how the fuck do you even make money betting on pro wrestling where the outcome is 99% predictable

Bro every single AEW world title change has been telegraphed months in advance, also making every title defense incredibly predictable
It's one of the reasons why WWE schizo booking like putting the title on Jinder and Goldberg beating the fiend, despite being horrible decisions had an unintended positive consequences of conditioning the audience to never fully rule out what they think is an unexpected option

reminds me of the Vegas betting on who's showing up at the Rumble and people still bet on Ultimate Warrior and Hogan coming in

You can already bet on big PPVs in the UK. Never done it, but it seems like easy money most of the time. Of course they could always fucking swerve you.

Imagine main eventing Wrestlemania and not knowing if you are going to win until an hour before your match.

I'd probably drop 5 or 10 bucks to make PPV main events more exciting, although its bullshit that in CA sportsbetting is technically illegal. The indians went to war with the online sites last election cycle and dumped hundreds of millions into negative advertising

I'd bet on all the Saudi events because all the crazy shit could happen since anyone could "be" Yokozuna or Ultimate Warrior and show up there.

some bookies already offer this, the amount you can bet is severely limited, if their is the slightest suspicion that someone with knowledge of the outcome has put money down, they will pull the market, or if one side of the book gets too much money on it they will also pull it.

long story short it's stupid as fuck.

I thought that DraftKings shit they get sponsored by was betting on scripting match results, and I assume it's legal if they push it on the show?
