WWE WrestleMania 35 Main Event: Far-too-early Betting Trends

WWE WrestleMania 35 Main Event: Far-too-early Betting Trends

Today, I look at the betting trends leading up to… WrestleMania 35. While the event is still a little under 11 months away, some sportsbooks are taking bets on what will be the main event of the show. My hope is to provide a monthly update on this so we can watch how the trend changes (or not) over the course of the year.

Two things before I get into the odds for WrestleMania 35: (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.
