A market, which was published by the Kambi oddsmakers last Thursday, opened with the favourites at 1/16, so they're evidently being backed to get the W over Charlotte Flair and Bobby Roode.
As a result of the interest in Asuka and The Miz, the outsiders have drifted out from 6/1 into 7/1.

The match market is one of three available for the final. Customers also have the opportunity to bet on the gender that will start off the match. They can also have a punt on the gender that'll legally be in the ring when the winners are determined.
Betting on the gender to start of the match was interesting.

As you can see, the option to wager on the 'Females' to begin proceedings was a 7/10 favourite when it was first installed. I thought the oddsmakers had the wrong favourites because - with Charlotte Flair and Asuka going at it this Sunday - I would have the pair kept apart at the opening stages of the tag match and then lead to them squaring off after Miz and Roode have kicked things off. To prolong their first meeting of the week, if you will.
After writing the post where I suggested the Females were the wrong favourites, the odds for 'Male' was soon cut into 17/20 and is now down to 7/10.
Another suggestion I had for tomorrow's match is a little more unlikely, but I thought it was worth a gamble and this was to bet on the Females being involved in the conclusion of the match.
'Females' opened the 'Gender of Decision' market at 2/1. I thought it was worth a punt at this price because I have an idea where Asuka gets the decision for her team over Charlotte Flair, so this would plant the thought in fans' heads that Flair will end up losing her WWE Smackdown Women's Championship to the 2018 Women's Royal Rumble winner on Sunday only for Asuka to win the match via disqualification before Carmella cashes in her Money in the Bank contract against Flair and have Carmella finish off the week as champ.
My idea has a lot of holes. The main one being it would see Flair lose three times in six days, but I still thought it was worth a gamble at 2s when I wrote about it at the end of last week.

The betting has also gone with the 'Female' selection as it has now been snipped into 7/4. This obviously helps who may disagree with my idea and believe that the finish will involve the males.
I would like to point out that with regards to Carmella cashing in at Wrestlemania against Asuka/Charlotte, SkyBet has an option up for that now, and has her priced at the time of this comment at 11/10, or +110 if her cash in is successful (as in she wins the title).
