Notes About WWE Crown Jewel 2021 Betting Markets

Here are some notes I've made about the betting markets for today's WWE Crown Jewel 2021 event.

This isn't as in-depth as I usually try to make these comparison posts, but I hope it is of some interest.

The Usos .vs. The Hurt Business
From the betting websites I've been following odds for the event, Kambi is the only firm with a market for the Kick Off match.

WWE Smackdown Tag Team Champions - The Usos - are 1/20 favourites over their opponents.  A win for the challengers will pay out at 7/1.

Mansoor .vs. Mustafa Ali
Unsurprisingly, Mansoor is a heavy favourite to win another match in Saudi Arabia.

Sky Bet was the first company I noticed with a market for the match. It had Mansoor at 1/33 to Mustafa Ali's 10/1. The odds have since changed with Ali lowered into 6/1 and Mansoor now at 1/12. It's worth noting that - even though Mansoor should win - I thought 10/1 was worth a £2 gamble for an upset so that may have been why Ali's odds were trimmed.

Over on the BetOnline website, the favourite has been backed from -1,000 into -1,400.

RK-Bro .vs. AJ Styles and Omos
Kambi's market for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship has sided with the champs. 

RK-Bro have dropped from 2/13 into 1/14 since betting began last week.

A win for AJ Styles and Omos is now 11/2. It was initially 7/2.

Sky Bet's market has seen the champs backed from 1/2 into 1/16 within a little over a fortnight.

Queen's Crown and King of the Ring Finals
If you've visited this blog over the past few weeks, you may have seen that I have been covering Sky Bet's outright markets for both the Queen's Crown and King of the Ring tournaments.

Sky Bet's outright winner markets have now closed. However, the company has published regular match markets for the two finals.

King of the Ring 2021 Tournament Final Odds

When I came across the market for the King of the Ring final yesterday afternoon, I noticed that Xavier Woods was 4/5 and Finn Balor was 10/11. 

Upon this morning's visit, I noticed there had been a flip with Balor now 4/5 to Woods' 10/11.

The Queen's Crown match is unchanged from when I came across it yesterday. It lists Doudrop as a 4/7 favourite over Zelina Vega (5/4).

Bill Goldberg .vs. Bobby Lashley
The first adjustment in Kambi's market for Goldberg versus Bobby Lashley surprised me because the latter's odds slightly moved in from 7/2 into 3/1. As a result of this, Goldberg's price - as the match favourite - was moved to 1/5 from 2/13.


Goldberg is now at 1/8 while Lashley is 4/1.

You'll notice that something similar happened with Sky Bet's market with the early decline siding with Lashley and then the late betting on the fave.

Big E .vs. Drew McIntyre
Big E is a short-priced favourite to successfully retain the WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre.

Sky Bet has the champ at 1/20 to McIntyre's 8/1 while Kambi has Big E at 1/40 and his challenger at 8/1.

WWE Smackdown Women's Championship Triple Threat
Sky Bet was the first market I came across for Becky Lynch's WWE Smackdown Women's Title defence against Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks.


Sasha Banks was initially 5/1. I thought that - considering she will be the only member of the Smackdown roster in the match, when the draft chances take place from tomorrow - it was worth having a gamble on Banks. That may have been one of the reasons why her price was lowered early.

As of most recently, it appears as though the punters are siding with Bianca Belair because the former Smackdown Champion's odds have lowered since she challenged Charlotte Flair for Raw's version of the title on Monday. Belair winning the Smackdown strap tonight would set up a rematch - this time in a champion versus champion contest - next month at the Survivor Series even though - in that scenario - the titles would be held by ladies from the other brand.

Edge .vs. Seth Rollins
Kambi's market for the Edge versus Seth Rollins Hell in a Cell match started off with Rollins dipping from 3/1 into 2/1. This moved match favourite - Edge - up from 1/5 to 1/3. From there, however, a slide began for the favourite. He landed into 1/9 - from 2/13 - sometime before 10:15AM BST today.

Roman Reigns .vs. Brock Lesnar
The Universal Championship markets tell a similar tale if you compare the odds from a couple of the websites here in Europe, but then there's a slightly different take overseas.

Both Kambi and Sky Bet opened with the early interest coming in on the titleholder.

You'll notice that, in both examples above, that the later adjustments have been landing on the side of the challenger.

BetOnline's market slightly contrasts that narrative.

The early drop - just like at Kambi and Sky Bet - went the way of Roman Reigns because he was placed at -220 from -200 while Lesnar rose to +155 from +150. Lesnar then fell back into +150 before the recent drops have sided with Reigns.
