Placing bet on WWE

[Merit.s]

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.

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.

This may shock a large amount of you, but the majority of online betting sites and brick-and-mortar sportsbooks offer betting lines for the WWE. Yes, WWE betting sites actually exist. Now, I can hear a lot of the cynics out there gasping at the thought of betting on pro wrestling and its predetermined outcomes.

However, you should know that WWE betting is one of the fastest-growing niches within the sports betting industry. Furthermore, it can provide bettors with some great opportunities to increase their bankroll

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.

[Frankolala]

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.

[romero121]

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.

[ralle14]

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.

[Hispo]

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).
