Yeah I never understood that. What's to stop any WWE official or wrestler betting big and cleaning out those bookies.

Yeah, I have always wondered that myself. I presume it is because booking can always be changed on the fly but you could always lay your bets off if the outcome is changed.

Hahaha this is such a dumb thread. Stamford is barely mobbed up. Are there mobsters there? Like 5 and its not like they run the city..

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.

Extortion is a jackass, second he is totally clueless .

https://youtu.be/y0cy4_nlHOE This made me think of this thread . The host mentions about mob guys bringing involved with wrestling bookers/ wrestling .


Btw Hey extortion maybe you should do some research on Ct before typing. At least 2 families have some kinda crew there.

I think Extortion is right. There's been very little (and minor) mob activity in Connecticut in recent years. The last (relatively) big Gambino case was the DePreta bust in 2012. And, except for Megale in the mid-2000's, whatever has been left up there had been under a NY-based crew. As for the Genovese, you probably have to go back to 2006 for the Ianniello/Galante waste hauling bust. O'Nofrio is from East Haven but he's acting captain of the NY-based crew (under Conrad Ianniello) which now seems to have oversight of whatever is left in both Connecticut and Springfield.

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

[Slumpy]

And it’s not really about where it’s located it’s more about him destroying all the territories and I’m sure some of those territory owners were paying something to a local mob to operate certain venues , Merch motels restaurants transportation maybe even wrestlers

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

Yeah I bet. I’m talking about years ago like 60’s 70’s 80’s

I'm not the most knowledgeable on bookmaking so I don't exactly how this works. 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?

Circled betting means there's a limit on how much you can bet. I'll give you an example: last year I knew who won the most recent season of the reality show Survivor because they tape it months in advance. If I wanted to make a bet, I could've betted 50 bucks max with the bookies that take Survivor wagers, and win like 30 bucks. Basically, when there are pre-determined factors, you can't take the bookie to the cleaners. It's almost like they are making a living out of it.

[Pogo The Clown]

Yeah that makes sense. So the bookie can't really be hurt by such a loss. It is almost not even worth it for an insider to place the bet. Thanks Eboli.

Castellano allowed Gigante to take out a Gambino capo in Connecticut which was a major reason for his assasination.
