Of the four eligible markets for the show, two have had signs of movement while the others haven't.
WWE Smackdown Women's Champion, Sasha Banks, has been a -305 favourite to beat her challenger, Carmella (+225), since at least Tuesday morning.
The other market that has been stationary since the start of the week has been the one for the WWE Championship.
Drew McIntyre is -565 to defeat AJ Styles (+375) in the TLC Match and retain his title.
The other Tables, Ladders and Chairs match has Roman Reigns defending the WWE Universal Championship against Kevin Owens.
Following Friday's episode of WWE Smackdown, Kevin Owens - who was once again beaten up by Reigns and Jey Uso - had a price snip from +1,000 into +700. The champion, who had been -2,000, is now at -1,500.
Kevin Owens' final words on the show indicated that he would either win the title or die trying. Therefore, I surmise a punter - or punters - took a gamble on the challenger at the long odds just in case Owens follows through on his first promise and not the second part of his sentence which could be read as a potential stunt bump that would result in him losing the match.
Assumptions could also be made of the price adjustments in the Randy Orton versus Bray Wyatt market.
Randy Orton's odds to beat Bray Wyatt - in their meeting - lowered from +220 into +170 by 12:30PM GMT on Friday. This move coincides with the announcement that the bout will now be a 'Firefly Inferno Match'.
If this match is styled in the way of previous inferno contests, and not a cinematic match filmed in a different location, then Wyatt could lose by having one of his garments set up to catch alight.
Orton's price was reduced into +155 by 10PM GMT yesterday while his rival has moved up from -300 to -230 and to -195 since the match stipulation was announced.
A friend of mine has backed Orton and came up with an idea that I thought I would share.
He reckons that Orton could have Alexa Bliss in his arms (as has been done in angles between Orton and Wyatt during their feud) and threaten to throw Bliss into the fire. My friend's idea would see Wyatt saving Bliss by setting himself on fire which would ultimately lose him the match.
The only other market available on the 5Dimes website is the one for the now changed WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match. 'Lana' is still listed as Asuka's partner.
Prices correct as of 10AM GMT and at the time of publishing today. The latest odds can be found on The 5Dimes Website.
