Note About The Smackdown Women's Championship Markets

I've just been asked by three people what the 5Dimes odds are for the Smackdown Women's Championship match for SummerSlam.

They're still at the same prices as earlier today.

Carmella is -110 while 'The Field' versus the titleholder is at -130.

The individual prices for the other competitors are +205 for Becky Lynch and +245 for Charlotte Flair.

The panic appears to be because Sky Bet has possibly taken wagers on Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair and this moved Carmella to 3/1 (now 5/2).

If my assumption is correct, it's possibly because 'The Field' is technically the favourite over Carmella and the punters have backed both Flair and Lynch.

As I've written leading up to today, if Carmella isn't the favourite to win this match, the second-favourite should be Charlotte Flair and not Becky Lynch. A Flair victory would further the simmering tension between Lynch and Flair after the latter was added to the title match a few weeks ago.

I'll return with a full 5Dimes update soon.
