Gambling On One Of Sky Bet's Elimination Chamber Markets

Sky Bet has published a market for one of the latest matches that have been added to the WWE Elimination Chamber 2021 card and I've placed three bets on what I believe are possible ways the match could go.

As mentioned yesterday, after Kambi opened a book for it, the match will be held inside the Elimination Chamber. Its winner will get a Universal Championship match against Roman Reigns on the night.

Kevin Owens is a 4/6 favourite.

Cesaro was a 2/1 second-favourite to begin with. However, his price has been lowered into 7/4 after I took a gamble on him.

The reason why I've gambled on the Swiss Cyborg is because I have a feeling he'll get the title shot against Roman Reigns only for Seth Rollins to ruin his chance of victory.

An angle between Cesaro and Seth Rollins was done on Friday night in which the former was the last man left at ringside during Rollins' return speech to most of the Smackdown roster. It led to Rollins attacking Cesaro in the aisle after Cesaro failed to see Rollins' 'vision'.

I believe it's worth pointing out that Cesaro was originally scheduled to be the one who did well before coming up short in the gauntlet match - which was won by Adam Pearce - on Smackdown weeks ago. The same sort of scenario could play out here with Cesaro overcoming the odds to win in the Elimination Chamber only to be robbed of triumph at the final hurdle, which - in this case - will be the Universal Championship match.

I've also placed a small wager on one of the two other babyfaces in the match - Daniel Bryan.

I still have Rollins ruining Cesaro's night, but thought that - if it somehow happened during the Elimination Chamber match itself - then the next best choice would be to have Bryan do well only to fall to Reigns.

I have considered outcomes with Owens winning, but thought I'd go for the odds and went with a controversial outcome for my third bet on the match.

Jey Uso is the third selection I have backed. I've done so just in case WWE goes with one of the babyfaces being robbed at the end of the Elimination Chamber match and for Uso to then go on and lay down for his cousin so he gets to retain in the end.

I don't like the third scenario at all, but I think it has to be considered as viable as a Jey Uso chamber victory followed by a Roman Reigns 'win' would score one for Reigns against Adam Pearce after the authority figure added Uso to the match without having to qualify.

Here's how the market has moved this morning.
