im pretty pumped MVP has a better shot then guys under contract

 

[FedEx227]

I'd take that Ziggler bet for sure. Wade Barrett at 50/1 is really cool too.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Are Jericho, MVP, and Morrison all expected to return? Lol.

 

[Loco]

Shelton Benjamin? mg2:

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

I dont know about Jericho, but Morrison & Benjamin were confirmed by Mike Johnson if that means anything to you. And Morrison only worked one of the three DGUSA dates this weekend (Fri), which gives him a day to travel.

He may have confirmed MVP too, I dont remember. Havent heard a peep from a legit source on Jericho though.

 

[Loco]

Fuck, I was planning on buying RR I wish I didnt see this thread and was surprised by the Benjamin appearance.

So... who is willing to actually place a bet on a pre-determined outcome event?

 

[SHOGUN]

So... who is willing to actually place a bet on a pre-determined outcome event?

The writers that know who is going to win. I'd be trying to make bank if I worked behind the scenes.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

So... who is willing to actually place a bet on a pre-determined outcome event?

I would.

Think about it this way. You still don't know. It's no different than gambling on the Oscars, which gets a ton of action. Those winners are in the envelop way before the event, pretty much the same thing.

In some ways, betting on wrestling is a safer bet than betting on sports. If you are savvy and follow the inner working closely, you can hit with pretty good consistency. This is why U.S. sportsbooks dont take this shit. That, and actual people "in the know" placing action.

I've never bet on it, but iirc WrestleMania was very easy to call, the only one I missed was Randy Orton over Kane. Would have come out ahead for sure.

 

[BigBiss]

I better get SB/MVP tag out of this

 

[JayDizzle]

Given that they've done last-minute changes in the past before (and the ultra-rare occasional ending where the wrong person goes over...), it might be fun to put a buck or two on the Rumble.

Ryback, Sheamus and Cena are easy bets.

Putting dough on Show to finally win the big one (not counting the one for the 'Wrestlemania 2000' year as he got in anyway with The Rock), Ziggler or a guy who already has a belt makes it interesting.

I'm sure Castagnoli wishes he'd get as far from The Miz as possible.

 

[BigBiss]

37 guys listed ???

 

[EmpireWF]

Morrison has been talked about as a return to WWE, I guess it's not 100% that he'll be in the Rumble.

 

Carlito is one name being thrown around, PWI says he'll be in the Rumble w/ Benjamin

Should be the first time since 2006 that the Rumble doesn't main even the card.

I'm expecting Cena and Rock win the respective matches. Hoping anyone else & Punk wins, though.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

I put money on a WrestleMania match last year and won good money. Got the tip from The Big Show.

 

[s@ppisgod]

Puttin all my Euros on Kofi. Always bet on black....

 

[JayDizzle]

Not that anyone should seriously worry about it but they have Miz and Castagnoli fighting on the 7:30/6:30 pre-card before the PPV tonight.

While you can see it on the 'E's site, Facebook and YouTube later... probably... it means more now that they're pulling double-duty and probably won't win even more.

Unless Sonjay Dutt strolls in to share his GASSSSS with everyone or something.
