Now that it's less than a fortnight until WWE WrestleMania 42, I thought it's about time for me to go through BetOnline's markets for the event to point out where the land lies for each selection.
In this post, I'll go all of the markets available from the sportsbook and highlight how the odds have moved across the past few weeks. Any further updates over the upcoming thirteen days will refer back to today's starting point.
I'll begin with the latest market to be added to BetOnline's coverage of the show.
Six-Man Tag Team Match
While not confirmed so far, it looks highly likely that IShowSpeed will be a reluctant tag team partner of The Vision's Logan Paul and Austin Theory as they take on The Usos and LA Knight.
BetOnline has priced up a market for the potential six-man tag. When I checked in yesterday afternoon - and first found the odds - the sportsbook was offering The Vision and IShowSpeed as slight -130 favourites over the -110 for The Usos and Knight.
Close to twenty-four hours later, those odds have flipped with The Uso and LA Knight now -130 over their opposition.
As noted, going by last week's Raw, I surmise IShowSpeed will be a reluctant partner of Paul and Theory. That leads me to suspect it'll play into the finish of the match with the social media star somehow ending the contest in celebration with The Usos and Knight.
Gunther .vs. Seth Rollins
Another newer market to BetOnline's WrestleMania offering is the one for Gunther versus Seth Rollins, which was set up a week ago when Gunther attacked Rollins on the Raw from Madison Square Garden.
A market for the bout was published within a day. Gunther was priced as a -200 fave over the +150 for Rollins. Across the past week, the punters have evidently backed the favourite because the Austrian is now into -500 while Rollins' price has increased to +300.
WWE Women's Tag Team Championship
Current WWE Women's Tag Team Champs - The Irresistible Forces - were favourites to successfully retain their straps in the fatal four-way match when BetOnline priced up a market for the contest last week.
The first case was for the Bella Twins. Their odds were lowered from +200 into +125 sometime between Tuesday evening and Wednesday afternoon. Then, over the weekend, I found Bayley and Lyra Valkyria had dipped into +275, from +550. As I was making notes, I even caught their odds drop into +120 live that very afternoon.
Today's drop has sided with Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair. They had started out at +600, but moved up to +900 over the week. They have since been lowered into +800.
Finn Balor .vs. Dominik Mysterio
Another market which was priced up last week is for the grudge match between Fin Balor and Dominik Mysterio.
BetOnline had Balor as a -300 fave to Dirty Dom's +200 on Tuesday. By Thursday, the latter was down to +185 but returned to +200, before leaping out to +250, over the weekend.
Mysterio's drifting has been caused by Balor seemingly being backed from -275 into -400.
WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship
BetOnline created a market for AJ Lee's Women's Intercontinental Title defence against Becky Lynch almost two weeks ago. At the time, they had Lee +300 to Lynch's -500.
The first couple of adjustments sided with the champ because Lee fell into +250 a couple of days later. Then, the following evening, I caught her selection at +225.
Lynch remained the favourite, but her odds improved to -350 over those three days. By Monday 30th March, both selections were back to where they were five days previous.
The most recent shift occurred over the weekend. It saw the titleholder's price snipped into +275. Those looking to gamble on Lynch can presently catch her as a -450 fave.
WWE United States Championship
Trick Williams is a favourite to beat WWE United States Champion, Sami Zayn, in a singles match at WrestleMania.
I point that out because there are still two episodes of Smackdown to shoehorn former holder - Carmelo Hayes - into the match even though, on last week's Smackdown, he lost a title shot against Zayn seemingly leaving Hayes out of the US Title picture at Mania.
Above are the prices for a Zayn .vs. Williams singles match for the strap. As you can see, the first adjustment I was able to catch had Zayn's selection snipped into +275 from +300. However, a couple of days later, Williams' price moved into -475 from -450.
Unsanctioned Match
The bettors have sided with Jacob Fatu to overcome his nemesis - Drew McIntyre - when they meet in an unsanctioned match during WrestleMania Weekend.
Fatu's odds descended from -500 into -625 between Sunday March 29th and this past Sunday. As a result, those looking for a punt on McIntyre can now grab him at +375. That's up from +300.
WWE Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match
Penta will defend the WWE Intercontinental Championship in a five-man ladder match during the two-night event.
The champ was odds-on to win when I began following the betting last Tuesday. He has since moved out due to interest coming in on Je'Von Evans, who dropped from +170 into -165 in three days.
For those keeping records - Evans winning will mean he'll become the youngest Intercontinental Champion in WWE history. He'll turn 22 a little over a week after this match.With that said, the most recent price shift has seen Penta's odds to retain lower from +100 into -110.
BetOnline emailed the odds for the Oba Femi versus Brock Lesnar clash on March 18th. At the time, the sportsbook listed the former as a -350 favourite over Lesnar's +225.
WWE Women's Championship
The market for Jade Cargill's WWE Women's Championship defence against Rhea Ripley has been available for five weeks. As you'll be able to view below, the challenger was -300 on March 2nd and was down into -350 by March 21st. On the other side of the market, Cargill rose to +225 from +200.
The last couple of movements I recorded had the champ backed from +325 into +300 on March 31st but then the odds for Morgan dropped into -550, from -500, ahead of last weekend.
The most recent cuts began on March 22nd. It resulted in CM Punk lowering from +300 into +275 by the evening of Sunday March 22nd. That began a fall which now sees the champ at +190 while his challenger is -290.
