As they tend to do for PPVs, SkyBet are taking bets on the Royal Rumble. I like to check the odds for it, since they're often quite fun.
Alberto Del Rio vs. Big Show Albert Del Rio (this is how they spelled it on the site) is 1/8 to beat Big Show, with Show 9/2.
Team Hell No vs. Rhodes Scholars Team Hell No are 4/1 to win, with The Rhodes Scholars (I thought they were Team Rhodes Scholars) 1/7 favourites. Interesting one.
CM Punk vs. The Rock No surprise to see CM Punk at 9/4 with The Rock 1/3 favourite. Would be good to see CM Punk do a Cena and actually overcome the odds.
The Royal Rumble Going to do these separately as a list there's a lot.
John Cena - 8/11 Ryback - 3/1 Randy Orton - 6/1 Dolph Ziggler - 6/1 Sheamus - 10/1 The Miz - 16/1 The Undertaker - 16/1 Brock Lesnar - 16/1 The Rock - 16/1 Antonio Cesaro - 20/1 Daniel Bryan - 20/1 CM Punk - 25/1 Alberto Del Rio - 25/1 Damien Sandow - 33/1 The Big Show - 33/1 Cody Rhodes - 33/1 Roman Reigns - 40/1 Chris Jericho - 40/1 Kane - 40/1 Wade Barrett - 40/1 Seth Rollins - 40/1 Dean Ambrose - 40/1 MVP - 50/1 John Morrison - 50/1 Kofi Kingston - 50/1 Rey Mysterio - 66/1 Shelton Benjamin - 66/1 Steve Austin - 100/1 Heath Slater - 175/1 Darren Young - 200/1 The Road Dogg - 200/1 Jinder Mahal - 200/1 Titus O'Neil - 200/1 Drew McIntyre - 200/1 Billy Gunn - 200/1 Brodus Clay - 250/1 Justin Gabriel - 250/1 The Great Khali - 250/1 Michael McGillicutty - 300/1 Jey Uso - 300/1 Zack Ryder - 300/1 Jimmy Uso - 300/1
Interesting to see that they've put surprise entrants in there, especially above a lot of the main roster. They also have Rock as more of a favourite than Punk in the Rumble, despite having him favourite to win the title, same with ADR.

CM Punk to win. Easy money.

I put a quid on Punk to win the Rumble. You never know right?

Why are Rhodes Scholars favorites?

you can put an each way bet on the rumble, so if your guy is the final 3 you win. there's some long odds for guys like wade barrett or kane. might be worth a punt

I love how random guesses at surprise Rumble Entrants have higher odds of winning than Zach Ryder.
Christ, Stone Cold hasn't wrestled in eons and his odds of showing up and winning are 3 times better than Ryder's.

Ryback at 3/1 is a good tip.

Too bad the maximum bets on these are so low otherwise you could make some nice $ on a few of these.

I've took a few punts on this, only small ones but some nevertheless. £1 on Punk to win the title match, £2 on Ryback to win the rumble and £2 on Team Hell No to win. Could get £21.25 back if they all win.

Another bookie offers odds of 200/1 on AJ Lee and Ricardo so they officially have a better chance of main-eventing WM than Zack Ryder.
I'm genuinely confused as to why every bookie has Team Hell No at such long odds, have I missed a spoiler? Even if they're not favourites I thought their odds would be shorter.

I remember when Michael Cole had ridiculously low odds against Lawler at mania and still won. A friend who had put money on him as a joke was marking out so hard.
Ryder's odds are...kind of sad. But they are ridiculous enough I almost want to place a bet on him because that's genuinely hilarious.

Me thinks it's because Team Hell No have been dominating Rhodes Scholars for weeks, which indicates that Rhodes Scholars will "get an upset win" over thd champs on Sunday.

I got a free bet from Sky with their 'mystery' thing. Since it was free I put it on Punk to win the Rumble. Why not, eh? If I win I get £75, barring T&C.

Considering his Battle Royal track record and adding the fact that Santino may be out, Ryder might be a good bet for that "top 3" bet the other poster mentioned.

I hope the Final 3 are Cena, Orton and Ryder... Cena shrugs to the crowd, picks up Ryder and throws him like a football to eliminate Orton.

Paddy Power are giving odds on Kane overtaking HBK's all time eliminations record as well. 21/10 on 3 or less, 3/1 on exactly 3 and 4/9 on more than 4.

Can someone explain odds to me?, complete novice when it comes to betting?, what does 1/3 mean?, and 300/1? and any other variations, can you place bets in a shop for Sky?, hmm
