Pre-Smackdown Battleground 2017 Odds For July 11th/12th

It's a little under an hour to go before this week's WWE Smackdown begins, so I have had a look over the WWE Battleground 2017 markets to see what the odds are. I will then have another look through tomorrow to see if anything that happens during the show - or on Talking Smack - prompts any moves.

As of the time of publishing there are two sportsbooks with odds. They are 5Dimes and Paddy Power. The Kambi markets were taken down a few hours ago.

I last checked in with the 5Dimes Sportsbook's odds on Tuesday morning. There has been a change between then and now.

Rusev's odds have been on the decline. They were at +280 on Monday, but had fallen to +220 by Tuesday morning. They've now reached +200.

John Cena is still a favourite, but his price has been raised from -400 to -280 since Monday.

Paddy Power is also offering betting on the flag match. Unlike 5Dimes, Paddy Power's market has been stationary since it was published. Rusev is a 5/2 underdog while Cena is 1/4.

A market for the WWE Championship match can also be found on Paddy Power's WWE Betting Page.

Date/Time	Jinder Mahal	Randy Orton
10/7 11:50am	1/2	6/4
11/7 10am	2/5	7/4
12/7 12am	3/10	11/5

As you can see in the table above, every time I've visited the website, I've noticed a change. Each move has been in favour of the WWE Champion - Jinder Mahal - retaining the strap with a decision over Randy Orton in the Punjabi prison match.

I'll return later on today (Wednesday) with another look at these markets to see if anything that happens tonight causes any prices to change.
