Thanks to "MF", 3e6r.net reader, for this info below.

Last week, we got into online wagering of Wrestling events which I thought was flat out crazy. I received a TON of emails from visitors wanting additional info on wagering. Now I am not posting this to promote wagering whatsoever. However, if you are going to do it, make sure you are over 18, and dont do anything stupid.

Below is an email I received from a long time caller to our hotline. First, he explains that the wrestling bet website is a website that uses "play money". However, the same site has links to a betting website where you can wager real money:

"Anthony, I'm a long time caller to your line, and enjoy your work. As much as I'm into wrestling, I'm more into Sports Betting so I'd like to clear up some things from your report last night about this subject.

The website you mentioned does NOT take real money bets on Wrestling, it's just a play site. There IS a very established Sportsbook, Olympic Sports (thegreek.com) that has started taking bets on Wrestling, since the Wrestlemania PPV. They now take bets on the WWE PPV's, the NWA-TNA PPV's, and Raw main event(s). BUT, they only have a $50 limit per bet per player, and they move the lines drastically according to money bet.

They also don't just have win/lose bets, but weird happenings, such as who will get the first 2 count, who will land their signature move first, etc.. And they don't post obvious matches, like Brock- Big Show, or the Mania Kurt-Brock match. They have been RACKING UP on these bets, and that's why they are expanding them."

Thanks for reading.
