Ir was such an expansive book for New Japan Pro Wrestling's annual tournament that I made the choice to write about the outright winner markets last night. Today's job was to go through all of the proposition, Over/Under and Wrestling Observer Star Ratings markets that have been compiled. So, here's a look at everything else that I didn't get into last night.
All of the prices are from the notes I made when the markets were first published yesterday.

Exact Star Rating Of The Highest Rated Match
Customers can also wager on the 'Exact Star Rating' of the highest rated match in Dave Meltzer's coverage of the tournament. Similar markets are published for monthly WWE PPVs. However, seeing as NJPW matches have broken star ratings records in the past, the bookies have the selections at a higher standard than WWE's. For example, there is a '6.5 Stars or More' option. In contrast, the 'Exact Star Rating' market for WWE Stomping Grounds only went as high as '4 Stars or More'.
6.5 Stars Or More 23/10
Exactly 6.25 Stars 2/1
Exactly 6.0 Stars 7/4
Exactly 5.75 Stars 2/1
Exactly 5.5 Stars 8/1
Exactly 5.25 Stars 12/1
5.0 Stars Or Less 11/2
I'll write more about these markets over the coming weeks. In the meantime, you check if they're available by following the link to Kambi's WWE/Pro Wrestling markets below.
