it's going to happen!
roman reigns, second favourite to win the rumble and current champion is entrant number 1

Loads of money on HHH, H/u at the end?

Not sure it will be Reigns vs HhH at the end. If they are going to set up Reigns vs HhH for WM don't they take the belt off Reigns as the WM card is going to be so thin (due to current injury list) that fight does not need the title?

HHH will more likely COST Reigns the title in some way, possibly when they are down to 3 left, expect that to be Brock, HHH and Reigns with Brock winnign it and carrying the belt through to WM, with Reigns and HHH fueding up to WM match. Either that or they put it on Bray Wyatt.

Couldnt resist. 16/1 on coral for Bray Wyatt to win the whole damn thing, when it stopped being utterly useless long enough to let me put it on. Now tilting my tits off and shouting at Dean Ambrose. Lets go KO.

Did it happen?!

I read it all 3 times, & I still don't even know what sport they were discussing. Hope everyone got the desired result, though.

Wrestling Tikay

Did it bollocks, hopes were high when Brock Lesnar eliminated Rowan, Harper and Strowman and they jumped back in the ring to eliminate him. Even higher when HHH entered at number 30. Then the WWE writers had some kind of brain fart and went down the easy route, Bray eliminated, only deviating slightly when they removed Reigns with 2 people still left.

Very Boo.

Highlights included debut of AJ Styles and Sami Zayne making the step up from NXT again.

So it's all pre-scripted?

Seriously, some may enjoy the spectacle, & good luck to them, but should we really betting on stuff where the result has already been decided?

I would say it is akin to betting on the ending of a movie or a theatre production that you haven't seen the end of yet!

My friend says he picked the winner of the Royal Rumble the last three years and bet it but he didn't get it this year. He says that the fact that they were fighting for the title also made it harder to predict the narrative.

We may not have seen it, but plenty of people have. And the bookies would know, for sure. Just makes no sense as a betting medium, imo.

For balance, I certainly concede I'm biased, as I don't enjoy WWE, but each to their own & all that.

Watching is one thing, betting is another.

Its a bit of interest isnt it Afterwards I get to bitch and moan about how I know better than the writers if they dont make things go exactly as I see it.

There is only really markets on the biggest events. HHH was the betting favourite for this match, but then The Undertaker was 1/100 when he lost his match at Wrestlemania to Brock Lesnar, so they DO like throwing curveballs in there. Its more about trying to pick what way the narrative is going to go for the next 4 or 5 months.

The way I always say it to people is that loads of people watch Eastenders and the like without complaining it "isnt real" wrestling is no different.

If I want a "bit of interest" and an exciting evening, I'll peruse my private photo collection of these, tyvm.

Australia begin a T20I series at home to India tomorrow morning. Aside from World Cup, not much international T20 is played but in the build up to the World cup in a few months they've scheduled a 3 match series here. Australian top series batsman market is dominated by the obvious names of Finch, Warner and Smith. Given India's weak showing with the ball in the ODI's it seems logical that the top 3 could run up some strong scores. All 3 are around the 3/1 mark. However, Warner and Smith will be rested towards the end of the series (I've read one report that said they'd miss last 2 games, another that said just the last game) to head over to New Zealand in prep for their upcoming tour there. Finch is skipper so it's high likely he'll play all 3 even if they decide to make wholesale changes in game 3. In that case, Finch looks a must bet as he'lll have 3 innings compared to 2 max from the other "big guns".

Of the rest, Maxwell is injured for at least game 1 and they'll only play 5 specialist batsman, so will likely rotate Watson, Shaun Marsh, Lynn and Head so they'll all get 2 knocks to state their claims for the WC squad.

Finch is currently ranked number 1 batsman in the ICC T20I rankings and has been in decent form (8, 71, 21, 107 and 6 in recent ODI's, 65, 13, 72, 36 and 60 in his last 5 Big Bash T20 games). Having an extra innings over possibly all his rivals looks a good spot, 3/1 with beteveryday and betvic is more than fair given the circumstances.

Recommend 25 to return a ton.

The winner of the WWE Royal Rumble, Triple H, opened up 6/5 was supported into 4/5 during the week then the price disintegrated into 1/6 as the show was starting. Make of that what you will.

Really dont understand there being a market on something that is more fixed than tennis. Fred should ban some of these redic 'sports' before it gets out of hand and they start placing bets on celebrities going in a locked house, Leicester winning the League, netball and heaven forbid.....the weather!

Happy 4th Birthday though. Sometimes I just venture in here for the laughs
