Wrestlemania 27 Odds...yes I said Wrestlemania 27!

[Choppa]

Tremendous, bodog is offering markets on each match at Monday's Wrestlemania 27. Nothing like betting on fixed matches imo...then again, probably not much different to boxing anyway!!! Being a squared circle fan from way back, let's take a look at the main match-ups (odds converted from American markets to the decimal system)...


Undertaker $1.08
Triple H $7.00
Just get on the Undertaker to extend his so-called 'streak' to 19-0 at the $1.08 price against Triple H - dead set money for jam.

The Miz $2.60
John Cena $1.43
I can see arguments both ways, avoid.

Alberto del Rio $1.20
Edge $4.50
del Rio is flavour of the month, but I wouldn't take him at the $1.20 quote.

Jerry 'The King' Lawler $1.06
Michael Cole $8.50
Anything other than a Lawler win would not pay off the angle/story developed.

Sheamus $1.39
Daniel Byran $2.85
The fighting Irish has just been given the US Championship, and they are trying to re-establish him as a top level player, no need for him to lose here.

Randy Orton $1.35
CM Punk $3.05
Early booking in this was all one way for Orton., but the last couple of weeks has had the tide turn. As a result, I now expect Orton to be given the W. Otherwise, I would have had Punk at value at the $3.05 mark.

Cody Rhodes $1.62
Rey Mysterio $2.30
Rhodes is out for 'revenge' for a 'broken nose' caused by Mysterio, but since his return the story has been one-sided in Rhodes' favour. Mysterio in a minor upset.

This has to be a level right? surely its illegal to even offer odds on a pre-determined outcome

I dunno mate, they offer odds on stuff like the Academy awards, Grammys, ARIA's and the like - that's all predetermined too (think about it, these awards are all voted by committees, wrestling matches are pretty much determined the same way)! I believe though it is illegal in Australia (but don't quote me on that).

I thought it was a level when I first saw it, but it made me laugh regardless.

I believe though that liabilities are limited - bet sizes are limited.

+ 1

This is an awesome find though; thanks for this. Undertaker is a certainty obviously.. Sheamus will win also.

Looking forward to the Rhodes/Mysterio match - could be a sleeper match of the night

this has to be the weakest wrestlemania card in a while tho

this has to be the weakest WWE roster in a while tho

FYP

The main event isn't even relevant. The crowd will sit on their hands for twenty minutes until The Rock comes out to do something..

[Choppa]

Agree this is not one of the strongest Wrestlemania cards - hence why the Rock and Austin have been brought back into the fold (if only short-term); but it's the best they have, and there should still be some good matches.
