Smackdown's Money in the Bank Match features a healthy mix of veterans and up-and-comers, but who will leave Kansas City with the coveted Blue Briefcase?

The Money in the Bank match has been a WrestleMania spectacle for a number of years now, and as such the perfect candidate to feature in the WWE's current Pay Per View re-branding scheme.

Smackdown's Money in the Bank Ladder Match at Money in the Bank 2010

Smackdown's Money in the Bank match features Two former World Champions, three former Intercontinental/United States Champions, one current Intercontinental Champion, a second generation up and comer, and Dolph Ziggler.

What chance do they all stand?

The Big Show's Chances of Winning at Money in the Bank 2010

In any other match type The Big Show would have to be a favourite (perhaps with the exception of The Royal Rumble, as big guys always get ganged up on), but he just isn't cut out for a Ladder Match.

Show is all about strength, which would obviously come in handy when trying to incapacitate the other seven Superstars in the match, but by the time he finds a ladder able to support his weight and sluggishly clambers to the top, at least one of the other competitors will have recovered.

Odds of Winning : 50/1

Kane's Chances of Winning at Money in the Bank 2010

No one in this match deserves a title push more than The Big Red Machine, but the fact it hasn't happened by now should be proof enough that it's unlikely to ever happen, especially here.

Kane is credible enough to get a title shot without needing a contract, whereas Superstars like Ziggler, Rhodes and Kingston aren't quite at that level yet.

Kane may use this match as an opportunity to interrogate the other seven participants, in his ongoing mission to find out who attacked his brother The Undertaker.

Odds of Winning : 50/1

Matt Hardy's Chances of Winning at Money in the Bank 2010

Zip. Ziltch. Nada. Niente.

It's been a long time since Matt Hardy was in favour with the people behind the scenes in the WWE, and his brother's defection to rival company TNA didn't really help matters.

It can only be a matter of time before Matt joins his brother and long-time friend Shannon Moore in TNA, and although he's sure to add a lot to this match, giving him the briefcase would be a pointless venture.

Odds of Winning : 300/1

Christian's Chances of Winning at Money in the Bank 2010

Christian finds himself somewhere between Kane and Matt Hardy in this match, although with slightly more chance of leaving with the win.

Captain Charisma has been around for a long time now, and although he seems to be planted firmly in the mid-card, it wouldn't be too hard to imagine him being given a Championship match without having to go down the Money in the Bank route.

It'd be a shock if he did take the briefcase, but don't rule it out as a possibility.

Odds of Winning: 20/1

Kofi Kingston's Chances of Winning at Money in the Bank 2010

Kingston is a tough one to call. He's shown good potential over the past year and even held his own with former WWE Champion Randy Orton, leading many to believe he would get a title match of his own accord.

Sadly for the Ghanaian Sensation this didn't happen, but he did end up claiming the Intercontinental Championship, which is the main reason many may rule him out of winning this bout, but it shouldn't be and the youngster is certainly in with a chance.

Odds of Winning : 20/1

Drew McIntyre's Chances of Winning at Money in the Bank 2010

McIntyre has to be the favourite. Simple as that.

He's clearly on a fast-track to the top of the promotion and dropping the Intercontinental title to Kofi Kingston a month or so ago happened for a reason, and here it is.

Odds of Winning: 1/10 (F)

'Dashing' Cody Rhodes' Chances of Winning at Money in the Bank 2010

'Dashing' Cody Rhodes, as he is now known, has been on a pretty impressive run since joining Smackdown in the 2010 Draft Lottery.

But beating midcarders on Smackdown and fending off 7 other competitors to grab the much-coveted briefcase are two entirely different things, and when you consider that Rhodes has had pretty much no experience in this kind of match type, his chances start to look a little bit bleaker.

That said, Rhodes has learned from a master-manipulator in Randy Orton, and has shown himself to be more than resourceful enough to pull off a victory when the pressure is on.

Odds of Winning : 7/1

Dolph Ziggler's Chances of Winning at Money in the Bank 2010

Along with John Morrison on Raw Dolph Ziggler could be one of the most overlooked Superstars in the WWE at the moment.

For the past few years he has gradually been upping his game, while chance after chance has gone begging with regards to titles and progression up the card.

The Money in the Bank briefcase could be the thing that really takes his career to the next level, as it did for Edge, C.M Punk and Jack Swagger, and hopefully this is something the WWE Creative team realise.

But if previous form is anything to go by he doesn't have a hope in hell.

Odds of Winning : 15/1
