WWE in talks with state gambling regulators to legalize betting on scripted match results


https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/08/wwe-betting-scripted-match-results.html


I can't even imagine how they will be able to pitch this to get it approved.
link to original post



I already get offers, all free contests, to guess what will happen in certain matches. ‘Who will win, Lesnar or Cena’? How many F-5’s will Lesnar hit? Will there be outside interference? Will there be a disqualification?

Point being real money will be given out for selecting correctly. I have a 0.001% chance of getting them all correct. The actual wrestler would have a 100% chance. There are probably a few dozen people with the knowledge of the script.

I've still got several friends in the business. Two years ago, one of them won a major AEW title and found out about fifteen minutes before the match. His contract called for him to win the title by a specific date, but he didn't get a chance to call his family after he was told.
It's an idiotic idea to allow betting on these events, but since a full script of a RAW turned up a few years ago, the business is much more on a need to know basis. BTW- the person whose script was leaked was fired and banned from WWE events forever.

Interesting. If a contract that specifically stated that the wrestler would win the title became public that would be bad too. Golly, I thought that was decided in the ring….

In NY you can’t bet on ‘voted’ outcomes, like league MVPs, or ‘selection’ outcomes, like who will be the number one pick in the NFL draft. The Bears GM might have an advantage. There is a small chance they don’t trade it and take Jalen Carter. You can probably get 10-1 on him or something like that.

Gee, dont they bet on the Oscars ? Why not wrestling ? Who cares if someone with inside info makes a profit ? What matters is the bookie making a profit. Why worry about the chumps on the losing end ?

If they could find a way to write 2 different script endings that are randomly selected after the betting was closed(as the bell rings the wrestlers and refs find out what script to follow). I could see this working and being very good for wrestling.

I guess the random outcomes would have to be weighted toward the people they want to win the matches. I dont think they could have a 50/50 chance or that would screw up the wrestling model and overall storylines. That would really screw up the betting lines as well, I would assume most of the money would come in on the most liked wrestler?

Why would it be good for wrestling? The WWE won't make money off it. If all the little Jimmy's start betting, half of them won't have money to buy merchandise.
There are a few matches that the results were changed last minute, sometimes without one of the wrestlers knowing. The Montreal screw-job is the most famous. Brett Hart was leaving and was going to lose the title the next week but McMahon got mad at him and had the ref say he submitted when he hadn't.

Because whenever people can bet on something it drastically increases viewership, popularity, and new fans, that leads to more merchandise, more PPV, that would lead to more sponsorship deals... more everything.

Why would they want it if they themselves didn't think it would be beneficial to them? Of course, they will make money off of it.

I don't even know how this is a serious question. Do some research and you'll see what impact sports/whatever betting has on the popularity of sports/whatever.

This is the first year many states had legal gambling. I do not see a large increase in ratings. In fact, most regional sports networks are getting phased out due to declining viewership and revenue.
The WWE is a carnival and anytime people talk about it is good for them. It may be sold soon so any publicity or nonsense about them accepting bets helps them.

I don't know if it's just a clever ploy or not. I am all but certain being able to bet on something highly increases the popularity of whatever that thing is.

I did a quick search and found this interesting. I haven't any clue how accurate this information is or anything. https://variety.com/2022/sports/tech/how-sports-betting-is-driving-fan-engagement-viewership-1235460169/

Sneak peek.

% of Sports Gamblers Who Watch Sports More Than Usual When Betting on a Game. The highest was NFL at 67%. The lowest was golf adding 29%.


My nonscientific observation. My ears have always perked up whenever I heard females talking about sports betting.
It's very telling when you have a bunch of cocktail waitresses, and female bartenders huddled around the service station talking about who they have on the Sunday/ Monday games as they are looking up at the television, and you hear words like parlays, overs/unders, 6.5, 7, 3.5 points, etc. FYI I can't recall ever hearing the word money line. From my observation, they are usually betting on the spread.

I understand it's a unique situation being in LV casinos and all.

I know my wifely wouldn't have much interest in watching any sport/event other than the fact that she knows I have money on it. She enjoys watching MMA, Boxing, or a little football with me whenever I watch.

Still betting on all the XFL overs.

SAB vs SSD: O/U37.5. The Halftime score is 26 to 10, but never count your chickens before they hatch. Far too many times have there been situations where you can only lose if ZY AND Z happen s, and of course, it does.

In one of the last games I watched, I needed one score to go. At the start of the 4th quarter, it was 1st and goal from a yard or 2 away, they go 4 and out. there were no scores in the 4th quarter, LOL!

The quarterback for the Sea Dragons looked decent but the rest of the game was rather poor.

When did the state ever have any credibility in this area ? I can remember when Don King burst onto the boXing scene, Editorials and polaticians focused on Don being a former numbers runners rarely was there a comment about him shooting in the back someone trying to rob one of his gambling games nor the prison sentence he served for stomping a man to death over a $600 debt, The focus was always on the evil numbers racket and poor mothers betting 50 cents each day instead of buying milk for their babies. Of course the numbers racket paid 700 to 1 and the state pays 500 to 1, and solicits mothers with tv commercials about some of the proceeds being used for park for her children to play in!

POTD - (pick of the day) dude had a winner yesterday - he picked Creighton - 5- he might be the real deal - let's see

his analysis of the Creighton game was 8 paragraphs long - deep

he has posted that he's 25-7-1 before the Creighton game -

If go to the google sheet I linked you can see the performance on all games for each day. Most days have been >60% on all picks. The NHL picks, and the NBA O/U have been particularly good.

His POTD is the game he considers a lock.
POTD Stats: +43.24U in 34 days | ≈65.86% ROI | Average odds -110



He updates the spreadsheet by early afternoon each day.

Plase do!!

Aside from the POTD, does he have other high-confidence picks we should take note of?

Normally, I'm not interested unless there's some type of math and logic behind it or a long history of success. I have just seen far too many models and handicappers that eventually fail.

With the advancement of computer web data harvesting and whatnot, I can see how there might be something there.



I seem to be getting more and more 100+% bonus offers and various promotions tossed at me, I can't even handle them all(they have betting limits and restrictions, so you can't jam it all on one big bet), I try to look for game values, but it's too time-consuming, so I'm good with random bets, something like this can't hurt. I will give it a try. Today's POTD is Booked.

I dunno about other high confidence bets - I don't wanna do some kinna in depth analysis

I don't think this guy is some kinna computer guy - I think he studies this stuff very hard - he writes a long, long analysis of the games - I think he loves doing this - it's his speculation

after all the buildup I gave this guy maybe he'll flop and I'll look like an idiot - it could happen_____________(-:/

My favorite justifications for the touts is something like "They are covering 76% of the time as a road underdog over the last 15 years when the starting point guard has four vowels in his first name".

gamerfreak's potd reddit dude is on Duke -3.5 over Tennesse - gametime 2:40 est


gamerfreak: this guy is your find - not mine - not trying to take credit - hope you don't mind me posting some of his picks

if you do lemme know and you can take over

Plase do!!

Aside from the POTD, does he have other high-confidence picks we should take note of?

Normally, I'm not interested unless there's some type of math and logic behind it or a long history of success. I have just seen far too many models and handicappers that eventually fail.

With the advancement of computer web data harvesting and whatnot, I can see how there might be something there.



I dunno about other high confidence bets - I don't wanna do some kinna in depth analysis

I don't think this guy is some kinna computer guy - I think he studies this stuff very hard - he writes a long, long analysis of the games - I think he loves doing this - it's his speculation

after all the buildup I gave this guy maybe he'll flop and I'll look like an idiot - it could happen_____________(-:/

MODEL EXPLANATION:
Model takes into consideration typical stat lines and historic data but pieces in sentiment analysis which scrapes discussion about the game across many forums and platforms to garner additional insight into potential emotional considerations. I assumed he starts there and then digs into the why and then he writes a long, long analysis of the games. I certainly hope that's the case.

Tennessee is definitely looking like the better team. I was rooting for Duke because of Scheyer.

Tennessee 65 - Duke 52


to be fair to the guy - I believe March Madness is more difficult and less predictable than regular season and Conference games

he points this out himself - it may be a while before he really shines

Well, he does get and take tips. Also, we don't know what his ultimate goal of giving out pick for free are. They all Eventually sell out.

Of course one pick means nothing, but my first exposure before a game he picked being Duke who was roasted as a favorite is not encouraging. I picked Duke as well so I know he’s no good!

I'm not giving up on this guy - he's 1-1 since 3/17 since I've been tracking him - he won the Creighton game yesterday - I saw the pick before the game started

if he wins tomorrow's pick he'll be 2-1 since then - that's 66.66%

I need to shut up and stop making a big deal out of each pick - let's see where he's at after 25 picks

I have gotten some amazingly lucky ‘good beats’ recently.
Parlay with Xavier -4.5. They are down most of the game. Even in the last minute. They go up 3 at the end. And are fouled with 1 second to go. Two foul shots. Cover!
Houston 4th team in parlay to all win by 11 or more. Other 3 coasting. Houston around even in last few minutes. Goes on a run to get up 7. Then they are the recipient of the ubiquitous useless fouls. 4 foul shots. Cover!

The offers have been great. Profit boosts up the wazoo. Free bets if you lose one leg on a parlay. Risk free bets. Tennis was great. Bet $100. They give you a free $50 bet immediately.

I have been playing his picks for about a month and can confirm he posts them before the game, and his record is legit.

March Madness is volatile. I’d expect his NHL and NBA picks to do better than the NCAA picks in the coming days.

I hope he keeps posting for MLB this summer. RIP steeldco

As far as motivation goes, I have no idea. If I had to guess it’s a data or computer science professional doing it as a hobby.

don't really know - yesterday I saw it at about 10:45 - but the NCAAB is starting much earlier than usual because of the tourney - the first game is at 11:00 est

I hope to catch his pick by keeping a tab open on his page and refreshing ever so often

okay, just saw his pick - very early

reddit guy potd:

Uconn -4.5 over Saint Mary's - he says take it up to 4.5 - 6:10 est

the line has already moved 1 point - it opened at 3.5___________________glta




a couple of personal thoughts:

Uconn has played a much tougher schedule which includes crushing Alabama

Uconn is aware of the astonishing upsets and will not take this game lightly

BetRivers has UConn -3.5 but slightly added juice at -113. I think that’s better than -4 and -110.
It’s an imperfect hedge for me as I have a 4 team parlay that the other 3 have hit already but I have St Mary’s money line as the 4th pick. So if UConn wins by 1-3 I lose everything.
I have 8 teamer (4 each day) that hit yesterday so am alive with Xavier, Duquesne, North Texas, and Gonzaga.

Yesterday had Princeton +5.5 and under 146.5. Princeton was killing Mizzou in a very low scoring game. There were probably 25 points scored in the last two minutes as even though down 18 or so Mizzou kept the silly fouling. Luckily Princeton missed a few so still stayed under 146.5. There was loud booing for each foul towards the end. I’m sure there are those who have figured out which coaches throw up the white flag appropriately and which don’t.

No -6. I got it at -6.5 at -105.

I’m a little ‘upset’ at Rice. I had Duquesne beating them in my two big parlays yesterday…..

Overall bad day for me but I was on the right side of bizarre ending in Gonzaga TCU. TCU is down 6 with game what looks like over, but there is 0.7 seconds left on the clock. The ‘etiquette’ in those situations is to just pass the ball in so the game ends. But the TCU inbounder rolls the ball 3/4 the way down the court. No defense is played. A TCU player picks it up and heaves a 30 footer…. Swish! The spread was 4.5! Over had already covered.

I seen it soon after he posted it. He said it wasn't up so he might have an alternative potd. I found Indiana state over Eastern Kentucky and got down. I missed the alternative afternoon game. Both lost.
