Amid allegations of employees betting on daily games using bulk data from customer lineups, both FanDuel and Draftkings will begin letting users bet on World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) matches.
A representative for DraftKings told ESPN, “They have been letting people bet on boxing for decades.”
Boxing has always had the fear that boxers could plan a match to allow for unlikely bets. “We already know wrestling is predetermined, so what’s the problem? The fans don’t know the outcomes and if they stray from the script, WWE CEO Vince McMahon would show wrath like the mighty Zeus himself.”
The concern is of employees or wrestlers betting on matches after having read the private script. “Oh, well, we didn’t think of that. I guess that is an advantage.”
