As of this morning, the sportsbook is offering 4/6 on the retired basketball player getting in ring for a bout on April 2nd.
The 'Yes' selection is out at 11/10.
Earlier this week, I noted that Shaq had revealed on his podcast that he was once again in talks with World Wrestling Entertainment about the match with Big Show that had been building for years and was meant to have taken place at this year's event. The news forced the oddsmakers to cut the 'No' down from 3/1 into 3/2.
There was a point yesterday where the 'Yes' and 'No' were equal at 5/6 apiece, but the latter has evidently been backed since then.
This week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter states that the build to the match would have started two to three weeks ago had all parties been on the same page.
Betfair's WrestleMania 33 markets are found under 'Special Bets' on the Betfair Sportsbook's Website.
I agree it feels its getting too late to build anything up to it now... Just feels like if anything happens now it will sort of be a on the night thing. Like big show coming out and saying he was supposed to be facing shaq etc but he must be scared and then shaq comes out.
ReplyDeleteBut chances are WWE would rather scrap it then do that
I'm worried that scenario will play out. If it does, it wouldn't be an 'official match' so the No should win even though we get Shaq and Show doing something.
