Where To Bet On WWE Night Of Champions 2015

Now that SummerSlam 2015 is behind us, it's time to look ahead to the next opportunity for WWE fans to bet on a professional wrestling event. Next on the list is Night of Champions on September 20th.

In this post, I'll list the sports betting websites where you will more than likely find betting markets for the September PPV. What I usually do is list the websites that published prices for the most recent PPV. However, there was a large number of sports betting firms with SummerSlam 2015 odds that don't offer professional wrestling betting on a regular basis. Therefore, the websites that get the most attention in this post will be the companies that consistently have WWE markets month-to-month as Night of Champions isn't one of the 'Big Three'.

The bwin Sportsbook

The bwin Sportsbook is at the top of this list because it was the first book to put up betting odds for SummerSlam. It initially published odds for the Brock Lesnar versus The Undertaker match hours after it was announced on the July 20th episode of Monday Night Raw.

If you're reading this before August 25th, it's also worth noting that bwin had been taking wagers on the WWE Tough Enough winners. This market is currently down, but it might be worth making regular check backs as bwin does occasionally remove its WWE markets for re-adjustment.

One other thing about bwin is the company was the first to publish WWE Royal Rumble 2016 odds. They are still available at the time of writing.

If you would like to bet on WWE with bwin, you'll find the markets in the 'Entertainment' section of the bwin website.

26th August Update: Bwin has published betting odds for Night of Champions

5Dimes Casino & Sportsbook

5Dimes was the second sportsbook to put up odds for the SummerSlam main event. Its prices were published on July 25th - only a few days after Bwin.

This company has been installing WWE betting lines for years and is more often than not the go-to place for the earliest prices.

Due to gambling laws, 5Dimes was forced to block customers living in the UK in early August. The company can still be accessed from people outside of the country and is the only sportsbook that publishes WWE odds for visitors from the United States on a consistent basis.

5Dimes is another sportsbook accepting wagers on next year's Royal Rumble. These can be found under 'Futures' on the menu.

If you are in a country where 5Dimes will accept your custom, you'll be able to find the WWE markets - when they're available - in the 'Other Sports' category on the betting board on the 5Dimes website.

Paddy Power

The Irish bookmaker Paddy Power is another regular venue for WWE sports bettors as the company publishes WWE-related lines every month.

Paddy Power's WWE SummerSlam markets were first out on the 26th of July, so they were early just like the two other companies listed so far.

What was also cool about Paddy Power's coverage of SummerSlam weekend was the fact the traders drew up lines for the NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn event that took place on the eve of SummerSlam. Not only that - they also had a selection of prop bets where customers could place their stakes on whether the Money in the Bank contract was executed or if certain names like Sting or The Rock showed up on the night.

The company is also accepting wagers on the 2016 Royal Rumble winner and two fantasy booked WrestleMania matches (I don't think they have a chance of happening, but it's good for customers who think they will. If they don't take place, all bets will be refunded).

If you live in a country where Paddy Power is allowed to operate, I highly recommend becoming a customer because the firm is definitely keen with its WWE markets. I hope there are more NXT markets in future.

Betfair Sportsbook

The Betfair Sportsbook is another sports firm I cannot recommend highly enough. It has been publishing WWE betting lines for well over a year now.

Its WWE SummerSlam markets were first installed on August 28th.

One of the things that differentiates Betfair from the rest is that the traders put up some unique prop markets where customers can bet over an under certain things happening within a show. For example, at SummerSlam, punters could predict whether Undertaker's entrance would go over or under three and a half minutes.

Having a bet on matches is good, but add in little side wagers like this and it makes it even more enjoyable watching - and betting - on WWE.

Betfair is another company with Royal Rumble markets. These have been up for quite some time already.

If you're looking for Betfair's WWE odds, you need to head over to the Betfair Special Bets Page and click on the 'USA' tab. You'll find them there.

Ladbrokes

Ladbrokes has offered its clients the option to bet on WWE wrestling shows for a little over the year. At first, it seemed to do this on a semi-regular basis but has now started publishing lines on a more frequent basis.

Laddies' SummerSlam markets first went live in early August. Initially, the traders had compiled odds for the main event but added more match markets as SummerSlam neared.

The company appears to be making WWE betting a regular thing as there are Royal Rumble odds available on Ladbrokes' Wrestling Betting Page.

Sky Bet

SkyBet.com is another sports betting brand that has published WWE markets every month without fail for years.

Its WWE SummerSlam odds went up on the week of the show. However, Sky Bet is one of the only bookmakers that keeps its WWE markets open until right before the respective match begins.

Another thing that was good about Sky Bet's coverage over SummerSlam weekend was, just like with Paddy Power, Sky Bet customers could bet on NXT TakeOver. Hopefully, this experiment proved to be worthwhile and we'll get to see more NXT-related content in future.

When they're available, you'll be able to view Sky Bet's Night of Champions odds on the Wrestling Betting Page.

17th September Update: Sky Bet's Odds Are Out

William Hill

William Hill, Britain's oldest bookmaking firm was the first to offer the UK market a way to punt on pro wrestling when odds were compiled for the 2002 Royal Rumble.

Years later, the sportsbook has added monthly PPVs to its schedule and publishes lines on a frequent basis.

19th September Update: William Hill's Odds Are Out

I hope this has been of help for you. Don't forget to check out BetOnWrestling.co.uk's Live WWE Odds Page where you'll find the latest odds next to each other.

Best of luck!
