Paddy Power's Payback 2017 Odds For Tuesday Night

It has been close to twelve hours since I first noticed Paddy Power's WWE Payback 2017 betting odds were in the process of being uploaded to the website and published a post where I pointed out the opening odds.

Since that time, fifty percent of the markets are showing different prices. In this post, I'll go through the markets that have changed in order to show where the early punters have been betting.

I'll start with the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship market.

Date / Time
The Hardys
Cesaro and Sheamus
25/4 AM
1/2
6/4
10:30PM
2/5
13/8

As you can see, the first sign of action has gone the way of the current tag team champions as they have been backed from 1/2 into 2/5 with Cesaro and Sheamus drifting out to 13/8 from 6/4.

Another title market that has seen some interest is the once for the Raw Women's Championship.

Date / Time
Alexa Bliss
Bayley
25/4 AM
4/9
13/8
10:30PM
1/2
6/4

Just like with the tag market, the punters have sided with the titleholder. Bayley's price has dipped from 13/8 into 6/4. 

For what it's worth, I thought the oddsmakers had it right when I first looked over the market. I believe Alexa Bliss should be the favourite here as I can see Sasha Banks costing Bayley the title to start building up something between the best friends.

One thing worth noting, however - and it could be one of the reasons why Bayley has been backed at this stage - is the event is being held in Bayley's home city of San Jose, California. 

Braun Strowman has been supported in the market for his battle against Roman Reigns.

Date / Time
Braun Strowman
Roman Reigns
25/4 AM
4/7
5/4
10:30PM
1/2
6/4

His price has fallen from 4/7 into 1/2 while the WrestleMania 33 main eventer has been moved out to 6/4 from 5/4.

On one hand, I believe Strowman has to win this match because he lost their previous PPV meeting at Fast Lane. Also - he's set to challenge Brock Lesnar whenever 'The Beast' returns to TV. On the other hand - I would not be surprised if the match ends without a clear winner to set up a stipulation match (ambulance or stretcher match) for Extreme Rules in June.

The House of Horrors match market has been see-sawing.

Date / Time
Randy Orton
Bray Wyatt
25/4 AM
8/11
EVS
5PM
5/6
5/6
10:30PM
4/6
11/10

The early bettors sided with Bray Wyatt to win the gimmick match as his price was cut from EVENS to 5/6. Since then, however, the punters seem to have moved to the WWE World Champion - Randy Orton - as his number has moved from 5/6 down to 4/6.

All other match odds remain as they were this morning (Read this morning's post).

I plan to have another look through the odds tomorrow. In the meantime, you can check them out through the link below.

  1. It doesn't make sense for Bayley/Sasha to be a secondary feud b/c secondary Women's feuds gets treated very poorly. Plus Bayley has a rematch, can't go straight to feuding with Sasha anyway. Plus secondary babyfaces w/o Sasha are weak. Mickie didn't even make tv. It's bad booking to go down that road. Very messy & unsettled. They've been guilty of bad booking before, obv.

    1. Sasha doesn't have to make Bayley lose the title by turning on her..

      Delete
    2. Why do people assume Bayley/Sasha is the feud Vince wants to go with. Been pretty obvious the last 3 weeks Alexa/Sasha is being built

      Delete
    3. It has been reported that Sasha vs Bayley is a plan for SummerSlam.

      Delete
    4. No. It's been speculated, dirt sheets have zero clue what plans actually are. Which the only place that has actually reported it is Sportkeeda and they have been found out as nothing but a gossip site and has 100% miss rate. In fact Jim Ross exposed them this week.

    5. What you wrote about Sportskeeda is absolutely correct. The stories that I've read on there from people who claim to have 'sources' are made up.

      However - the Sasha vs Bayley report did not start at Sportskeeda. I read it in the Observer months ago.

  2. Is Orton vs Wyatt for WWE championship... Most of the websites are calling it as non title match

    What about Samoa Joe's chances of winning.....

    1. The TV and WWE.com hasn't said it is, so I'm going with it not being a title match.

      With Mahal having stole the belt, Orton shouldn't have it on him now.
