Betfair Publishes A Huge Amount Of WWE Royal Rumble 2015 Betting Markets

Customers of the Betfair Sportsbook can now wager on this Sunday's WWE Royal Rumble after the company published betting odds for the event earlier today.

The sportsbook is not only accepting punts on the matches scheduled to take place on the night. There are numerous prop bets available.

The Match Markets

The Usos have been chalked up as 1/4 favourites to win and retain the WWE World Tag Team Championships against the duo of The Miz & Damien Mizdow (5/2).

The Bellas are 11/8 outsiders to Paige & Natalya (8/15).

The Ascension are strong 1/7 shots for their battle against The New Age Outlaws (4/1).

The New Day have been written up as 1/4 faves in the pre-show fixture against Tyson Kidd, Cesaro & Adam Rose (5/2).

Brock Lesnar is 4/9 to successfully retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the triple threat match for his title. John Cena has been chalked up with a 6/4 price while Seth Rollins has been listed at 15/2.

The company has also published odds for the 30-man battle royal. A whole host of names have been listed. However, the top of the list sees Roman Reigns as a 4/9 favourite with Daniel Bryan next at 7/4.

The Prop Bets

One of the reasons why I enjoy Betfair producing betting odds for WWE events is the fact the linemakers go a little further with their WWE betting coverage and offer the customer additional ways to enjoy WWE events. They have a reputation for inventing unique prop bets and have done so for this weekend's event.

Here's what they have:

How Many RKOs will be delivered on the night?

With Randy Orton rumoured to be returning imminently, the sportsbook has set up a prop bet where customers can bet over or under how many times an RKO will be executed during the PPV. 
Punters can bet on under 2.5 at a price of EVENS or over at 8/13.

Longest time spent in the ring by a single wrestler? (Two-way)

Here the sportsbook is taking wagers on the length of time the wrestler with the longest amount in the Rumble match will last. 
The options are:
Over 49.5 minutes 5/6
Under 49.5 minutes 5/6

Longest time spent in the ring by a single wrestler? (Three-way)

This is similar to the prop bet above, but it has a third middle option for the bettor. They are:

Under 48 minutes 20/23
Between 48 and 51 minutes 13/2
Over 51 minutes 20/23

Most Eliminations

The sportsbook has listed a number of wrestlers and have given them odds on scoring the most eliminations in the battle royal. The current favourite is Roman Reigns with 11/8. Next on the list is Rusev at 7/4 all the way down to Hornswoggle who has 150/1.

Roman Reigns to eliminate 8 or more?

Simply put, you're betting on whether Roman Reigns will eliminate 8 or more or not.
Yes, he will eliminate 8 or more 5/6
No, he will not eliminate 8 or more 5/6

All of Betfair's WWE Royal Rumble 2015 markets are found in the Special Bets section of the Betfair Sportsbook. Once you are on the page, you'll need to click on 'USA' and the markets will appear. If you are new to the sportsbook, you can take advantage of the welcome offer in the banner below.
