Sheamus is now a favourite to be the outright winner of the 'Best of Seven Series' between he and Cesaro.
Odds for the up to seven-match winner were published a couple of days ago at 5Dimes.com with both options available at -120 pick 'ems. In yesterday's update, I noted that the customers had backed Cesaro into a -170 favourite while Sheamus moved out to +130.
Thursday night betting has now gone the other way with the Irishman now a -190 favourite. Cesaro has moved out from -170 to +150.
Interestingly, Ladbrokes' odds for the first match in the series - that is listed on Ladbrokes' WWE Betting Page as 'Cesaro vs Sheamus - Best of Seven Series' has also seen Sheamus backed as he his price has gone to 5/4 to 5/6. Cesaro's number has increased from 4/7 to 5/6.
I have noted in previous posts that I am concerned that Ladbrokes customers have been betting on this match market under the belief that they're wagering on the outright winner. Now that Sheamus is favourite to win outright, it's difficult to determine whether they're following Sheamus' favouritism to win overall or just to win match one on Sunday.
For what it's worth, Sheamus remains a -145 to win the initial bout at SummerSlam with 5Dimes.com. Cesaro is +105. The market hasn't changed overnight.
Odds correct as of 10:30am BST.
