Take for instance the Royal Rumble or a big Wrestlemania match which I've seen sports betting sites take action on. The outcome for these big matches are often determined months in advance and are known by the top officials, writers and even a lot of the wrestlers. As the event draws near what stops any of these people from placing a big bet through a friend or relative and cleaning house?

Because events are circled bets limited

A perfect recent example is the streaker at the super bowl , he tried it and he won’t be getting g paid

I've worked in live touring for nearly a decade and the amount of run-ins I've had with the mafia thus far is 0.0

Why jump down the guy's throat for asking a question? Maybe he's younger and trying to learn a few things. We obviously know that some wrestlers were mobbed up...Personally, it is a good question since Vince M's dad operated in the 1930's, the mob owned prize fighters and venue's, why not wrestling? I think it comes down to you just being the raging prick that everybody has become accustomed to.

With all the informants flipping from Massino/Gravano/D'Arco/Fratianno - no one , I repeat no one , has ever said wrestling had to pay a tab to the local family. Wrestling was basically ignored by the bookies. The money was on baseball, pro fights, football and basketball. case closed- FINITO!

Of course it’s ignored by the bookies the outcome is predetermined
