Royal Rumble Odds: Surge In Wagers For Tyson Fury Winning The Royal Rumble
WWE Betting: Daniel Bryan is the favorite in the Royal Rumble Odds market but bettors are chancing much juicier options
The Royal Rumble is one of the most entertaining nights on the sports calendar. Regardless of your opinions of the WWE, it’s impossible not to be enticed by 30 huge men trying to throw each other out of a ring. It really is quality viewing.
Last year’s Royal Rumble didn’t disappoint, Brock Lesnar eliminated 13 men before being disregarded by the eventual winner Drew McIntyre. There’s no doubt there will be a similar amount of mayhem in the 2021 Royal Rumble, but betting patterns suggest viewing could become even more interesting.
Firstly, online bettors are backing a major upset in the Royal Rumble. As mentioned, Daniel Bryan is the favorite to win the elimination match, and his odds (5/4) suggest there’s a 44.4% chance of winning. However, there’s one wrestler who has received more bets from the public.

Bryan and Nakamura are the favorites with online bettors, however, this is where the real intrigue starts. Tyson Fury has been the third most wagered person to win the Royal Rumble this year.
