Observer Star Rating Betting For Battleground Sunday

In a post published yesterday, I mentioned that the oddsmakers from Kambi had added more Wrestling Observer Star rating prop bets to its coverage of WWE Battleground 2017 and went through what was on deck. I've just had another look through the markets to see whether any of the lines or odds have changed since yesterday. Here's what I found.

Punters Have Backed Over 2 Stars In The 5-Way
In the post, I highlighted the line of two stars for the fatal 5-way match as I felt it had a good chance of going over. When I wrote about it, the odds for the '2 or Over' were at 17/20, but they have now been cut to 13/20.
The traders have moved the Under to 11/10 from 17/20.

The Under Has Been Backed In The US Championship Market
Another line that stood out to me yesterday was the four-and-a-half stars that the oddsmakers set for the US Championship match. I pointed out that, the last time AJ Styles and Kevin Owens met in a singles bout on a PPV, it was rated *** 3/4. 
The odds for the 'Under' have been slashed from 17/20 into 7/10. Anyone wanting to back the over can now find it at even money - an improvement from 17/20.

1.25 Stars Or Over Cut For The Kick Off Match
This one wasn't my fault, even though I agree with it!
Customers have backed the Kick Off match, which will see Tye Dillinger taking on Aiden English, receiving more than one-and-a-quarter stars in Dave Meltzer's review of the matches in the upcoming issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The price has been cut from even money into 1/2 while the 'Over' has increased from 7/10 to 7/5.
The reason why I agree with the punters? Dillinger and English managed to get two stars the last time they wrestled on a PPV pre-show at Backlash in May.
