A Belated Hypothetical Proposition Post For Lesnar .vs. Mahal

In the days leading up to WWE Tables, Ladders and Chairs 2017, I got in touch with my friend who works in the betting industry and asked him what prices he would give to the upcoming Survivor Series match between WWE Universal Champion - Brock Lesnar - and WWE Champion, Jinder Mahal if her were to price up a market. He gave me his hypothetical prices and I planned to publish a post writing about his response in the days following TLC 2017.

The plan backfired because the Kambi oddsmakers beat us to it by releasing his own real prices for the November 19th battle of the champions.

Still - it put this blogger in an interesting position because it allowed me to compare my friend's prices to the Kambi oddsmaker's for today's post.

My friend believes that Brock Lesnar will go over at the PPV and would therefore give 'The Beast' odds of 1/12. His reasoning is because Lesnar hasn't lost to names like Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman since winning the Universal Championship and he believes that they won't have Lesnar lose with the big plan for him to meet his match against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 34.

With Lesnar at 1/12, this would put the WWE Champion - Jinder Mahal - at 6/1.

Kambi's odds for the match were published on Saturday morning. The trader also had Brock Lesnar as a short-priced favourite to get a decision over the WWE Champ as he opened at 2/13.

A win for Mahal in the real-life pricing was put up at 7/2 before being taken down ahead of TLC 2017.

My takeaway from seeing both sets of prices is that the oddsmakers believe the Survivor Series meeting isn't going to be close and Lesnar will do what he has done with every challenger since lifting the WWE Universal Title.
