5Dimes Publishes WWE Battleground 2014 Betting Odds

The 5Dimes Casino & Sportsbook has finally published lines for tomorrow night's World Wrestling Entertainment Battleground 2014 pay-per-view.

Here's how they opened.

Naomi is a -750 (1.13 EU, 2/15 UK) favourite to defeat Cameron in the match that will air before the pay-per-view begins. The heel in the match-up has been ranked as a +450 (5.50 EU, 9/2 UK) outsider.

For the first time in his short WWE career, Rusev is an underdog when he takes on Jack Swagger in one of the bouts on the main card.

Rusev is currently available at +400 (5.00 EU, 4/1 UK), with his foe marked as a -600 (1/6 UK) fave.

The returning Chris Jericho is a +600 (7.00 EU. 6/1 UK) underdog in his battle against Bray Wyatt. The leader of the Wyatt Family is available at -1200 (1/12 UK).

5Dimes expects Dean Ambrose to defeat Seth Rollins in the battle against former Shield members. Ambrose is -190 (1.53 EU, 10/19 UK) with Rollins +150 (2.50 EU, 3/2 UK).

Current Divas Champion, AJ Lee is -1500 (1/15 UK) to win and retain her title against former champ, Paige. Bettors looking to wager on Paige can find her at +700 (8.00 EU, 7/1 UK).

As of right now, the sportsbook is only taking action on whether or not Cesaro wins the battle royal to determine a new WWE Intercontinental champion.

The King of Swing is -170 (1.59 EU, 10/17 UK) to overcome The Field, who have been priced at +130 (2.30 EU, 13/10 UK).

There are two markets open for the WWE Tag Team Championship match. Fans can wager on which team they believe will win the match as well as guessing the tandem that will win the initial fall in this best out of three fall encounter.

The Wyatts, who were favoured against the duo last time find themselves once again playing the role of chalk. They have opened at -400 (1.25 EU, 1/4 UK) with The Usos +280 (3.80 EU, 14/5 UK).

Both The Usos and The Wyatts are -120 (1.83 EU, 5/6 UK) in the prop bet where customers can wager on the first fall outcome.

John Cena goes up against 'The Field' in the main event market.

Cena, who is expected to win the bout and then go on to defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam next month, has been priced at -2000 (1/20 UK) with his three opponents - Roman Reigns, Randy Orton and Kane - bunched together at +1000 (11.00 EU, 10/1 UK).

Going by 5Dimes' previous track record in pricing up bouts with more than two opponents, I would not be surprised if individual prices for both the battle royal and main event are released later this weekend.

Odds correct as of 5:30pm BST. 

5Dimes' WWE match odds can be found under 'Wrestling' on the betting board over at 5Dimes.com.

  1. Hey guys. Who do you think will be the winner of the Rusev v Swagger match? Given the sensitive situation with Putin and Russia, do you think that it would be politically correct to allow Swagger to pick up the victory?

    1. Good question.

      If I were them, I'd just tone down the Putin stuff and stick to what the original plan was.

  2. I think Rusev will win also. I managed to get 7/2 with Paddy Power. He's 1/6 now so I'm quietly confident he will win. He has been built up for months and shouldn't be losing to the likes of Swagger regardless of what's happening in the world.

  3. I see Rusev losing this time round and then winning at Summerslam.....I don't see wwe starting a new story with Rusev till after Summerslam and he has to lose sometime soon because lets be honest he isn't going to be involved with any of the top stars especially with Bryan out so this is the time for Rusev to get his first loss and then avenge it as Summerslam....plus Swagger got a lot of attention at the moment and USA always come out on top at one point!!!

  4. I think that Swagger will get the win as well, and Rusev will be in full monster mode for summerslam!
