American Alpha, Hype Bros. and The Usos .vs. The Vaudevillains, The Ascension and Breezango
I'll tell you what, before I start - from here on out - I'm sticking to naming them 'American Alpha and Co.' and 'Breezango and Co.'!
Anyway, when I left off last night, the babyfaces (that's even easier!) were -600 and had moved into -1050 earlier today. The money has continued to come in on them as they are now -1200.
Their opponents have jumped out from +400 to +550 to +600.
Sami Zayn and Neville .vs. The Dudleys
I left Zayn and Neville at -750. Just like the other pre-show match above, they were backed into -1050 and then -1200 with the other team doing the same move as the heels. They're also at +600 as of 9am BST.
Cesaro .vs. Sheamus
The market is still showing as it did last night. Cesaro is +400 and the Irishman is -600.
A market where clients can bet on the outright winner of the Best of Seven Series is also up. It has seen action. When I last looked at it late last night, Sheamus was -280 to take the series. He has since moved shorter to -475 while Cesaro has gone out from +200 to +325.
Carmella, Lynch and Naomi .vs. Natalya, Bliss and TBD
This has seen a flip. The babyfaces were -530 last night, but had moved to +220 by early this morning. They are now out further to +235.
The move has been in on Natalya's team as they went from +350 outsiders to -300 faves and are now -315.
Rusev .vs. Roman Reigns
Finally, there has been some sign of life in this market. The Bulgarian Brute had been a -285 favourite for over three days, but has now drifted out slightly to -265. This obviously means the customers have backed Reigns. He remains an underdog, but his price has dropped from +205 to +185.
Enzo and Big Cass .vs. JeriKO
No change has occurred in this market. The babyface duo are +300 while Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens remain -420 faves.
The New Day .vs. Anderson and Gallows
Another non-mover. New Day are +255, their challengers are -365.
John Cena .vs. AJ Styles
The customers have backed John Cena through the night. I left him as a +380 outsider last night, he moved down to +280 by 5:20am and is now +250.
This has obviously improved AJ Style's price as a favourite. He has moved out from -570 to -400 to -350 in the same period.
The Miz .vs. Apollo Crews
There has been no evident activity in this market. The Miz is -530 to retain the WWE Intercontinental Championship with a win. Crews is out at +350.
Sasha Banks .vs Charlotte
Ahh, the most controversial market of the week.
When I last checked in, Charlotte was a -750 favourite to either reclaim the WWE Women's Championship or - in the very least - get a win over Sasha Banks, who was +450.
The market was still showing at these prices at 5:20am.
As of 9am, the money has now started to come in on Sasha as she has fallen to +160 with Charlotte now a -210 favourite.
Dean Ambrose .vs. Dolph Ziggler
No difference to last night. Deam Ambrose is -1200 and the challenger to his WWE World Championship is +600.
Finn Balor .vs. Seth Rollins
The customers have backed Balor overnight. He was -350 yesterday evening but had moved to -750 by the start of the day. He remains at this price.
Seth Rollins' number as outsider has increased from +250 to +450.
Brock Lesnar .vs. Randy Orton
An interesting one to finish off with.
Lesnar was a -350 favourite yesterday night. By 5:20am BST, he had moved further in and was -420. However, as of the time of posting, he has moved back to -350.
Randy Orton has returned to +250, but had a spell at +300 before being backed.
5Dimes' WWE SummerSlam markets are found under 'Other Sports' on the betting board at 5Dimes.com.
This time last month before Battleground all the favorites here Went on to win. Do you feel the same is likely to happen here or do you still feel unconvinced on any of them?
ReplyDeleteI need to see a lot more to be convinced.
DeleteI did notice that the favourites didn't become heavy favourites (I.e Sami zayn moving to a -4500) until about 10pm or so though so we shall see
DeleteI think we need wait more time. For example, last time Zayn odds fall just around 4/3/2 hours before show
DeleteI still feel one at least one of the markets that have seen action since Friday could flip. We've also yet to see major movements in the Lesnar/Orton and tag titles bouts.
ReplyDeletePeople have grown used to the money coming in earlier in a week and they're jumping into the moving lines and forcing the odds to go down further. Whether this happened in Charlotte's fall earlier in the week won't be known until later.
ReplyDeleteThe timing of Charlotte's drop is still interesting.
At Mania Zack Ryder odds go down very early. I remember he was main underdog, then third favorite and then main favorite. But he became one of the favorites .. around week before show?
DeleteRyder's odds fell at Bovada a few days before.
DeleteHis individual 5Dimes price came down the day before.
The Bovada price didn't drop too far, but it was eye-opening in hindsight.
DeleteMoney for sasha banks continues to follow along with Enzo and Cass + cena dropping slightly. I'm thinking fan money
ReplyDeleteDavid - with Bayley losing last night and seemingly looked like she's leaving NXT do you think it'd make sense giving Charlotte the title back so they can tease bayleys singles debut?
ReplyDeleteSort of. But I would have Bayley on Smackdown and be the champion of that brand.
DeleteAh yes... I forgot they are bringing a new women's and tag title sometime after summerslam for Smackdown.
DeleteCould I ask if you're still leaning on Seth to win even with more money landing on Balor?
DeleteStill leaning on Rollins after what they did on Raw, but I still think they should have Balor win.
DeleteFor those of you reading this, I cashed out my bets on Balor
DeleteOkay because I've been thinking this Balor backing is fan money because he started off a favourite and people would love for him to beat seth.. But I'm still so surprised wwe pulled the demon king gimmick so soon... And Balor losing his first match like this might not do any good for his demon gimmick... It's a hard one to call for me personally.
DeleteAny idea why Ladbrokes favourites odds are so heavy? Balor at 1/10 for example
ReplyDeleteThey're cautious after having their fingers burnt.
DeleteJust a guess, though!
DeleteI expect multiple changes later. 5Dimes have Sheamus as fav to win the entire series. Thats laughable. Faces always win a Best of 7. And the heels are now favs for the womens tag too. Even more heel victories tonight? Not a chance. Multiple flips coming lads. Mark my words
ReplyDeleteIf they do a 3 on 2 tag match for the women I can see he heels pulling off a win..
DeleteI can see Enzo m cass flipping
I can see sasha flipping
Im hoping Seth flips but unsure
I can also see new day flipping
They won't do 3-on-2 with a heel team at a disadvantage.
DeleteIf Tamina was due back, this would have been perfect.
DeleteCan only see this being 3-on-3. I've seen Nikki bella's name mentioned now she's been cleared. Could use a Heel off Raw/NXT if needed.
Could easily be Maryse
DeleteNikki might have to be a babyface upon her return.
DeleteCan't see Raw talent being mixed in with them.
You're right about Tamina. She would be perfect for that part.
@Marc - good choice.
DeleteCheers David
DeleteFavs backed in further on 5 dimes
ReplyDeleteJust people puttin all the favs in accas
DeleteAgreed. It's only smart money when a few markets move by a big amount in one go. Favourites shortening a bit over time is Natural in betting
DeleteTo be fair, a line moving the way Lesnar's has - for example - is one I would flag usually, but there are too many faves being backed at the same time so I can't see it being anything other than customers blindly backing the favourites.
