Over the past three nights, they have been adding Extreme Rules prop bets alongside the regular match markets. In this post, I'm going to look through each prop and note where the bettors appear to be wagering.
Will All 5 Titles Be Retained?
This side was added yesterday and remains at 2/1.
Will A Referee Get Knocked Out In Any Match?
The option to bet on this scenario unfolding was put up on Friday evening. So far, the odds remain 4/5 on 'Yes' there will.
Superstar To Make An Appearance
The Betfair staff compiled a list of names and hanged out odds on the possibility that they made an appearance in some form on the Extreme Rules show. Wrestlers like Ric Flair, The Undertaker and Steve Austin were originally cast as 33/1 chances, but have drifted out to 66/1. Other names like Neville and Bray Wyatt have dropped. When I first became aware of this market, Neville was 10/1 and Wyatt was 8/1. As of 5pm BST today, Bray Wyatt is a 5/2 second-favourite with Neville close behind at 3/1. Triple H has been a short 1/8 fave from the start.
Will An RKO Be Performed In The Steel Cage Match?
This was one of two initial side bets added to Betfair's Extreme Rules coverage. The 'No' had been 13/10, but has now been re-adjusted to 6/4. The 'Yes' was 4/7, but now shortened to 1/2.
Total Number Of Tables Either Superstar To Be Put Through
This bet is for the Chicago street fight only, so you're betting on how many times either Dean Ambrose or Luke Harper is put through a table in that particular match. The traders have set the line at 2.5 tables. Therefore, you lose if you take the over and it's less than 2. You'll win if there are 3 or more.
When the market opened, both 'Over' and 'Under' were given odds of 20/23. Since that time, it appears the bettors have gone for the 'Under' as that is now 3/4 while the offer on the 'Over' is EVENS.
My Picks
I have bet on a number of these specials. I've taken the 'Under' in the tables market and have made small stake bets on the following wrestlers to appear: Titus O'Neil, Ric Flair, Gold or Stardust, Any of The Usos and Bray Wyatt.
We'll see how these fare later on tonight.

DeleteThanks!
It would be interesting to know whether the superstar appearance would need to be in-ring or whether it would be paid for backstage appearances / Titan tron promos as Wyatt likes to do?
ReplyDeleteIf he or any superstar is not physically there at extreme rules they they are a loser in terms of the betting market.
