As of the time of writing, and these things do get taken down a lot, the handful of props/specials are:
- First Time Rumble Winner?
- Winner To Be Making His Rumble Debut?
- A Female To Take Part?
- Participant To Make The Most Eliminations
- Last Eliminated Participant
- To Enter At Number 30
- Entry Number Of Match Winner (I left this last for a possible good reason)
First Time Rumble Winner?
This one is easy. You're betting 'Yes' or 'No' that whoever winds up winning in 2016 hasn't won the battle royal in the past. The 'No' is 1/4 and the 'Yes' is 5/2.
What I Would Do: If I was forced to pick one side, it would be 'No' as I have a feeling a former winner will do so again. The only outside chances are Dean Ambrose and Kevin Owens. You'll find them at better odds to win in the straight up market.
Winner To Be Making A Rumble Debut?
If you think that Kevin Owens will leave the Rumble with the WrestleMania title shot, then this might appeal to you. Sort of. They're paying 10/1 on the winner being a Rumble debutant.
What I Would Do: The 'No' is 1/100. I wouldn't bet that price, so it's a pass.
A Female To Participate In The Royal Rumble?
What I Would Do: From memory, I can recall Chyna and Kharma entering in previous years. I can't see it happening in 2016, but have put £1 on just in case they have Tamina or Nia Jax come in for a bit. It was either a small punt for a laugh or a pass so I went with the former. I'm not sold on the bet being a winning one.
Most Eliminations
The sportsbook has compiled a long list of names for customers to bet on the wrestler who will eliminate the most entrants in the match. Brock Lesnar is a 4/6 favourite
What I Would Do: Brock is a very good shout, but I'm going with Braun Strowman at 11/4.
Last Eliminated
Customers can bet on the wrestler who will be the last eliminated from the match. Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns are joint-favourites with 2/1 odds each. Next on the list is Triple H at 7/2.
What I Would Do: I have gone with Brock Lesnar at 2/1. Once again, I am on the 'Triple H will win it' mindset, It could be clouding my judgement, though.
Entry Of Winner
The traders have drawn up odds where customers can wager on the position of the eventual winner. The numbers and odds are:

What I Would Do: I have purposely left this market last because I think there might be some value here if you aren't a customer of 888Sport.
I recommend placing a bet on the wrestler in the 29-30 spot to win. If the winner is a surprise, I think they'll enter in either of these positions. At the time of publishing, 888Sport has a new customer deal where they will treble the odds of your first bet (up to £10) so you're looking at 12/1 odds instead of the 4s. Even if you don't like my prediction and would rather go to the 26-28 zone, you're looking at 6/1 which is better than 2s.These markets can be found under 'WWE' in the sports menu at 888Sport.com. They can also be found at Unibet.com and 32Red.com, but the offer I mentioned above can only be found with 888Sport.
