From my understanding of wrestle mania WWE,I see it as a fixed fight,which there is an agreement of who will win the fight. Despite all these people still buy tickets to watch the fight. I don't see this as a transparent fight,but people still bet on this fight. Is it that they are ignorant of this fight fixing or they are addicted to gambling and just bet on whatever come across them. As a gambler will you bet on such fight,when you know that the fight is fixed and the outcome of the fight is not for real,or will you go ahead to bet for fun?

Similar discussion some weeks ago. My opinion was that and it is still that I can not bet on fixed matches, almost everything about WWE is fixed.

If looking for such type of betting, I will go for boxing, the real matches.

WWE used to be my most loved sports ever since I grew up to start watching sports that involved opponents fighting each other, I loved and was so addicted to watching this game for several years until a couple of years ago, when I finally discovered that almost everything that happens in WWE is fixed/predetermined, this was when I started to hate WWE, watching the games no longer interest me anymore, and I also would never bet on such games.

WWE fights to me now is like watching a movie, it is all acting, nothing is for real, and i personally would assume that those who still buy tickets to watch this fights and also bet on it, probably have not realized that WWE matches are fixed, or they know but just don't care.

Similar topic have been discussed on this thread, you can see replies there.

I used to love watching WWE as it was one of my best childhood entertainment series every Sundays and Wednesdays, the performance, the stage walk in, the rants and boos, the match challenge and lots more features they show for viewers and lovers of WWE  but as time went on I discovered that all the fight I had watch right from childhood was scripted and stunts performance already scripted for the performance. I was diassapointed with the show and I felt this guys have been playing with our emotions thinking the fights were real not knowing that everything I was watching were all fake and scripted. Ever since I discovered that tricks, I lost interest in watching WWE although I watch it but not as before when I am eager to watch it then.
When such discovery is made how do expect someone to bet in that course. It is just like you pouring water into a basket.

They know that the fight is fixed people are watching because of the drama and the wrestling moves as clothesline and submission holds, there are no boring moments in wrestling and when it comes to betting I don't think I can bet that I can't bet on anything that is fixed, others will because of the curiosity.
Its to see who's going to win because you can only find in wrestling where the obvious favorite will get beaten because of cheating and you cannot cry foul because its part of the drama.

I think people who are betting on WWE are doing it for pure gambling.  Although matches are fixed, the result or the plot of the matches is unknown to the masses.  I think i will go ahead to beat and win since WWE is a one of the fastest-growing niches within sports betting.  Besides, betting on fixed matches does not mean that the person is addicted to gambling, it is that he may found out that it is easier to win in the game setting like WWE where results are fixed.




WWE is even applying for the legality of betting on their high profile matches.[1]

It's a bit of a dumb concept really, but the only people really pushing it are WWF themselves because they want to host the gambling side of it. There is a massive conflict of interest at the heart of this sort of gambling, because like you say - they define who wins every single match. You could argue it's like betting on a stage show which could have multiple endings, you're not betting on a random outcome or any type of player skill. It will be very misleading and could potentially be penalized in certain countries because they're taking rigging to a whole other level. If you're a true sports gambler then it would not interest you at all and you should simply warn people away from it.

You can have more fun by just watching it without taking any risk, because for me this is a fixed matches and its hard to know who will win the match since perfect record are not that important, as they are more focus on entertaining their viewers and I've been watching this since my younger days. If you want to take more risk then you can just place a small bet as long as you are ready for that, some site still offer a bet for this and you'll see good odds as well.

Since I lent the fact that wrestling matches are fixed since then I give up on following wrestling since it used to be my favourite fight,  and I have been looking out to we're to place bets on them.

-the reality is tthatfact made me to lose interest in the game, but based on the fact that gambling is luck based,  I can still bet on wrestling if I see my favourite wrestler listed on the fight.

This topic has been discussed,but from my own opinion, as long as am going to enjoy the fight,I can bet on it. This doesn't mean that I am an addict, am doing it for fun because even though the match is fixed,nobody knows who will win. You might be lucky and bet on the chosen winner.

Moreover wrestling mania is gaining more ground when it comes to sport because it is like a show and people do have fun gambling on the fights. Down here in my country, there are local wrestlers who only wrestle during festive periods and so many people will come from far and near to watch and gamble on the fight. It is one of the fun I do enjoy most times.

You are right, that gambling for wwe betting is not a good choice because they are entertainment fights aimed at getting the attention of the audience, but I have watched PPV several times that roman always wins the fight from every belt bet, he is lucky to have become the chief because he is always helped by his friends to cheat in a fight, he will win the fight at any cost, so he is the best option to choose in the gamble.

I just checked that thread but it is lucked at the moment, which indicates that there are no discussions there at the moment, so this thread still looks appropriate to make discussions ad regards to WWE games.

-The reason why the discussion as regards WWE is not popular in this forum is duebecausest members already lost interest in WWE games since there are scripted and not real, so the most user does not find them interesting.

I never bet on wrestling for obvious reasons but I love watching wrestling in the past, in fact, I followed wrestlers in the past like Snake Robert, and Shawn Michael, the excitement and drama is real, and besides they promote themselves as an entertainment portal, not a sport for you to bet, they want you to relax and enjoy the drama and excitement.
When you're betting, you don't look at the drama and excitement you concentrate on the outcome which is why bookies do not accept WWE bets, because there are no favorites and underdogs here.

Sure, i don't care if it's fixed. For all i know ton of different matches are fixed. I am mostly in it for the show anyway. Obviously i wouldn't use same kind of tactic to predict a winner in WWE as i would with boxing or MMA. It just creates this extra layer of enjoyment when you are watching the match. I rarely see a need for root for anyone in sports without financial incentive behind it.

That's a locked thread.

People should not bet on WWE to gain money, its ok if it's for fun and out of curiosity because, in the first place, WWE did not promote itself as a sports portal where you can bet, this is an entertainment company, where you can see big guys getting beaten by small guys and we have bad guys humiliated by good guys it like a drama that we want to see on screen but this time it happens inside the ring.
No sports betting station will allow WWE bets because they will be accused of promoting fixed fights.

The difference about those people buying tickets to watch live actions and those bettors are completely huge. Those that want to watch it live are there for entertainment despite they all knew it that everything is scripted.

While for those bettors, they're simply bettors and are also aware of what's with WWE which all of them are fixed and scripted. They can bet with almost anything and at the same time they're also there to bet, watch and have fun.

I don't know how this people are enjoying the so called WWE. The event tickets were bought at very high price and it have turned a big business. People know well about the truth, and continue to watch it. I never go with WWE bets as well as never suggest it a sport. Whether it is fight or something else there should be some logic. Just to create some sort of excitement they go to any extent. Recently a popular WWE star Ray Mysterio's son calls his dad to fight for some reason. How can this be considered good and the children watching these fights will have same mentality.

When there's a hint about the event being scripted then it's better to avoid it than to bet for fun because there are better sports events that you can bet on compared to this.

I only want to point out the number of options available for betting even though wrestling can be entertaining similar to other sports I just think they're not worth it when there would be barely any value to find due to the script possibly getting leaked.

Realistically speaking.
What do you guys think the percentage of people who are aware of the WWE scripted fights is?
We have already talked about this topic some days ago but the point OP is doing on the possible ignorance of people is quite fair.

There must be people who do not know about the script and end up betting with their friends on those encounters.

Do you have family or friends who may think all those fighting events are real and not staged? (Regardless of the association or entity behind them).

 ???

Some gamblers recognize WWE wrestling mania as a fixed fight but don't take it seriously and place bets anyway. But I guess I'm not betting on the WWE wrestling mania and will probably just be a spectator and that's just for a little while. I'm not really into WWE wrestling mania.

Other people may think it is a pleasure to see two or more players fighting to provide entertainment for them. And maybe that's what makes gamblers bet by choosing their favourite fighter.

The entire script of the wrestling game is predetermined and the winner and loser of this game are completely predetermined. But one thing is that probably these scpits are not predetermined in the Royal Rumble match and it is not easy to predict who will win that match. So a gambler can bet on the Royal Rumble match but I think betting on the scripted WrestleMania match is completely stupid. But I don't bet on WrestleMania as a gambler. Because betting on arranged scripts seems futile to me.

But it still got a lot of opinions there, OP did not see that thread I guess.

I don't think reputable bookies have WWE betting events. I mean, all of us know that WWE is an entertainment show, not a real sporting show. Everything on the show is scripted, and they often act, throwing fake punches and fighting. This is the reason I don't find the games in any big or trusted casinos. WWE is basically just like a movie or drama scene where people are entertained. OP, have you seen any bookies providing these events to bet on? Yes, I have seen events for UFC and MMA, as those are real sports, and we really have to guess the winners for them, but WWE is completely fictional, and to be honest, I haven't seen any person betting on WWE events either.

WWE Wrestling is actually a battle with a lot of manipulation because in that fight, the fighters don't actually wrestle, just play to entertain their audience.
If it's just to watch it and entertain yourself maybe watching WWE is the right choice but to be able to participate in betting it doesn't seem like because the fight isn't real so I myself am not interested in participating in the gamble.
Here, I have the same assumptions and opinions as you, even though the WWE is an exciting fight to watch. In the past, when I was a teenager, I often watched this fight on television, but now the TV stations in my country strictly prohibit broadcasting this fight.

while it is not known by many that is the main reason why others are still risking their money knowing that this is already fixed and there might be big people that fishing their money(but with the luck of choosing the right one) they may win against others.
but like majority of people here that already understand WWE? we will never bet on this instead we will just use it in MMA or Boxing.

I used to love watching WWE matches, the excitement I felt back then was extraordinary. 
But when I found out that the fight was scripted I didn't want to believe it but at last, I had to after I saw so many proofs and I grew up still hating the whole match and all its participants. And since it's a scripted game I wouldn't want to bet my money on it because it's going to be filled with so many twisted plots and you can't possibly predict who's going to come out victorious because they're not working with participants' experience but Instead what will make the audience more excited, the match is more like a circus show.

I'm sure half of those who watched it already knew that the winner of the fight was an arrangement, the other half didn't know it was an arranged battle, but this is where gambling has to have stupid people in it. so that half of the audience already knew this fight was set up. they could capitalize on this bet by taking money from spectators who never knew the fight was set.  :D

another form of business for them. If people have much money then they can spend their money betting on it as it is their own fun, but my self, I won't bet on WWE. We got angry and pissed when we encountered fixed games; how much more in that kind of TV show (for me) with the script and all of those things that you thought you would win but again, it has twists because of the scripts? It is like a movie where you are betting if that character will die or not.

      -  I'm not sure if I've read a topic like this in this forum, but anyway I remember when I was in high school I used to like watching wrestle mania my favorites back then were ultimate warrior, hulk hogan, hacksaw jim dogan, and undertaker.

And until now it's still on TV. But all the fights here are purely scripted and purely acting but the viewers are crazy, so why would I bet on a gamble that others already know who will win.

Maybe we can send Triple H an email and as for the results, I mean he is the head of creative, he calls the shots.

Seriously, why would anybody even consider betting on this, haha.

It's called world wrestling entertainment for a reason, because it simply entertainment.

By the way, I have never seen odds for these events on any site, not sure if it would even be legal to offer odds since some people ( WWE employees ) know the result in advance.

Yes it’s fixed match but it’s same with betting on oscar award and other entertainment program that the result is already predetermined. This is the sportsbook issue because they are the one who will be at risk for betting manipulation if someone has an insider info on the result. But it’s still a normal betting option for a normal bettor because you don’t know what’s gonna happened unless you finish the match.

The result will not gonna change once the script is finalize same with other entertainment sector that betting option is already available. Betting on this category is not dumb because you will have a better chance of winning if you knew that the wrestler is a crowd favorite. As my childhood favorite entertainment show, betting on wrestling is more entertaining than betting on regular sports because there’s a lot of shit happening on the canvas.  :D

I never even don't want to bet on a WWE match as many gamblers have admitted that many bookies will manipulate this match.
Because this type of match can be categorized as a friendly match whose winnings can be manipulated by the dealer or even by the players themselves.
But there are still many who gamble on this match, because gambling addicts will always bet on what they see and they don't care whether the match is manipulated or not, the most important thing is that they can pay for their addiction.

Because they see it entertaining, they bet on it, what they know that is fixed already and fake? I do not think they know that WWE are only fixed wresting. Can you see billions of people watching the entertainment, most of them may not known it is just fake and scripted.

The day I know that WWE is fake, my zeal to watch it has decreased. I am not even watching it like before. But some people will still watch it, as they like to watch those reality shows which are also 100% scripted.

The confusing thing for me is that, despite spectators being aware of the fixed outcome of wrestling fights, they still spent a lot of money watching them fight according to. The script is given to them and the winner is selected before the fight begins, this should be a turn-off to many.

-And could this also be the reason why most bookmaker doesn't list WWE fights on their sites, what about football are there a possibility to see a fixed match, I also have feelings football can also be manipulated.

As far as we know in WWE there is always a scenario of the upcoming fight, which of course is kept secret, but in this case, really how can you bet on one or another participant in an essentially sports show, then just bet for fun and that's it.

It is not really for the fun that people bet and some people are desperate for money as far as there would be expectation of money. Fixed fight are scripted making it strictly as luck game. I don't bet unreasonably so I may not do a crazy bet as such. WWE is not a realistic game or sports because it is manipulated.
I understand that this topic exist already.

I wonder if there's a bookie list WWE event? I haven't find any single casino have WWE event in their sportsbook, but I don't know with the fiat casino.

Not only WWE the fight is scripted, but local league can be easily get scripted and abused too since the player or team are blindly when it's about money oriented. I think it's not a secret anymore, not to mention there's an user created a thread about possible fixed matches before and what make it interesting his prediction come true.

My dad is a big wrestling fan and sometimes he still believes the figts are real and that not everything is scripted. Besides that, it is entertaining to watch and I will be going to Wrestlemania this year with my dad and brother to watch it live also. There are reputable bookies where you can bet on it, but it are all fiat bookies and only available in Belgium/Netherlands. Haven't placed a bet on it yet, but there are people doing it otherwise the bookies wouldn't offer it.

There are many who love WWE knowing it is scripted. One of the biggest reasons it has a big fan following is that it contains all aspects of entertainment like drama, action, humor, and others. I still won't go and place a bet on WWE as it lacks one key element of gambling which is uncertainty. When you already know who will win a duel why bet on it?

While all matches are scripted and the outcomes are already put on paper, the general public still doesn't know who will the match, so that is the reason why you can bet on it. Offcourse, some matches are easy to predict the winners, but sometimes there is still a surprise. As I said before, I haven't place any bet yet on WWE, but I can understand why there is interest to do it.

On a more personal note, I still love wwe and if I can find good odds on my favorite wrestler I can place a few bucks on them, I was watching a few fights between the undertaker and John Cena today and my knowledge from this thread played out the entire fight to see if truly the fight is truly scripted.

-But then it will take some form of in-debt analyses to be able to win against the casino since they already know the result and will work the odds around it to favor the house against the casino.

As far as I know, WWE wrestling is generally done for entertainment purposes, or you can say scripted and more understandable in WWE wrestling, there is already a determination of winning and losing, even though you see there are punches and there are also those who use chairs, all of that is fake.

My understanding from the OP's question, actually WWE wrestling, there is its own enjoyment and entertainment for fans of the sport of WWE wrestling, bets, the tickets they buy and bet on are not important for lovers of the sport, they enjoy the wrestling, in fact they know that the game has been arranged in such a way as to determine who loses and wins, for sure the sport of WWE wrestling not everyone can do it, they are choices and those who wrestle really have loyal fans to watch and bet for them.

I also remember a thread about this weeks ago. There must be a serious discussion about this somewhere and the WWE is coming up to compete the mainstream boxing and UFC.

What they should really be doing is turning the WWE into a real wrestling bout, not just the act but a real wrestling fight, and bringing the Dagestani Wrestlers and Indians Wrestlers. It's time for them to step up or grow up. 

If Dana brought the slapping competition to become a sport why not this wrestling, right?

I think the term "fixed" is not the appropriate word to apply to WWE matches because in the first place, there's no fixed and rigged matches there, and can be compared to the legit fixed matches that happened at some real sports events.

It's very clear from the start that WWE is just for entertainment purposes and that's what the acronym stands for.

Although I don't really understand why there are people who are interested in betting on such entertainment shows as most fights there are not even live. Even their biggest events, Royal Rumble and Wrestle Mania are mostly pre-recorded and results are even posted on their main website even prior to the officially scheduled telecast.

This is the first WWE thread I have seen in the forum but I believe others are there in the Gambling Discussion Board. I was also wondering why people are interested to watch a match that is not real. I just thought that many people are going there for fund and others might be there to while their time. Well some of them also addicted so they just create WWE fun process to gambling ground.

That is an another good point. But you also have to know that all games are for entertainment and most games are not fake as WWE. Football is also an entertainment and it is not fake. But the fake level of WWE is too high. WWE is a real fixed game but the fiction is too much in that game.

Currently, in my country, it is also strictly forbidden to broadcast this fight, especially when many children are not asleep can watch the show and it is feared that there will be a lot of violence that can be carried out by minors who do not understand that their fight is not really real fight. This was done because there had been several incidents where the children joked with their friends and demonstrated what they saw at WWE Wrestling. Hence, the government acted decisively against all television stations to ban broadcasting the fight. It is a good action taken by the government so that there are no children who watch scenes of violence from programs like that.

Nobody would know whether such shows feature real fights or if they are fake because if they already think of it as entertainment, they won't care. And maybe that's also why some people bet on the show because they feel like they're enjoying the fight.

I don't like violent shows like that for fear that if I watch them and my kids watch them too, it might affect their emotions indirectly. What they watch can affect their subconscious and be carried over into their social life later.

As we all know wwe matches are very very likely scripted beforehand, its best to look what would be better show if one side wins. I mean, their main aim with wwe is popularity. They will always make wrestlers with more audience win. "Always" may be wrong word as they may seek surprise results for shock effect as well. So I think its possible to bet on wwe. But with completely different mindset, like, not caring about performances at all.

     You know sometimes I wonder about their viewers, because even though they know that everything is just for entertainment and it's only scripted, they are still very happy.

     it seems like I'm being openly cheated, I'm still happy hahaha, now with the betting you're referring to, I didn't get a little bit from the bookies? what is this and how? are they gonna choose in which wrestler will gonna win? is that what you mean?

WWE is my one of the favourite game till now. In childhood I was big fan of wrestling especially John Cena, Roman reigns and Shawn Mitchell etc. But Now I realized that WWE games are pre-planned and are a type of Scam and that's why I think it's not fair to do bet on this. Because we still do not know who could be the winner of this match. By the way everybody has their own perspective.

That is just it exactly, WWE should not go beyond entertaining people for people to be watching it, it should not be more than that. But some people are always foolish to try something foolish, I can not know something is scripted and I should go for it, scripted means it is no real but written and rehearsed.  Since I have been betting, I have not even noticed anything like WWE wrestling on any gambling site that I am using or that I have used before.

I've been to a lot of sportsbooks in many years and there are only a few that offer WWE betting odds. Obviously, WWE is scripted and these athletes spent time practicing their stunts. I haven't tried betting on a WWE match but I believe there are limitations to the amount since the few betting companies that offer it knew that it is scripted and there are some people within the WWE company that knew the results. Some people bet on WWE matches because they are huge fans and they don't know who's going to be the winner although they knew that it is scripted.

In WWE,some match fixing was happening and I don’t say you No for it.But not all the games are like that,if you are gambler and know who involved in the game fixing.You can do two things,one is you can avoid such games on the gambling bets.Secondly you can spread that news with all your gambling friends.Because they can avoid to use the game to waste their money.Indirectly you are helping your friend to save their money on fixed matches.So you are morally help your friends from the scammers.

Most of the players involved in fight are mostly involved in the stunts.Because the boxers should be fixed in their stamina all the time.I had some experience in the WWE in some matches,but 2/7 I had win of betting games.So this things make me to think on WWE.If I had win the 50% of the games,surely I will try that game again.But my winning is 1/3 of the betting money,So I had decided to watch most of the WWE games.When I feel to satisfied with the stuff,I will use to start my betting.And some people of WWE know the winners before the matches was begin.So they will place the bet and win the game.The information will be shared among all his friends and family members.But some people will be selfish and don't share anything to their friends.It's not wise to keep the information on their own,because it only benefits the owner of the WWE and not the common people.

WWE is interesting to watch but many give the reason for its disadvantages for being a fixed match game, yet some don't mind because they still gambles with such and wins, there's money as well inbthe sport game because it's a universal entertainment, one can make an awesome winning as well from WWE bet because despite it's been fixed you can't predict who wins or not just as you won't be able to do that for other sport bets.

I think the people that buy the tickets to go and watch wrestling matches do it only for fun and to watch their favorites regardless of the fact that the fights are scripted and fixed. And even if the fights or each of the sequences and everything are fixed and scripted, I believe the general public still doesn't know who is going to be the winner, at least except for some of the fights where they make it too obvious.

So I think considering the fact that even if everything is scripted, we don't know in advance who will be the winner, people might bet on their favorite wrestlers just for fun and then wait to see the outcome of the fight.

I enjoy watching WWE and sometimes I predict who would win. But most times it doesn't turn out the way I predicted,  I used to wonder not until I researched on it. Just like Noolly wood, Hoolly wood,  bolly wood and the rest, Wrestling is scripted.  Unlike Football where everything unveil only at the end of the match, the directors and organizers of wresling already know what will happen. So placing a bet on wrestling is only a thing of fun which I personally will not subscribe to. Cuz to me, betting on wrestling is more like cheating oneself.

It is indeed fixed, in a sense that there's a script that foretells who's going to win and who's not. But I still bet on it anyway, the reason, because it's fun!

Unlike conventional fixed matches that sucks the life away out of betting and gambling, betting on pre-determined WWE matches don't as they keep the viewers unaware of who's going to win, with some scenarios letting out a little hint on what's to come and whatnot but never outright telling everyone who's the victor and who's not.

As a matter of fact, I've done a little mixup on the WWE games I bet on, I don't bet on who's going to win, but what's the finishing move that they'll use to win the belt and the title.

If you are a solid fan of WWE then you wouldnt really be minding about being fixed since you do get entertained then its none others business if you would really be making yourself to make bets out of these events which is true that it is already that fixed and its not really that worth for you to make out bets if you do really have that realistic approach.Im not aware that much that there are
really that people who do make out bets which arent really that much too available or i had just missed it out.For me i wouldnt really be that interested in this regard.

Fixed matches but that is solely for entertainment and not for betting. Betting on WWE matches are somehow between a group of individual or peer and not officially on gambling sites as far as I know, for the fact that matches are staged. Sometimes, my brother and I are betting in one of their matches since we grew up watching wrestling since smackdown and Impact. Betting is just a bonus, what we enjoyed the most is watching the fights despite of who would win. Also, I never saw a betting game on any gambling site covering WWE for an obvious reason, which is just fine by me even if I am a fan. I do understand the point of not outting it in line, unlike with boxing and UFC matches which are dominant in sportsbetting.

Betting on wrestling is not cheating oneself, it can only be if you are part of the organizing team and already knew who was chosen to win the match.
You said it yourself that you do predict who would win, and at the end of the match, you discover you were wrong in your predictions, this is to tell you that, you as an individual who is not part of the organizing team still can bet in the game if you want, this is if you find some friends like yourself to bet with, it can work and be fun as well..

One reason why wresting is not available to be bet on on casinos is because, like we all know that the matches are scripted, the organizers could drain the casinos bankroll if the casino allows betting on such games.

I myself am one of many. But I didn't know before that there is drama here. Earlier I was very focused on this sport of wrestling. I still watch wrestling regularly. But never watching this game, no one will believe that there is a dramatic match like Abhinay. I was always realistic and didn't care what others said. But now I realize it is completely dramatic. But be it dramatic, there is a lot of fun here. But I have not bet on this wrestling side till date.

This can be very difficult given the unpredictability risk factor of wrestling as a scripted organization purely for entertainment. Would you bet on something that is unpredictable and is based on something that is not on skill? This can be potentially misleading and deceptive even if you try to bet on the top wrestler as anything could happen due to the outcome being 100% planned.

If you would bet on wrestling matches, then it is mostly a 50/50 chance of winning given the nature of the sport. I enjoy wrestling, sure, but betting on it would be totally disastrous on my part.

All WWE events are pre-planned and the winners and losers are predetermined. The scripts of each match of the event are shot in advance with a special act and they come on stage and fight according to that act. But one thing to note here is that viewers watch WWE events only for entertainment and betting. But I am also a fan of WWE, I enjoy every Roman Reigns match.
But one thing is very important that except some betting and casino sites most of the betting and casino sites do not add WWE events because the result of every match of wwe is almost predictable. Only the Royal Rumble match is included in some betting and casino sites.

Have seen fixed match argument several times and my answer is always same, winner is only known by wwe bookers and not to anyone else.

Would bet on wwe matches if there were bookmakers taking bets for it.

Yeah it's true that the public lack the knowledge the already predetermined winner but still yet that does make betting on WWE any easy.
In most games, you can make a prediction based on how well the player is and also based on the opponent, based on their success rate and the people they had their success against. But for WWE you never can use your normal prediction strategy to predict who's going to win and who is to lose.

I won't, this is not my forte and ever since I found out when I was a kid that this is just a fixed game with just the purpose of entertainment, I stopped watching it. What more when it comes to betting? There's a chance they will try to control who will win the fight if they see big amounts of bets coming from the other guy. I don't say they are not to be trusted. It's just that, it's possible to happen especially if a bigger amount of money will be involved.
Regarding those who still watch it, perhaps that is their hobby, it is where they are entertained, and some of them may be friends of those wrestlers. and right now they are not far from Hollywood artists. It's not far from watching an action movie. Right? It's actually better because it's happening live.

Then it's just better to bet on an underdog because the fight is scripted, isn't? we can make easy money here, but the thing is I don't see any sports bookie do list WWE event, so I don't know how to bet on WWE event. In the other sports where it's not scripted and already in international league, usually the favorite player or team will win, obviously the odds is low and you will not make a lot money.

The people who bet on the WWE don't see that the match is scripted so people still feel the tension of betting.
Even though people can predict who the winner is, but if what is written is not the winner, we will still lose but it seems the people who placed the bets don't care about that.
Maybe those guys can just place a bet on WWE just for fun and if they can win it will be a bonus for them.
Until now I have never placed a bet on that WWE because I now never see the spectacle again.

I wrote on this a couple of weeks ago but I will still go ahead to drop my thoughts on this. As we already the rate at which people gambling everyday on different sports and activities is increasing by the day. Second, it is a huge market that presents a lot of opportunities for increase revenue. The WWE has a lot of viewership worldwide and what better ways to monetize the viewership than to introduce the concept of betting on fixed matches. From a personal and moralistic standing point, it makes absolutely no sense but from a business standpoint, it is absolutely okay.

As a gambler, I would do both. I would bet on the fight knowing that it has been fixed already and I would also bet for fun just to try my luck. However, I won't do this so often because it will be just a waste of money. I would only bet when I have some extra cash to spare and also whenever I am feeling lucky.

Well, in my opinion, Professional wrestling, such as WWE, is often considered more of a form of entertainment than a legitimate sport. The outcomes of matches are predetermined, and the games are scripted to tell a story. While the performers are athletic and skilled, the actual games are more akin to a theatrical production than a legitimate sporting competition. Despite this, many people still enjoy watching professional wrestling and are willing to pay for tickets and merchandise. Similarly, some people may still bet on these events for entertainment or because they are unaware that the outcomes are predetermined.

Exactly, just like what happened to children in the country where I live where they demonstrated a fighting style like WWE and to make matters worse the victim suffered a broken bone and was rushed to the hospital but this happened a long time ago when WWE broadcasts were still allowed.
Since then, many people have started not to be interested in WWE fights, including me because they can no longer be watched on television.
For now I prefer to bet on MMA/UFC and Boxing fights because I have more art when fighting and we can also do research and predictions to be able to choose which fighter I will bet on.
Do you also like betting on UFC or Boxing?

As a gambler, I respect my money. I don't place bets on events because other gamblers are doing the same thing. Instead, I gamble when I'm confident that the outcome will be in my favor. Although I used to like watching wrestling as a kid, I can't imagine a mature man like me will watch WWE entertainment with the intention of placing bets on the fighters. I don't believe I've ever seen a casino or sports book advertise for players to place bets with them. This type of sport is genuinely entertaining for those who enjoy a fake fights, but I doubt that even gambling platforms will want to provide wagers on unpredictable events because doing so would be a waste of their time and money.

There was another topic about WWE betting and I don't want to repeat my opinion here.
Everyone is free to bet on whatever he wants to bet. There are bets about who will win the presidential elections in the USA, why not having bets about scripted wrestling fights. The presidential elections might be as rigged as WWE wrestling. ;D
As long as there are people, who are willing to spend some money on this, there will be bookies offering such bets. The demand creates the supply.
I would never bet on scripted wrestling fights, but that's just me. There are people, who spend their money on way stupider things than scripted wrestling fights. The people are free to do whatever they want with their money. They could just throw their money in their toilets, if they want to. ;D

Although the outcomes of matches in WWE are predetermined and scripted, it doesn't mean you can't bet on them. Those scripts are kept in secret, and with today's technologies it is possible to prevent any leaks. So, it can be similar to Oscars: the outcome is in the envelope, but nobody* knows it, hence you can bet on it.

*Of course some people know, but they won't tell anybody if they don't want to lose their well-paid job.

For entertainment purposes, yes, I will still bet on it because even if it's scripted, the viewers won't still be able to create accurate predictions all the time so it's still exciting to bet and guess the winner. I could still remember when my uncles used to bet against each other while watching WWE. The thrill amd excitement is still there despite the idea that it is all scripted and filled with drama and acting.

The fights happening in WWE are just for entertainment purposes and not a reality.
Basically, they are scripted fights so that the people can get entertained which is why the people buy tickets to those matches.
I am not sure if there are people who even bet on those matches but if there are then they are just wasting their money or are doing it just for fun.

I have placed a bet one time on WWE before and just as you said, then I never knew it used to be a fixed fight. I lost in the gamble and that was when I researched on it and find out it used to be a fixed fight and since then I find it so difficult to bet on it again.
Betting on WWE is highly risky in the sense that there are people like the officials who actually know who the winner will be at the end. Though something of this nature sometimes occur in some football league where a particular player will be bribed to cause a penalty or commit a foul that will warrant a red card. But why that of WWE is different is that the winner is already known. So I wouldn't want to risk my money in betting in a game that someone else already know the outcome ever again.

I have the same sentiment. I have tried betting on it before and I felt like I have just wasted my time and funds because the result seems unrealistic. It is acceptable that it's part of the risk but dealing with scripted sports is too hard. It's better to risk on legit and reliable sports betting games than WWE which could easily be manipulated. For some people, they see it as a fun game but to serious gamblers, it will only provide an upsetting result.

When I was still young, WWE was my favorite but I was still young, when I was young I thought the fights werr real and I was enjoying it, until when I discovered that the fight was just fake and fixed. I don't really know why people are gambling on WWE, when they know the fights are fixed. But I think the only people that knows about the fixture of the fights are the organizers, but the people watching won't really know who is going to win or who is going to lose, they will just gamble and if they are lucky, they will win and if they are not lucky they will lose.

You really think that it will be fair and do you really think that the bookies will be accepting bets for something that is fixed. Even for legit games it is hard to contain the fixing issues during certain sporting events and imagine what will be the shit show with a match that is scripted from top to bottom, even the promos the wrestlers does are scripted and even the commentary is scripted.

I don’t see how this could possibly work. Gambling on scripted matches is basically legalized scamming if you know any of the people involved who can give you a heads up beforehand. I imagine if this is allowed to happen going forward, there will be scandals galore. Even if you were honest and one of your friends made a lot of money betting on your match, you’re likely to be investigated. It just seems like a terrible idea.

I feel you especially if you really bet for it and it was a hefty amount of money you place. And as you watch if your bet is going to win or not, that's painful to see that the wrestler that you've bet for is winning the match but then, there's a sudden increase on strength on opponent's side and then managed to smash and do solid jabs to the wrestler you bet for. We all know that type of seen when the favorite wrestler is already about to get beaten but then, there's the force that made him stronger all of a sudden and that's going to make him win.
I haven't bet for WWE although I know this sport and I've been watching it since a kid but no longer today. It's not worth it in my opinion that the results are scripted and you'll feel cheated about it because as a bettor, we also base on odds and the results do go against it.

Just to imagine that they are giving out those odds or betting line in early manner and would be seeing on where the majority is betting on then of course it could really be manipulated and would be changing up

those outcomes for those bookies to make money or someone who do make out huge bets inside the organization which it do really sucks big time you do know that results could be potentially altered.

This is why its never been that recommended nor really that interesting on betting on matches like this.Yes, its entertaining but its not something that you could
really assure about its fairness which its obviously scripted as we do all know.

WWE is completely scripted, each and every move and the dialogues were already prepared and executed without flaws. People who watch it doesn't feel like they're watching a scripted fight. Even myself doesn't believed in this, later understood that they have an academy where each and everyone are trained and the fighters qualified are one by one made to participate into different fights.

Let's suppose the WWE fights are fixed and they are just simulations but the general public does not know who will win the fight. So for us, it is just a fight where the result is unknown and we can place the bet. There is no advantage to the people betting on WWE as they do not know the results in advance.
Yeah, if someone insider knows about it and places the bet accordingly then for sure he or she can make easy money. Also if you know someone that works in WWE and knows what's going to happen, you may also want to take advantage of this.

It's not a fixed fight but rather Wrestle Mania is a staged match.

A fixed match is a legit match where some intentional loss will happen.
In a staged match, it's clear it's for the show that's why it was even called entertainment.

Betting in such a match is absolutely insane, not because it's staged, but because bettors are risking money for something that can't be applied with any form of analysis.

Did you read what I said? I know everything is scripted, but booking is only contained within wwe and not to outside world.

In worst case scenario, wwe betting can be exploited only by wwe executives themselves.

betting on friendly matches like the WWE is very bad for me when the match will take a turn for the worse when some people try to manipulate the match to gain a bigger advantage.
in a WWE match to be honest I never spent any money on that match, because for me it's just a waste of time and a waste of money.
if maybe there is someone who buys tickets to bet on a WWE match, he is just one of those addicts who wants to satisfy his addiction in any match and what's worse, he doesn't understand what's going on behind the match.

well, in the end they are gamblers who are aware of this, they will definitely avoid these bets preferring to bet on other matches such as MMA which are more real.

what is certain is that all WWE matches are planned beforehand and can change whenever they want, because this kind of match in the world of gambling is very bad for me

i love the game, I love the players so surely I will put my bet specially in my favorite Wrestlers .

I remember being a Kid loving the game without knowing it is a scripted fight but when i learn about that? i care nothing because it is the fun that i gather each time I watch and of course if i Win in gambling.

lets not make it controversial because we are not being force to put our bets.

It's what we have to do because no one is forcing us to place bets on WWE. If we don't like it, we can choose other sports betting that attracts us more.

Maybe we think that WWE is full of violence, which makes us dislike it. But for others, it's a joy they like because it's different from other shows. But it will be dangerous if children like such shows because they can trigger violence among children. In addition, we have seen what the consequences are if children watch scenes of violence like that, even though the scenes are scripted.

Bets on WWE ? Funny! Why would I want to bet on a fake sport ? I mean , yea , for entertaining is great to watch ...but to place bets on them ? when most of the fans know the script even before the fight is planned and they know the winner before the fight as well. So I think , these are 2 main reasons of why betting houses will most likely never accept or see WWE as a betting sport.

If I remember, there was another WWE thread here before but it was now buried alive because it was not bumped actively. I think that's one obvious reason that many people are lacking an interest on it. MMA threads, boxing and the likes are more active than it, I think it's because it was a real one and people find it more thrilling and entertaining.

The same thing is experienced when it comes to betting. They can also ensure that their bets are more likely to win, as long as they have done some deep analysis. I think WWE is only a brand name and the entertainment in its name, does not indicate that it was staged although the show itself is. Many kids are still entertained on it.

this reminds me of years ago, if my memory serves me right 18 years ago i used to watch wwe every sunday, i remember that time when i watched and saw the fighters with a lot of blood, then another fighter would pick up a stick with chains and he hit the opponent, when it was undertake it had that whole dark effect when he went to fight that even scared me and the guy had no mercy with opponents, so all that in my head there was no room to think it was a lie, for me it was It was a real fight, to this day I keep asking myself how could all of that be staged? I mean, guys bleed, guys grab the belt when they're champions, so it took time for me to accept that it's all staged

because when I watched wwe I always saw a lot of people watching sitting on the chairs where the fights were taking place, so everything looked really real, those people paid tickets to watch the fights, so that means that those people already knew who would win the fight anyway before the fight takes place? considering that those people who bought tickets to watch the fight knew it was all staged, why did they pay to watch staged? I confess that I don't understand this


this is a photo from this year:

as you can see in the picture, most of the people are adult people, and see there are a lot of adult people watching, from what i can see a lot of adult people still like wwe a lot, what i don't understand is how the fighters manage to pick up sticks and hitting another fighter until they start bleeding and that's part of the act and those jumps and moves they do are very dangerous things

There is no way these type of fixed fights can be secretive. Even in the UFC there was a fixing scandal recently when Shayilan Nuerdanbieke took on Darrick Minner and the fight camp of Minner knew that he was injured coming into the fight and somehow word went out and before the fight millions of dollars were placed on Shayilan Nuerdanbieke to win the fight in the first round and investigation is underway and the people who leaked that will be punished and in that scenario how would a scripted fight be available for bets.

This had been discussed already and we gave different opinions.
Why would a gambler decide to bet on a fixed match?? Most especially when the options are unlimitedly given?? It'll only decrease the chances of getting a win outta that and, that would only mean wasting 'em bucks for nothing.
I learnt that some football matches too are usually fixed and them fixtures are smuggled out somehow, to be sold for a huge amount...so irritating! Except otherwise, any gambler won't wanna try betting on wrestling matches.

I don't know where's the confusing part.

It's simple, those people who are always present at the venue are huge fans of WWE and they have their own favorite WWE Superstars.

Damn, even that staged, for a regular viewer and follower of WWE, who doesn't want to see their WWE Superstars live? It's like these people are watching movies with their favorite celebrities. If I'm given a chance, I would not even skip watching WWE Live as I'm a fan of it before during my younger days.

Well, those who didn't grow up with an interest in watching WWE, will never understand why there are people who will paid ticket for that.

Don't you think this is too risky for gambling sites and bookmakers to accept the bets on fixed matches such as WWE ?
If even a few people know the result of the match, they can place high amounts on those matches and make big money. That is why we don't see these WWE matches bets on every sports betting sites.


It does not matter for the viewers if the WWE results are fixed. They will get entertained watching the live fight between their favorite superstars?

It is more entertaining to watch WWE live match than to watch a movie. However, as long as the general public do now know the results in advance, they will continue to have an interest in WWE matches.

True, everything is fake. They just act and make money. Most of the WEE fighters later seen on different movies. Even to watch the match it doesn't looks funny. Just the referee will be trying to finish the match with the three beats, but someone will distract and the fighter gets up. At times someone shakes the leg of the player and referee wasn't aware of it. Only mistake there is no VAR or review system. ;D

Why there's hate and criticism now about WWE when in fact right from the start it's staged? Did they hide or even secret?

It's something that can't be treated as a normal sport event because, in the very first place, WWE wasn't meant to be that way.

Blame those people who want to put a bet on that as the WWE itself doesn't have anything to do about it.

It takes great amount of practise to do all those manoeuvres, promo skills, appear to hit an opponent yet not injure  ;)

@boltz public doesn't know winners beforehand.


It's stupid and cringey and honestly it should go away. Referee try to act it up but in camera replay it's obvious what happened.


I don't know single one, mind mentioning few where you can bet on wwe?

Many people in this platform bet for fun and some like to watch this game and thus they can also bet there. If America's election is being bet so betting on a game is nothing unusual. Ever since I found out that these games are prefixed, my interest in these games has waned. I think it's just a waste of time. However, it is still considered as a favorite game by many people. As the large number of people enjoying this game similarly there are lots of gambler as well.

The topic here is whether or not you're willing to place a bet to a sport where everyone is well-aware that the result was already fixed. Everybody knows that WWE is for entertainment purposes only and none of these acts were true. So, I don't see any point in having the same narrative over and over again. Yeah we all know it is fake. Now, the question is are you willing to place a bet? This is not about some story telling about what's happening in WWE. Those fighters are not really fighters, they are all good actors who've undergone series of physical trainings and rehearsals to perform their acts perfectly in the ring.
I'm not a WWE fan, but I respect what they do and how they work hard to entertain their fans. 

-     Most people know that the fight is fake and it's all just acting and as you said it's really just for entertainment purposes.

So my answer is that I will not bet on a game that already knows who will win. I was too stupid to do that, sorry for these words, I'm just being true and honest with my feelings. But if for others they are entertained, well it's their choice anyway.

In my opinion, sportsbooks do not offer odds on this type of fight. While sports are primarily for entertainment purposes, this one is obviously scripted, which means that the organizers already know who will win. With that knowledge, it would be easier for them to bankrupt the sportsbook.

Maybe you can bet with your friends, but not on online sportsbook.

I believe that the main reason why most bookies especially the most popular ones don't allow betting or wrestling matches is that they can be easily cheated knowing that wrestling matches are scripted from start to finish, it is just like a drama series which is totally written and scripted but the audience doesn't know what will happen next so they watch it with so much interest.

Sports betting platforms understand the risk of allowing placing bets on wrestling matches, and that can cause them a lot of money if someone from the inside places bets on matches with big amounts as they already know the result of the matches.

Nope, I will not bet in a game like this. It has no fun and fixed matches is not good. I rather place my bet to sports or esports I will not be sure who will the game at least there is no foul play happens and it did not break any rules. I just hope that fix matches will end team managers and owners needed to learn that and be humble enough if the odds are not in their favor.

I don't really know much about WWE now because it's been a long time since I've followed this considering the last time I did was back in high school and it happened to be quite a while.
Talking about the actual bet, I still don't really see well about this, especially with a number of conditions where it is clearly set to be difficult. I think being in the boxing or MMA betting is way more worth it in this case.

exactly right.
if betting with friends it will be better. because both of them really don't know the result of the match.
maybe it's true that the reason the sportbook doesn't provide that type of bet is because it could have been manipulated by the match organizers to deceive the sportbook.

to be honest I prefer betting in casinos or other sports than betting on those friendly games.

WWE is still exist and you can watch on Youtube, but WWE isn't hype anymore because many people leave it due to scripted matches. Yeah boxing and MMA seems to be a real fight and doesn't manipulated, but usually the judges make a controversial scorecard and many people tend to accuse the scorecard being robbed since they thought the loser should be won and the winner should be lost.

i would never want to bet on a WWE match, i prefer to bet on UFC fights because they are very clear and real.  WWE is just entertainment and Vince McMahon has ever acknowledged that the settings for every WWE match are all the winning results in every WWE match that has taken place.   

When I was young and a big fan of wrestling I question why there are no blood even though both fighters are hitting each other with bare hands and why these wrestlers do not respect the referees and why other fighters can interfere with other matches something that did not exist in other combat sports.

I found later when I'm growing up that all of it is scripted, they did and still do it for entertainment which is why there is no blood and no broken arms but surprisingly it's ok for me because I get entertained and still do it because there are no boring matches but wrestling has great dramas in the olden days.
Like the Hogan - Andre and Hacksaw Duggan - Andre the Giant face-off.

Sportsbooks cannot profit from those games where the outcome of the game is predetermined. Due to which they don't run these type of  games. In this platform only bets can be placed with close friends or directly with any gambler. Otherwise chances of losing the bets are high. Nowadays there are lots of different types of games to place bets so one can only enjoy the game without placing bets on such games. It is true that people interest on the game is gradually decreasing.

There are some sportsbook that offers WWE betting but it’s not available on crypto casino. Regarding predetermined sports, Virtual Sports and Entertainment such as Oscar Awards is a predetermined event which sportsbook offering.

All the games is not run by the sportsbook and also they can have profit on it since it has a house edge while the odds they are giving is always in their favor. Also the bettors don’t have access on this predetermined sports result like this WWE.

Even though the sportsbook that adds PPV WWE fights but not many people want to be involved in entertainment fights and all the winning results are determined before the match, but if you want to try it then choose a bet for fighter Roman Reign because he is undefeated even in the WrestleMania fight later, all his brothers will help for his win, so it's also not bad to gamble to gain advantage the fighter has been set to win in every match, but competitors from the AEW ring are better than WWE because they fight wildly and don't care who wins the fight, they are also supported by sportbook for PPV fight .

Can you be kind enough to mention the sportbook that support bet on WWE and AEW fights?
Not to bet at the moment, but I did follow it up for some time, then decide whether to wager some money it or not.

Like I said in one of my previous comments, it is not interesting betting on games where I already 100 percent sure who the winner would be, well, it can actually be interesting for a while, but in the long run, it's not, since part of the beauty and fun of betting is, not being so sure of who would win or lose the match  this is how we get the adrenaline hormones activated.

Wrestling is a skillfully created show that has a huge number of fans around the world. I was interested in watching these shows as soon as they became available in my country. I quickly got bored of it, as I prefer real fights such as boxing, kickboxing, UFC. I definitely won't bet on wrestling and I don't understand people who do.

If you are a real bettor then for sure this WWE wont really be included into your lists unless if you are a die hard fan then you would really be making up some considerations for you to make up some bets but if you are really that targeting or pertaining on making profits then it wont really be that ideal for you to do so.We do know that these fights are scripted on which it is really just that right that you would be knowing that results or outcomes is already that predetermined.So its never been worth to take up some bets.For me its never been that interesting because it is already that fixed. You cant really be that so sure because you do know that it was fixed.No matter how hard you do make up some analysis on whose gonna win, it would be still useless.

I think this is where betting gets a little crazy.  Since these are fixed fights where the outcome is already known by some it sets an unfair advantage.  I don't know how you could trust the lines on these since some people who know the outcomes can literally skew the line however they want.  I guess if you were to bet I'd follow the big bets since they are likely from a source with inside info on the matches.

when I was a child about 15 years ago, I really liked WWE and my favorite was the royal rumble match, even I often bet with my friends for WWE matches at that time, but after many people said WWE was fake, I forgot about it and never bet on WWE again

In fact, I no longer have the intention to watch WWE events, it's more exciting and challenging to watch UFC or boxing imo

As a child why growing up I saw WWE as the best sports, will even go to the point of practicing it at home, when it was written DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME 😂😂, When we got to some certain point, you will ask yourself if I’m fighting for money, is this how I will be behaving?. The fake in that sports is much like they already fixed every behind, and still people will be running to go and get ticket the watch them, I’m still surprised at it. WWE should be removed from betting because is always a fixed sport so while waste our money on some thing that have already been fixed.

If there are providers and bettors, it won't be removed into the bookies because they earn from it. Coming from the losses of bettors and the commissions that they get.

Yeah, it's scripted and such but its entertaining. The reference of where we bet should be only to ourselves even if we don't like how scripted they was, I'm expecting that there will be countless of bettors that would still like to bet on it for fun.

No matter how haters would be seeing this about WWE but still there are solid ones who do still support with this kind of fixed match or already determined.This is why it is really depending on someone
whether they are a fan of it or not but in general sense on which it isnt something interest on betting on games which are known to be fixed.Yeah you can enjoy those fights but we know
that it is really that scripted.

Where's the fun of that? Its true that as long there are bookies who do offer such odds and bet lines then for sure there would be people who would be placing up their bets
with these fights.
