Big Shift In Royal Rumble Betting Odds, Former World Champion Favored To Win

The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, and Bill Goldberg are all competing in the Royal Rumble match on Sunday, and WWE has been heavily promoting the big stars on TV as of late. Apparently that promotion has paid off, as Goldberg is now listed as the most likely to win the Royal Rumble match with +250 odds. Last week Goldberg was sitting at +1200 betting odds.

Oddshark updated their rankings last night after Raw, and there has been some movement in the top positions. Undertaker is listed at 3rd place with +300 odds, while Brock Lesnar is listed in the 8th place slot with +1600 odds.

Before last night Braun Strowman was listed as the odds-on favorite to win the Royal Rumble match, but he has slipped to 4th place with +350 odds. The second most likely superstar to win the Royal Rumble match is currently Randy Orton with +300 odds, whereas Finn Balor and Samoa Joe still sit pretty high on the list at the 5th and 6th slots respectively with +500 and +600 odds. Chris Jericho also has a pretty high spot in the 7th position where he is currently listed as having +1200 odds of pulling out a win out of the Royal Rumble Match.

The Miz is currently listed in 9th place with +1800 betting odds. Baron Corbin, John Cena, and Seth Rollins all share +2000 odds directly behind 9th place. This is a curious note considering that these odds were updated last night after Rollins lost his slot to participate in the Royal Rumble to Sami Zayn. Zayn currently has +2500 odds of winning.

Another interesting note is that in spite of all the press which would lead some to think the contrary, Kenny Omega still has +5000 odds of winning the Royal Rumble this Sunday. +5000 odds might be a long-shot, but it is still much higher than Rusev’s current odds, which are +8000.

It is important to remember that if the Royal Rumble pay-per-view is in fact 4 hours this Sunday then the actual Royal Rumble match is likely to be a lengthy one, therefore anything can happen at the Rumble.

If you decide to put money on this predetermined sports entertainment event, please remember to bet responsibly.
