The Kambi oddsmakers have published betting markets for next week's episode of WWE Mixed Match Challenge.
Last season's winners - Asuka and The Miz - are 4/9 favourites against Naomi and Jimmy Uso (6/4). While - over in the other match - Bayley and Finn Balor have opened as 3/5 faves to get a W over Natalya and Bobby Roode (6/5).
The bookies have also priced up 'Gender of Decision' markets for both bouts.
If the females are the legal participants of the match when the fall is determined in the Bayley/Balor .vs. Natalya/Roode match the bookies will pay out at odds of EVS. A decision in favour of 'Male' is currently a 7/10 favourite.
The 'Male' option is 11/20 in the market for Asuka and The Miz versus Naomi and Jimmy Uso. This is understandable considering Asuka and Naomi are friends on Smackdown. However, those looking to place a wager on the friends being involved in the match finish can find 'Female' at 5/4.
A number of weeks ago, I mentioned that I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of the decisions made in the tournament were when the females were legal participants. This is because I felt the company would want to highlight the females more with Evolution around the corner. With Evolution taking place five days after these matches, you can't get closer to the aforementioned corner, so I have decided to place bets on the females in BOTH of these matches. I'll do this as soon as I hit publish.
I'm not completely confident on Asuka/Naomi, though.
Prices correct as of 12PM BST.
