G1 Climax 33: Night 12 Betting Notes And Results

The penultimate round of this year's G1 Climax - for Blocks C and D - will take place today. 

In this post, I'll point out how the betting has gone on the BetOnline website leading up to the start of the event and then share the results as they happen.

Here are the closing odds for all eight matches on the card.

Of those eight markets, half of them were showing differing prices when contrasted with how they opened.

The opening match will have Hiroshi Tanahashi enter against Alex Coughlin as a -150 favourite. When the market kicked off - on Monday morning - Tanahashi was a -140 fave.

Coughlin closed at +110, but started out at a slightly lower +100.

As you can see above, it appears as though a bettor, or bettors, have sided with underdog Hirooki Goto for his D Block meeting with Jeff Cobb.

Goto moved in from +350 to +250 while Cobb's price, as the favourite, moved up from -600 to -400.

Cobb will be coming off his first loss in the tourney, but Goto - on four points - would need to go over in order to still have a chance of making the playoffs.

If Tetsuya Naito is going to make it out of the D Block, he would need to pick up another two points to take him to eight points. Most importantly, a win today would give him a tiebreak over Zack Sabre Junior, who is currently on eight.

Naito's price as a favourite has lowered from -140 into -160 since Monday. On the other side of the market, ZSJ has moved out from +100 to +120.

Shingo Takagi is another wrestler who needs a victory today to still remain in the hunt. He meets David Finlay in the main event.

Finlay is on eight points and Takagi is holding five. A win for Takagi would move him to seven points, so he would still need to win against EVIL on Tuesday to be in with a chance. A victory over Finlay and EVIL might be enough to get out of C Block.

Results

• Alex Coughlin beat Hiroshi Tanahashi in the opener. This result leaves the latter on six points and Coughlin moves to 4
• Mikey Nicholls beat EVIL in what I consider an expected result because the final night of C Block needed EVIL .vs. Takagi to have some importance (if Takagi wins tonight, of course). As far as the points go: Nicholls is now on four and EVIL remains at 8
• Toru Yano won against Shane Haste. Yano now on four points, Haste still on four
• Henare beat Tomohiro Ishii. This moves Henare to four points. Ishii still only has the one win and will meet Mikey Nicholls on Tuesday while Henare faces Tama Tonga
• The bettor/s who backed Hirooki Goto will be happy to know that their wagers have paid off. Goto has moved to six points, Cobb remains at 8
• Eddie Kingston beat Tama Tonga to get to eight points. Tama Tonga stays on seven points. Interesting
• Naito got the much-needed win against Zack Sabre Jr. to send him to eight points ahead of next week's final group match against Hiroshi Tanahashi. ZSJ - also on eight - will meet Goto, who - as you saw earlier - is on six
• Shingo Takagi did indeed win the final match of the night. He now moves to seven points ahead of the August 8th match with EVIL. David Finlay, who stays on 8, will meet Eddie Kingston on that night
