    KEY POINTS

    Betting on scripted matches..... No reason to think this won't end up in massive corruption.

    Better yet...betting on a result that can be changed at a moment's notice if the betting on one side or another is too lopsided.

    Welp this takes the cake and has finalized my opinion that we are generally, as humans, receding intelligently….

    please someone dig up this is some fake account ruse of some sort.

    If you're looking for sports betting predictions that take a more analytical approach, there's a great resource I found that provides some great [NFL sports picks] for free.

    Why is this surprising? People have been betting on the NBA for years!

    Refs betting on the scripted NBA is like the writers from the WWE betting on their shit product.

    Thanks for sharing that cool article. As a gambler, I think it's pretty exciting that WWE is considering legalizing it. Can't wait to see if major betting companies get in on the action. I've been betting a lot at betcanada365.ca from my house, but it must feel even better right at the stadium. I think it will get even more people to buy tickets to sports. It's a game-changer for sure!

    When the bets pour in for the favorite and you, the group deciding the outcome realize that just 10k ok the underdog will get you many more … relaxed and sensuous ladies … that night. Then you check your powder box and see how low it is.

    THAT is when you know who’s winning that match…

    YEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWW
