Opening Royal Rumble Betting Odds: Surprise Odds, Who's Walking Out As Champion? Debuts Predicted
The early 2016 Royal Rumble odds are in, and there are certainly some interesting lines made. Odds makers go all out for the Rumble, setting dozens of prop bets for entries, records, and the like.
Triple H is favored to win the Royal Rumble, with Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar and Bray Wyatt rounding out the top four. This means Roman Reigns has to literally overcome the odds in order to win the Royal Rumble.
Despite not being advertised the Rumble, Daniel Bryan, Kevin Owens, AJ Styles, The Undertaker, and Finn Balor are all listed in the top ten. While not shown, the 30th spot is the favorite to take home the Rumble win.
Samoa Joe and Sami Zayn are both favored to enter the Rumble match, while Finn Balor, Daniel Bryan and Road Dogg are not. There weren't any odds set on additional possible surprise superstars.
Other prop bets that were set as favored to happen were a wrestler tossed in the first 60 seconds, Reigns eliminating more than Brock Lesnar, never more than 15 stars in the ring at once, and a previous Rumble winner leaving as Champion.

All champions are also predicted to retain their titles. The way a betting line works is that if you take the under (-170), you have to bet $170 to yield $100. If you take the over (+150), a $100 bet would earn you $150.
