How to Bet on WWE Matches

While WWE matches might be scripted, several sportsbooks allow you to bet on the outcomes since the script isn’t publicly available before airing live. WWE storylines are also constantly changing to keep the entertainment fresh and unpredictable. That makes WWE matches worth betting for wrestling fans, although most sportsbooks limit the odds.

But how can you place bets on WWE matches online? Here is a brief guide on placing bets on wrestling matches.

Types of WWE Bets to place

Betting on WWE matches is different from other mainstream sports on Betway like basketball or football. After all, there is no combat sport where the opponents are allowed to smash each other using ladders, chairs, and other hard objects. That explains why WWE betting markets are limited depending on the betting site you choose. However, there are three common types of bets that you can find on most betting platforms, including:

Moneyline – Also called the match winner, this is the most common WWE betting market. The punter only needs to predict who will win a fight accurately.

Prop bets – Props are bets that typically don’t relate directly to the outcome of a match or the storyline. For instance, a leading betting platform like Betway may allow you to bet on whether a person will make a surprise entry in the ring during a particular match.

Futures – Some sports betting platforms allow their punters to wager on WWE events that will be on the program after several weeks or months. That includes betting on who will be the next champion or who will feature in the WWE Hall of Fame.

How to place bets on WWE events

Now that you understand the most common type of bets, the next step should be understanding how you can place your bets. Here is a step-by-step guide:

1.       Choose a reputable betting site

Find a reliable betting site that offers WWE betting and create your account. That should be a straightforward process since most online bookmakers make the sign-up process seamless to encourage new players to join the bandwagon.

2.       Make a deposit

After creating an account, head to the payments page and make a deposit using the available banking options. Some sites offer a welcome bonus awarded automatically, but others require you to enter a promotion code to redeem the bonus.

3.       Place your first WWE bet

Place your first WWE bet by going to the entertainment page and choosing the event you want to wager on.

4.       Cashout after the match

If you place a successful WWE bet, you can continue placing other bets or cash out your winning. If you choose to cash out, go to the cashier’s page and withdraw your funds.

WWE Events to Bet on

Since 1985, WWE has hosted over 1200 events, ranging from minor televised events to premium live tournaments. That means there are at least one or two WWE events each month. However, the organizers’ big four events are Royal Rumble, Wrestle Mania,  Survivor Series and Summer Slam.
