Velveteen Dream Is NOT A Favourite To Win The 2020 Rumble

I've just read a WWE Royal Rumble betting news bit on NoDQ.com that made me shake my head as I fear it will become a story and might confuse anybody who reads it and decides to gamble elsewhere without looking at SkyBet.com's Rumble markets.

Aaron Rift's new note states that 'according to SkyBet.com, Velveteen Dream is the early betting odds favourite to win the 2020 men's Royal Rumble. For the women's match, Ronda Rousey is the early betting favourite'.

Looking past the fact that Sky Bet's market has been available since February 9th and the actual early favourites were Braun Strowman and Charlotte Flair for the respective Rumbles matches, Ronda Rousey is indeed the current favourite to win the ladies' match. As for Velveteen Dream? Well, he's further down the list for the men's battle royal - at odds of 33/1 - behind many names.

The actual favourite as of this morning is Roman Reigns (3/1).

The article also notes that Bryan Alvarez from F4WOnline.com has reported that the current plan for the Royal Rumble match will see it comprised of ten members of the Raw roster, ten from Smackdown and ten from NXT.

In my opinion, the breakdown in roster members won't end up as reported because you'd have to assume that there will be spots reserved for cameos of legends or other surprises.

NXT talent is covered in Sky Bet's market. As noted, Velveteen Dream is 33/1, but so are two names I think have a stronger chance of winning, if the battle royal is going to be won by a member of the third brand, in Keith Lee and Tommaso Ciampa.
