Today, I look at the betting trends leading up to WWE Money in the Bank. To review the trends leading up to this point, please review the first article in this series here.
In part 2, we look at the odds 15 days out, 7 days out, and 24 hours before to see if anything has changed.
Two things before we get into the odds for Money in the Bank: (1) Betting odds for WWE represent possible spoilers. While it is not a certainty, they are right more often than not. So if you don’t want to be spoiled, stop reading now! (2) A quick reminder of how American betting odds work in case you are used to another format:
A “favorite” is given a negative number. This is the amount of money that needs to be placed on that competitor to win $100. For example, if someone is a -300 favorite, you need to bet $300 to potentially win $100. If you win the bet, you get $400 back (your original $300 and your $100 profit). If you lose the bet, you lose your $300. -300 = 1/3 in fractional odds.
An “underdog” is given a positive number. This is the amount of money you will WIN so long as you bet $100. For example, if someone is a +450 underdog, you need to bet $100 to potentially win $450. If you win the bet, you get $550 back (your original $100 and your $450 profit). If you lose the bet, you lose your $100. +450 = 9/2 in fractional odds.

Roman Reigns (-450) vs. Jinder Mahal (+300)
Daniel Bryan (-120) vs. Big Cass (-110)
Bobby Lashley (-400) vs. Sami Zayn (+225)
Kevin’s Thoughts: Money in the Bank is taking shape and there doesn’t appear to be many surprises in the odds. The Miz and Natalya remain favorites in their respective Money in the Bank matches. Ronda Rousey has gone from 50/50 odds to about 70/30 odds. Carmella has made up some ground over the last 7 days but is still an underdog to Asuka.
Perhaps the most interesting line is now AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura… 4? Shinsuke opened at an underdog but he has crawled all the way from +175 to +150 and now all the way down to -110. All the money is pouring in on Shinsuke to capture the championship here. There have been rumors that this rivalry will continue into August so perhaps having Shinsuke as champion would give the rivalry the boost that it needs.
The Bludgeon Brothers, Seth Rollins, and Bobby Lashley all are still big favorites. Big Cass seems to be getting more love for his rematch against Daniel Bryan and will be one to watch as the event draws closer.
