The best way to approach this is to list the websites that offered odds for the most recent show - WWE Battleground 2014 - and then direct you to other companies that have published WWE lines in the past.
Another thing worth mentioning is I have been making contact with some of the bookmakers that have never offered WWE in its betting coverage with the hope of making them consider doing so not just for SummerSlam, but for other events on the WWE pay-per-view calendar.
If you would like to help me in this campaign, please sign up to some of the brands advertised around this blog. You do not need to deposit anything, all I ask is that you please register an account. I hope the end result is that they'll see this blog can send them potential customers that are willing to bet on professional wrestling. If you recall, I did a similar campaign in December of last year and since that time companies like Betfred and Ladbrokes have jumped aboard and offered WWE markets in 2014.
Betting Companies That Had WWE Battleground Match Markets
5Dimes Casino & Sportsbook (US Friendly)
The oddsmakers at 5Dimes have been publishing betting lines for World Wrestling Entertainment pay-per-views consistently for many years.
WWE markets are usually opened up a number of days before the event starts.However, as it's SummerSlam, it's possible that they could be up sooner than that. In 2013, SummerSlam prices were available as early as three weeks before the show.
When the markets are opened, they will be found under 'Other Sports' on the Betting board at 5Dimes.com
Paddy Power
Paddy Power is another betting firm that has WWE lines up each and every month. Founded in Ireland, the company caters to customers based in Great Britain, Ireland and other countries.
When published, the odds will be found under the 'Sports Novelties' section of PaddyPower.com
Paddy Power's WWE odds can also be viewed live on BetOnWrestling.co.uk's Live WWE Odds Page
Sky Bet
With Sky being the British home of WWE programming, it only makes sense for cross promotion to occur. Sky Bet has been promoting WWE betting on a monthly basis for quite some time and will surely have SummerSlam odds close to the time of the event.
When they are up, SummerSlam betting markets will be found under 'Wrestling' on the sports betting menu at SkyBet.com
Sky Bet's WWE Odds can also be viewed live on BetOnWrestling.co.uk's Live WWE Odds Page
Betfair
See below.
Ladbrokes
Ladbrokes is a relative newcomer to the WWE betting game but is traditional name to betting. The company is one of the oldest and popular betting brands from Great Britain and has had odds up for this year's WrestleMania, Money in the Bank and Battleground.
Ladbrokes' WWE odds - when available - can either be found by typing 'WWE' into the search bar at the top of the company's homepage (something I had to do to discover Money in the Bank markets) or, as they had it set out for the most recent event, listed under 'Wrestling' on the menu of the sports betting page at Ladbrokes.com
Betting Companies That Have Offered WWE Betting Opportunities In The Past
William Hill
William Hill is one of the world's oldest bookmakers and frequently opens World Wrestling Entertainment betting markets despite not having done so last month.
William Hill was the first company to accept bets on wrestling in 2001 when a book was opened on which wrestler would win the 2002 Royal Rumble. The company moved on from there years later giving customers the opportunity to wager on a full pay-per-view card.
The company DID have SummerSlam markets last year.
When available, WWE odds will be available under 'TV/Specials' on the sports betting menu at WilliamHill.com.
William Hill''s WWE markets can also be viewed live on BetOnWrestling.co.uk's Live WWE Odds Page
YouWin & Uwin
YouWin and its Canadian-facing parner, UWin have published betting lines for most of the recent WWE pay-per-views but didn't have anything priced up for Battleground on July 20th.
YouWin caters to the European bettor whilst UWin is focused mainly on clients in North America.
Both companies DID have SummerSlam markets published in 2013.
When available, WWE odds can be found under 'Specials' on eiither YouWin.com or UWin.com
YouWin's WWE markets can be viewed live on BetOnWrestling.co.uk's Live WWE Odds Page
Betfair
On a technicality, Betfair did have betting odds published for last month's pay-per-view. However, these prices were only made available to customers based in New Jersey.
Betfair started out life as a betting exchange where customers could bet against one another. The company has expanded since its early 2000s launch and now hosts a sportsbook.
The Betfair Sportsbook entered the WWE betting marketplace earlier this year when the company offered prices for WrestleMania XXX. They followed up a month later with markets for Extreme Rules but have not offered anything since (other than the aforementioned New Jersey-facing version that had Battleground markets).
Seeing as SummerSlam is the third most popular event on the WWE calendar, I would not be surprised at all to see Betfair open up betting to all of its customers. I hope they do, as I think they do a good job coming up with additional bets for each show. For example, they had prop bets on 'How many times will Hulk Hogan say "Brother" during WrestleMania?' (a personal favourite) and even had a prop for Battleground where the customers could wager on whether Sting showed up or not.
If available, SummerSlam odds will be found under 'USA' in the 'Special Bets' category of the sportsbook at Betfair.com
Betfair's WWE markets can be viewed live on BetOnWrestling.co.uk's Live WWE Odds Page
Betfred
Betfred has grown to be one of the most popular sports betting companies on the British high street.
The company entered the WWE betting game earlier this year opening markets on the week of the Royal Rumble. They followed that up with odds for WrestleMania XXX and then Extreme Rules.
Seeing as the company published lines for both the Rumble and WrestleMania, I am hoping they'll also cover SummerSlam.
If they do get published, Betfred's SummerSlam odds will be found under 'TV Shows / Specials' on the sports menu on Betfred's Website.
BoyleSports
BoyleSports is Ireland's largest independent bookmaker and has offered WWE betting markets in the past.
The company tends to publish odds for the major WWE shows, so it's possible that they'll be pricing up match odds for SummerSlam.
BoyleSports DID offer its customers SummerSlam 2013 odds last year.
If the company decides to publish odds, they'll be found under 'Novelties' at BoyleSports.com
Coral
Coral Bookmakers is one of the oldest companies in Great Britain and has offered WWE odds for some of the major shows of 2014 like Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania.
The firm DID have SummerSlam 2013 markets, so it's possible that they'll have something up this time.
When available, the markets will be found under 'Non-Sports' on the sports betting menu at Coral.co.uk
SportingBet
SportingBet is another betting firm that specifically publishes betting odds for the major WWE shows. However, there have been occasions when they have released lines for events not classified as 'The Big Four'.
If available, SummerSlam odds will be found listed under 'More Sports' on the homepage at SportingBet.com.
Bodog (Canadian Friendly)
Before Bo Dallas' finisher came this Canadian-facing sportsbook.
This company has offered WWE match markets for the most popular WWE events. As SummerSlam is one of the big events of the year, it's possible that Bodog will publish lines for it.
If they do become available, Bodog will have Wrestling odds under 'Other Sports' at Bodog.eu
Bovada (US Friendly)
Without giving too much of a history lesson, Bovada spawned from Bodog and caters to an American audience.
Similarly to Bodog, when Bovada's Wrestling lines are published, they'll be live under 'Other Sports'. I state 'live' as there is an unclickable 'Wrestling' link filed there in preparation for the time when odds have been compiled.
Bovada's website address is Bovada.lv
And that's it for another month. Please don't forget to help me on my quest to get more betting firms to consider offering wrestling betting odds. Thanks for taking the time to read this long list I've compiled.
I hope this list has been of use to you. Good luck with your bets!
