Nick Kyrgios winning against Aryna Sabalenka in the high;u anticipated "Battle of the Sexes" match on Sunday at 11 am ET pays out US$100, one must wager US$500. Looking at this in another way, you would realize a US$100 profit for every US$500 bet. That US$500 is returned, or kept in your account, provided the bet is a winner.
Some would argue that the risk vs. reward ratio is especially high here, and they would probably be right. Others might contend Kyrgios is still being offered up at a decent enough price.
Aryna Sabalenka pays US$340 for every US$100 bet.
The exhibition between Kyrgios and Sabalenka offers a modern, rule-adjusted take on the 'Battle of the Sexes' concept. Unlike the historic 1973 match—where Billie Jean King's decisive win over Bobby Riggs on a standard court became a pivotal moment in the fight for tour equality and equal pay—this contest is purely a spectacle, separate from the official tours.
Of course, where there are two or more competing, no matter what their genders, there will be wagering. BetOnline.ag has set odds for the match, and also created a few interesting prop bets surrounding the spectacle.
Because this is an exhibition, not all sportsbooks will be taking bets on it. They are clearly missing out. Gambling911.com has seen 7344 impressions for this match thus far, making it the most trafficked event over the last 24 hours.
“I’d be lying if I said I’m not a bit nervous," Nick Kyrgios said ahead of the big match that will have the world watching. "I can’t wait to step on the court. I know the whole world will be watching us.”
I’m really excited," Sabalenka offered. "This match is competitive, fun and on a big stage, so I’m really looking forward to it."
