Oh man, why is our country becoming so stupid?
To: Tell It Right
I know...I thought this was the bee.
So WWE script writers just bet on the winner...guaranteed money maker.

Well, there’s a problem: the outcomes are scripted, sure, but those scripts change a lot more than bookers care to admit. Can you imagine a few million bet on what ended up being the Montreal Screwjob? lol

Well, they allow betting on political contests and those are rigged.

It wouldn’t surprise me if the outcome of many sporting events isn’t predetermined....not a bit......I guarantee it’s happened since the 1919 World Series

I keep on losing money betting on Hamlet to survive and become King of Denmark. And my $20 on Hans Gruber escaping with the stolen money? Right out the window!

Why not add betting to how movies are going to end as well?
I got $100 on Rambo beating the entire chinese army!
I got $50 on Odysseus making it back!

No chance anyone affiliated with pro wrestling would ever leak results.

I stopped watching sports after the Hee Hawaks lost to the Steelers in super bowl what ever.
More fun to watch local kids play.

Would not be much difference b/t pro wrestling matches and pro football games. Wrestling has long been recognized as being chorerographed and, in recent years, it is obvious the outcomes in pro football games is being ever-more managed.

Correction: WWE is in talks with NASCAR and state gambling regulators, in Colorado and Michigan to legalize betting on high-profile races and matches, according to people familiar with the matter.

Why not have people bet on scripted WWE matches? People already bet on scripted NBA, NFL, and MLB games.
