Rollins And Lynch Dip In Rumble Betting

The 5Dimes Sportsbook has cut the odds for Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch to win their respective Royal Rumble matches on Sunday night.

As of the time of writing, the sportsbook is listing Rollins as a -260 favourite. This is down from the -150 I noted earlier today.

Becky Lynch - who was at +115 when I last visited the sportsbook - is now down to -120.

Charlotte Flair remains a -150 favourite for now. While - in the men's market - the bookies have increased second-favourite, Braun Strowman, from +230 into +260.

There have been a few changes made to the other markets on the board.

Buddy Murphy has fallen into -260 from -195 for his WWE Cruiserweight Championship defence. Two of his opponents have drifted out. Hideo Itami is now back up to +450 after spending some time at +425 and Akira Tozawa has risen to +900 from +700. Kalisto stalls at +500. Those looking to bet against Murphy can now find 'The Field' at +180 - an increase from +155.

The only other market that is showing price changes is the one for the Universal Championship match.

Brock Lesnar has fallen into -350 from -280. As a result, his challenger - Finn Balor - has been pushed out to +250 from +200.

This is the first evident sign of interest in Lesnar so far. As you can see in the table, Balor's price had been on the descent ever since the market opened.

After watching Raw, I was not surprised to see Balor's price move down because the story has certainly made it look like he has no chance of winning. On top of this, Carmella was scripted to ask R-Truth about potential WrestleMania opponents on Tuesday night. In the backstage segment, Carmella brought up AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan and Brock Lesnar. I don't know whether Balor's name being excluded was on purpose or not.

With that said - knowing of the reports of Lesnar .vs. Rollins at WrestleMania - I have no intention of betting on Finn Balor here.

5Dimes' WWE markets are found under 'Pro Wrestling' on the sportsbook's website. The sportsbook's founder is still missing as of the time of writing - please read this post for most of the details.
