 (Sasha Banks and Bayley are considered in the “field”, meaning a wager placed against Charlotte includes either woman at +270)

This is tough to call and while it’s tempting to take the field and get two underdogs for the price of one, expect the cunning Charlotte to play Sasha and Bayley against each other and squeak out a victory while everyone involved is not weakened in the least.

 

WWE Cruiserweight Championship

T.J. Perkins -930 vs Brian Kendrick +510

T.J. Is heavily favored here and Kendrick is probably only in this match because he is a familiar face within the WWE history that can lend that credibility to the new cruiserweight division and champion.

 

Alicia Fox +850 vs Nia Jax -1750

No secret that Nia is being built into a monster so the lines aren’t shocking. Still, with Alicia being knocked unconcious and left laying by Nia gives a sliver of hope that she could make things interesting by pulling off a fluke here


Best of 7 Finals

Cesaro +185 vs Sheamus -265

The thought here is that Cesaro isn’t in the favor of management and that Sheamus is too valuable to lose this based on how much he gets paid as a downside guarentee.

 

Sami Zayn -560 vs Chris Jericho +370

These odds make total sense but Jericho has become one of those rare performers that pull off unexpected wins like he did at Wrestlemania 32 against AJ Styles.

These lines can be followed at 5Dimes and all of the above lines are under the “end of broadcast ruling” clause, meaning if the result is reversed before the ending of the PPV then that is the result 5Dimes recognizes.

Here is an idea of what better $1 on everyone would make on a win.
