Bovada's WWE SummerSlam 2017 Odds For Sunday Morning

I've just spent a few minutes looking through the Bovada Sportsbook's SummerSlam markets. It was the third time I've monitored the odds after I was informed of their existence on Friday.

In this post, I'll run through all of the markets and point out how the prices have changed. 

Miz and The Miztourage .vs. Jason Jordan and The Hardys
When I looked through the market for the trios match on Saturday morning, I noticed the punters had backed the babyfaces as their odds moved in from -105 to -115. However, Miz and the Miztourage were -125 favourites. As of this morning, the heels' price has shortened as they're now -250 while Jordan and The Hardys have jumped out to +170 from the aforementioned -115.

Big Show .vs. Big Cass
This market was still showing Big Show at +350 and Big Cass at -600 on Saturday morning. However, the betting has evidently landed in favour of Big Show because he's now down to +150. The oddsmakers have pushed Cass out to -200 from -600.

Finn Balor .vs. Bray Wyatt
If you've been following along since Saturday afternoon, I'm sure you may have read a rant from yours truly where I've been asking why people have been betting on Bray Wyatt to get a decision over 'The Demon'. Bray Wyatt has fallen here as well. He went from +425 to +350. As a result, Balor has been moved up to -600 from -800. 

John Cena .vs. Baron Corbin
The former Mr. Money in the Bank - Baron Corbin - was on the descent. He had fallen from +150 into +130 by Saturday morning. He has now become a full-blown favourite at -175. John Cena's drift has seen him move from -200 to -170 to +135 in the period that I've tracked the moves.

Randy Orton .vs. Rusev
The early wagers landed on Randy Orton as his price fell from +150 to +115 between Friday evening and Saturday morning. It's a different story now, though. Rusev went from -200 to -155 when Orton's price came in, but he's now a -250 favourite. Orton is currently +170.

Jinder Mahal .vs. Shinsuke Nakamura 
When I checked in on Saturday morning, Mahal had remained a +300 favourite to successfully retain his WWE Championship. His price has since fallen to +250.
Shinsuke Nakamura has been moved up from -500 to -400 in the same time.

Akira Tozawa .vs. Neville
WWE Cruiserweight Champion - Akira Tozawa - has moved from a minus 140 favourite into -250. Neville, who was +100 from Friday to at least Saturday morning, has now moved out to +170.

Cesaro/Sheamus .vs. Ambrose/Rollins
The odds for the WWE Raw Tag Team Champions to successfully retain their straps have been cut from +275 into +210. Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins have moved out from -450 to -320.

Alexa Bliss .vs. Sasha Banks 
The WWE Raw Women's Champion, Alexa Bliss, has been on the decline. Her odds went from +155 to +150 between Friday evening and Saturday morning and have now entered favouritism. She's currently -175.
Sasha Banks, who was originally the favourite, went from -220 to -200 and now rests at +135.

The New Day .vs. The Usos
The New Day were -175 on Friday and remained at this price the following morning. However, their odds have now been cut into -230. As a result, The Usos have been extended from +135 to +160.

AJ Styles .vs. Kevin Owens
WWE US Champion, AJ Styles, was -500 on Friday. He is now slightly shorter at -550. Kevin Owens, who is now +325, started out at +300.

WWE Universal Championship Fatal 4-Way
Surprisingly, the Bovada punters have backed Roman Reigns to become WWE Universal Champion as his number has descended from +1500 to +400 today after being pushed out from the +950 he was available at on Friday.
Reigns isn't the only name whose odds have declined. Braun Strowman - who was +1200 on Friday - has been cut to +900.
Samoa Joe is second-favourite at +350. He was initially +280.
Brock Lesnar is still in the driver's seat. He is currently -275 which is better than the -333 he was on Friday. As I've written plenty of times during the SummerSlam 2017 betting period, I strongly believe Lesnar will leave Brooklyn as champ.
