In this post, I'll list the betting websites where you'll likely find odds for the event which takes place on January 25th. In order to get a better grasp of where to find Royal Rumble betting markets, I'll list the sites that offered betting for last month's pay-per-view, Tables, Ladders, Chairs & Tables 2014, and then note the companies that had Royal Rumble odds last year.
Sportsbooks That Had WWE TLC 2014 Odds
5Dimes
The 5Dimes Sportsbook is one of the most popular betting websites for wrestling fans as it is often always the first to publish betting odds for WWE pay-per-views.
Last month, the company produced odds for TLC in the early hours of the Tuesday before the show, so - if you're on the lookout for prices - I'd check just after Raw or Tuesday. That's my guess.
There are two other things worth noting about 5Dimes: last month, it was the only company to offer its customers the opportunity to place accumulator wagers on WWE matches, so if accumulators are your thing, it's worth checking out this post informing you how to bet doubles and upwards with 5Dimes. The other thing worth noting is that 5Dimes is the only sportsbook on this list that accepts custom from people based in the USA.
When they're up, WWE Royal Rumble betting odds will be found under 'Pro Wrestling' in the 'Other Sports' category of the betting board at 5Dimes.com
Sky Bet
Sky Bet is another company that offers WWE betting markets every month. The firm, based within the UK, was second to publish betting odds for the most recent WWE PPV. Markets for TLC were initially published on the Friday morning before the show. However, seeing as this is WWE's second biggest show of the year, I would not be surprised at all if Sky Bet produces odds earlier than that this time. To highlight this point, in 2014 - Sky Bet's Royal Rumble markets went live at around midday on the Thursday before the event.
Sky Bet's WWE Royal Rumble prices will be found under 'Wrestling' on the A-Z menu of SkyBet.com. You could also check by following this link to Sky Bet's Wrestling Page.
Paddy Power
Paddy Power was the third, and final, sports betting firm to publish betting odds for the most recent pay-per-view.
The Irish betting firm has been offering its customers WWE betting for many years and I would be very surprised if they didn't for this year's Royal Rumble.
In 2014, Paddy Power was the second company to launch Royal Rumble betting markets. These went live on the Wednesday afternoon before the show. One of the most intriguing offerings from Paddy Power's Rumble odds last year was the prop bets where they gave customers the opportunity to wager on the wrestler that eliminates the most men during the Rumble match. With a bit of fortune, we might get similar markets this year.
When they go up, you'll find the WWE markets under 'Sports Novelties' at PaddyPower.com. Alternatively, you can follow this direct link to Paddy Power's WWE Betting Page.
Sky Bet's WWE Royal Rumble prices will be found under 'Wrestling' on the A-Z menu of SkyBet.com. You could also check by following this link to Sky Bet's Wrestling Page.

Another Possiblity
Sportsbooks That Had Royal Rumble Betting Markets In 2014
Ladbrokes
The Ladbrokes Sportsbook had been offering WWE betting odds for the latter part of 2014 and had done so for WrestleMania. The firm was planning to publish WWE TLC 2014 prices on the Sunday of the show, but decided to cancel publication at what appeared to be the last minute. I am unsure whether this was a decision to stop opening WWE markets for just the one show or whether it was for all future shows.
It might be worth checking out Ladbrokes in the days leading up to the Royal Rumble to see if there odds up. If there are, they'll be found under 'Wrestling' on the A-Z of the sports menu at Ladbrokes.com
Sportsbooks That Had Royal Rumble Betting Markets In 2014
Below is a list of betting companies that offered its customers 2014 Royal Rumble betting. Some of these firms stopped publishing WWE betting markets over the course of the year. In some cases, this might have been because these firms decided to only hang out prices for the main WWE cards. Others, on the other hand, found WWE betting bad for business (ie they weren't generating enough interest/new customers/returning customers who signed up via WWE betting to bet on other markets/profit), so decided to discontinue WWE betting altogether. I am obviously hoping some of the below return, even if it's just for the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania.
YouWin/UWin
YouWin.com and its Canadian-facing parner, UWin.com have told me told me a number of weeks ago that they no longer offer WWE betting markets. Like I noted above, I hope some of these firms decide to come back in time for WrestleMania season. I'm unsure whether YouWin/UWin will be one of those as the customer service rep seemed adamant that they will no longer offer WWE to the customers.
Sporting Bet
SportingBet's WWE Royal Rumble 2014 betting odds were published on the Thursday before the show. They were found under 'Specials' on the main sportsbook webpage at SportingBet.com
Boyle Sports
Boyle Sports is a popular Irish bookmaker that has been publishing WWE betting lines sporadically over the years. The last time the company offered its customers WWE markets was for WWE Hell in a Cell in October, so it has been recent.
In 2014, the company posted WWE Royal Rumble odds on the Thursday before the show. If they're up, you'll find them under 'Novelty Bets' at BoyleSports.com.
BetFred
BetFred is one of Britain's most popular betting companies and has offered WWE betting for the main shows of 2014. It's possible that the company will produce lines for this year's Royal Rumble.
In 2014, BetFred's Rumble odds were published on the Friday before the event. If the company decides to offer Royal Rumble betting in 2015, they'll be found under 'TV Shows / Specials' on the sportsbook menu at Betfred.com.
Coral
I would not be surprised at all if Coral Bookmakers does betting for this year's Royal Rumble.
The company has told me in the past that they are keen to offer WWE betting, but only for the main cards like the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania.
Coral produced betting odds for last year's Rumble as well as WrestleMania, so I think the chances are good that we'll see something this year.
When they're up, they'll more than likely be found under 'TV Specials' in the Non-Sports category of the Coral.co.uk
William Hill
I left William Hill last on this spot, for a simple reason. William Hill was the first British bookmaker to offer WWE betting markets way back in the early 2000s. The company's first event? The Royal Rumble of 2002! Even though the company hasn't published odds for some of the most recent WWE events, they did offer a handful during 2014. I remain hopeful that William Hill will offer its customers wagering opportunities on this year's Royal Rumble.
If they go up, you'll be able to find them on under 'TV/Specials' on WilliamHill.com
