Two matches were given the highest star ratings in Dave Meltzer's review of last Sunday's NXT TakeOver: Portland event.
The review, which appeared in the issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that was published this morning, gave four-and-three-quarter stars to the NXT Tag Team Championship match which saw Pete Dunne and Matt Riddle claim the straps from Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly and its following main event which saw Adam Cole retain the NXT Championship with a decision over Tommaso Ciampa.
With two bouts sharing the 'Highest Rated Match' honours, Kambi's market - in which customers could bet on the match they thought would get the most stars in Dave Meltzer's review - will be settled under the dead-heat rule.
The 'NXT Championship' selection started off at 13/5 on February 4th and found its way down to 9/4 heading into the day of the show while its co-winner started out at 9/4 and was out to 13/4 by 6:30PM GMT on the evening of the event.
The favourite - Finn Balor versus Johnny Gargano - was backed from 6/4 into 3/4 between February 4th and Sunday evening and came one quarter of a star short of making it a three-way tie.
7/4 was being offered in a proposition market in which clients could gamble on the prospect of two or more matches having the 'Joint Highest Rated' bouts in the review.
'No' lost as a 2/5 favourite.
Another market that will now be settled following the release of Meltzer's report is one in which customers could have gambled on the 'Exact Star Rating of the Highest Rated Match'. There were three options, 'Over 4.75 Stars' was 2/1, 'Under 4.75 Stars' was a 4/6 favourite and the winner - 'Exactly 4.75 Stars' - was 6/4.
Kambi will now settle the star rating over/under markets that were created for all six matches on Sunday's card.
As you'll see below, the 'Over' struck in four of the matches. The option to gamble on a respective match getting 'Exactly' what the line was won for the remaining two bouts.
