Next year I'm gonna remember that the big favorites don't lose and get value on them as we get closer to the event. I wonder if 5Dimes has some inside info? The biggest dog to hit was Jericho at +240 I believe

Why no music at the end for hbk? Seemed odd. Great match though

Well the HBK thing and Morrison turning heel soon. I took both into account and had the right side on each. The others were pure speculation...those I actually had knowledge about.

kapono, sorry about the triple H cock match!

I always lose 1 team, 1 player, 1 point losses on all my parlays!

damn, you had a great chance of winning $500 on wrestlemania

get them next time my friend...

utah losing at milwaukee cost me $1118 off a $24 team 12 favorite parlay like 3 friday nights ago plus another small parlay for another $200

6. ShowMiz -420, Cena -320, Taker -320 parlay, 25 to win 28.32
7. Taker -295, Bret Hart -350 parlay, 30 to win 21.65
8. HBK +280, 20 to win 56

Overall: 4-4, +$21.37

Not bad at all. A Sheamus victory would have gone from 4-4 and +$21.37 to 6-2 and +$499.50



Thanks again Hunter, you only cost me $470 you dick!

Not counting the HBK/Taker and Cena/Batista match, in which I had both sides in various parlays, I was 3-1 (ShowMiz, Jericho, and Hart as winners, Sheamus as loser)

 

Are you fucking serious?!?!?!?! You're pissed at Triple H for winning? You do realize this shit is set up. That fact that you bet on something that is pre determined in the first place trying to make money and not for entertainment value is fucking hilarious but hating on someone because they lost a staged match is fucking comical!  You're a fucking HUGE loser!

The NBA and NFL are predetermined and people bet those.  You dont know whos going to win the matches so why not bet them. Fuck off dickhead

This "fucking HUGE loser" won money on this "predetermined entertainment", so I can't really be that stupid, can I? It's my second year in a row of making money off of the Wrestlemania odds offered by 5Dimes. Next year will make three years in a row. If you see an opportunity to make money, YOU'RE the idiot if the only reason you don't take it is because its WWE, or hockey, or whatever.

Of course I'm aware its staged, I've been watching this shit for YEARS. My thinking on why Sheamus would beat HHH had nothing to do with "zomg Sheamus is tougher than HHH" or anything like that -- it had far more to do with backstage, behind the scenes stuff.

Did any other book offer lines?

But seriously, you should have done way better considering the following were beyond locks:

Taker
Cena
Hart
Mysterio
ShowMiz

Mysterio was most definitely not a lock (he was a +180 dog or so). Lots of speculation that he would be losing, joining the SES, and continuing their feud for a few more months.

Either way, all the other four were significant favorites (more than -240 or so), so the only real value was betting them in a parlay due to the $50 max bet limit. Plus, I wasn't completely sold that Batista didn't have a chance at winning (though that was wrong in retrospect, don't bet against Cena at WM.)

I look forward to next year to win some more money once WM comes around
