Betfair Publishes 2016 Royal Rumble Odds

The Betfair Sportsbook has become the latest company to publish betting odds for the 2016 WWE Royal Rumble.

The market for the marquee match, where the winner will secure a title shot at WrestleMania 32, went up in the early hours of this morning.

As of the time of writing, there are over thirty-five names listed. Most of the list is made up of current stars, but there are fixtures from the past near the bottom given long-shot odds of winning (and rightfully so!).

Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar are both at the top of the list at 3/1. Behind them is this year's winner - Roman Reigns - who is 9/2.

Other notable names at the top deck are: Daniel Bryan 11/2, Ryback 6/1, Dean Ambrose 13/2, Rusev 7/1, Kevin Owens 15/2 and John Cena 9/1.

The Rock is available at 50/1. I can see people liking those odds based on the possibility that he will be involved with WrestleMania next year. However, the current idea is that he'll square-off against Triple H following on from the angles the pair have done recently. Triple H himself is 50/1.

The least-likely is 'Vince or Shane McMahon' who have been chalked up at 100/1. 'Least-likely' is quite an understatement. I'd put them in the 'No Chance in Hell' category.

All of the current odds have been typed up below. There is also a Betfair banner for those who aren't customers so you can sign up and get free bets after placing your first wager.
