Notes About Kambi's WWE 2021 Draft Markets

Here are some notes about the WWE Draft betting markets from Kambi that I first wrote about in this post from yesterday afternoon.

Big E, Orton and Riddle's Markets Taken Off The Board

Last night, Kambi suspended betting on the draft markets for Big E, Randy Orton and Riddle.

A friend of mine had noticed that Big E's price to be on the Raw roster following the draft had slid in from 7/10 into 11/20 by 6:30PM BST last night. Then. at around 10PM BST, the market had been removed completely.

The Orton and Riddle markets had no apparent changes made to them before their removal at around the same time as Big E's.

Orton was 5/2 to be aligned with Smackdown following the draft. He was 1/4 to still be on Raw.

The same pricing was applied to the market for Riddle.

Priest and Nakamura Adjustments

The markets for Damian Priest and Shinsuke Nakamura's brand status following the draft were also changed yesterday evening. I've linked these two names together because they're currently the US and Intercontinental Champions respectively. WWE does have a tendency to switch champions in the drafts.

The 'Smackdown' selection, in Priest's market, has been lowered from 7/2 into 19/10 while the option for him to remain a part of the red brand has remained a favourite albeit with a now better price of 7/20 from 2/13.

'Raw' - in the King Nakamura market - has slipped into 5/2 from 3/1. The option to gamble on him still being a member of the Smackdown roster following the draft is a 1/4 favourite. However, it was previously 1/5.

I had backed 'Smackdown' for Damian Priest and 'Raw' for Nakamura when the market was first published on Saturday afternoon. The reason why I made those bets is because of the trend I noted above where titleholders have been switched across brands during many drafts in the past.

Alexa Bliss' Odds To Move To Smackdown Lowered

Another market I bet on Saturday afternoon was the one which allows customers to gamble on which brand Alexa Bliss will be a member of following the draft.

At 5/2, I felt 'Smackdown' was worth a gamble despite Bliss contending for the WWE Raw Women's Championship before the draft takes place. The selection was cut into 2/1 last night.

More About Rollins and Lynch

In yesterday's post, I mentioned having gambled on both Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch to be associated with Raw following the draft.

Both of those markets have reduced yet again.

As you can see, 'Raw' has been shortened from 3/1 into 5/2 for both wrestlers. 'Smackdown' remains a favourite, but it has risen up slightly from their previous prices of 1/5 to 1/4.

Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks To Raw Lowered

Another thing I wrote about in yesterday's post is how I believe that - if Bianca Belair does not regain the WWE Smackdown Women's Championship against Becky Lynch at Extreme Rules 2021 - that it would not surprise me if she gets an 'out' by being shifted to Raw. 

I gambled on 'Raw' at the 7/5 on Saturday afternoon, but it wasn't until last night when the selection was snipped. It is currently 11/10.

Those who expect Belair to still be on Smackdown from October can now get the selection at 13/20. This is up from 1/2.

With their SummerSlam match cancelled, Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks have unfinished business. Therefore, it could explain why Sasha Banks' odds to also move to Raw were shortened yesterday.

Kambi is now offering even money for Banks to be on the red brand following the draft. The selection started out at 23/20 on Saturday.

Sasha to still be on the Smackdown roster has moved up from 8/13 to 7/10.
