    That jumped out at me, will wait to see what price the other books go on points, think that is sure fire winner and we should be able to get 6/4 or better hopefully.

    I think at the moment volume alone is enough to cause Sturm problems. Zbik threw a lot of punches against Chavez, and if the Murray fight is anything to go by the judges aren't in Sturm's pocket quite like they used to be.

    Do you think zbik's style would cause more problems than Murray or Macklin? Macklin threw everything but the kitchen sink at him and he still didn't get the decision?!

    Well I think Sturm is on the slide a bit.

    Murray didn't do all that much and got a draw. Depends how you look at it. It's hard to predict what way the 3 blind men will go.

    Taken from oddschecker. 3rd highest betting event of the day yesterday.:rofl

    The gamble taken by Sky Bet to offer odds for the first time ever on last night's WrestleMania XXVIII paid off in style, with unprecedented levels of interest shown in the event.

    Sky Bet report bumper turnover on the eight-match card with WrestleMania their third most popular betting event of the day after the two live Premier League football matches between Newcastle United and Liverpool and Tottenham and Swansea.

    Sky Bet's pro-wrestling expert Ben Wright said: "We were bowled over by the amount of interest and buzz around the odds and all in all, it was a very successful first foray into wrestling betting. We look forward to locking horns with the punters at next year's WrestleMania!"

    As many as 78,353 fans descended on the Sun Life Stadium in Florida for the annual extravaganza and UK fans were able to watch the four-hour spectacle live on Sky Sports Box Office. Sky Bet offered odds on all eight bouts and managed to break even on the night, despite some unfavourable results.

    The first result to punish the bookie was Kane's upset of Randy Orton. Kane opened at 10/3, but was backed into 9/4. He duly obliged for punters, as he choke slammed Orton for the upset win.

    The biggest betting event of the night was unsurprisingly the headline bout between The Rock and John Cena. The Rock had been heavily supported all week by Sky Bet customers, who moved his price from 6/4 to 5/6. The most electrifying man in sports entertainment pulled off the win, delivering his signature 'Rock Bottom' move to the delight of Sky Bet's punters.

    The best result of the night for Sky Bet was Undertaker's victory over Triple H. Customers had piled into Triple H, backing him down to 5/2 from 13/2 to end the Phenom's unbeaten WrestleMania streak of 19 matches but it wasn't to be and Sky Bet traders breathed a sigh of relief as the Undertaker tombstoned Helmsley taking his winning streak to 20-0.

    Betfred priced up Webb at 9/4 against Hall, probably a palp but have a go if you want.
