Where To Bet On WrestleMania XXX

WrestleMania XXX will take place on April 6th from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana and here's a monthly look at the online sportsbooks where you will more than likely find betting odds for WWE pay-per-views.

It's worth noting that, as WrestleMania is the biggest event on World Wrestling Entertainment's calendar, there may be more gambling websites offering betting opportunities on the show. I'll be keeping an eye out and will update the blog as and when I notice them. Add this site to your favourites and be sure to come back during WrestleMania week where I will offer full coverage of the betting action in the days, and hours, leading up to the show.

The 5Dimes Sportsbook & Casino

The 5Dimes Sportsbook & Casino is the go-to place for many customers looking to wager on World Wrestling Entertainment pay-per-views. The firm has offered betting odds on events for many years. It is very rare for them not to be the first website to open a book each month.

One of the things that attracts people to 5Dimes is the fact that it's possible to wager on the event as the PPV is airing live. All other websites take down their prices as soon as each event is about to start so 5Dimes accommodates to those looking to place wagers in the eleventh hour.

UPDATE - WrestleMania betting odds are now up at 5Dimes.

New customers can join via 5Dimes.com or 5Dimes.eu

Paddy Power

The Irish sports betting company Paddy Power has been promoting WWE pay-per-view betting for many years via the 'Sports Novelties' section of PaddyPower.com

Paddy Power offers unique wagering opportunities to its customers and wrestling-themed specials show up on the week before every show. There have been occasions where the company promotes other wrestling-based novelty markets. For instance, a few weeks ago - a book was opened concerning Vince McMahon and his involvement with Newcastle United.

Another point worth noting is that Paddy Power is the only firm in this part of the world that tends to offer prop bets. The company accepted wagers on the person who would cause the most eliminations at the Royal Rumble and - in the recent Elimination Chamber betting period - punters could gamble on the first and last person eliminated from the main event cage match.

UPDATE - WrestleMania betting markets have now been published on the Paddy Power website.

You can find them on Paddy Power's WWE Betting Page.

Sky Bet

Sky Bet is another betting company based over here that has been opening up wrestling PPV markets for quite a while.

Odds are posted in the week leading up to each pay-per-view event and are easy to find on the website. They can be accessed under 'Wrestling' of the A-Z menu of the sportsbook at SkyBet.com.



YouWin & UWin

YouWin and its Canadian-facing patner, UWin have opened books on some of the most recent World Wrestling Entertainment pay-per-views but did not for the most recent Elimination Chamber show.

I was told by one of their customer service representatives that Elimination Chamber markets were set to go live on the Saturday evening before the show but this did not come to pass. I expect this may have been something to do with the odds at all other sportsbooks being extremely short (or high depending on what side you took) and they realised it wasn't worth opening the book for a month.

I expect both YouWin and UWin to have WrestleMania betting as it is a perfect opportunity for them to attract new clients.

Customers based in Canada can join UWin by going to UWin.com

People living in countries that are not restricted by YouWin can join via YouWin.com



William Hill

William Hill is one of, if not the, oldest sports betting brands around. The company has offered markets on World Wrestling Entertainment events for many years. However, there were no odds posted for Elimination Chamber nor were there prices posted for Tables, Ladders & Chairs in December of 2013.

The fact that the company did have a Royal Rumble market makes me optimistic that a WrestleMania book will be available in the days before the show.

If they are up, you will find them under 'TV/Specials' of the Sports menu at WilliamHill.com



Coral

Coral is another bookmaking company with a rich history dating back to the mid 1920's. 

The firm only offers WWE betting for the big WWE shows. The last offering was for the Royal Rumble and, before that, SummerSlam. Like I have noted earlier, if they opened books on the Rumble and SummerSlam, I would be very surprised if they decided not to open a book for WrestleMania.

If available, WrestleMania lines will be found in the Non-Sports A-Z menu of the Sportsbook.

New customer offers can be found on the welcome page of Coral.co.uk


BetFred 

The Manchester-based betting company, BetFred, last offered wagering on WWE events with the Royal Rumble.

If the traders decide to open a market for WrestleMania, the odds will be found under 'TV Shows / Specials' of the Sportsbook menu on Betfred's Website.



Bovada 

Bovada has opened WrestleMania betting markets in the past so it may be worth checking this company out nearer to the time.

Bodog

The Canadian bookmaker, Bodog, have published WrestleMania lines in the past.

The sports betting exchange, Betfair, have WrestleMania betting markets at Betfair.com.

The conpany also have special proposition bets where you can wager on things like 'Will CM Punk show up?'and  'How many times will Hulk Hogan say Brother?'

WrestleMania wagers can be found under 'USA' in the Specials menu at Betfair.com


The Rest

Other places that could potentially have betting odds for WrestleMania XXX are BoyleSports and SportingBet.


Happy wagering and enjoy the show!
