Smackdown – How to Bet on Wrestling

If you’re a sports bettor, then its likely you have tried your hand at betting on football – and the main sports out there, including boxing. However, many haven’t tried their hand at betting on wrestling… and we really can’t see why. It adds extra excitement to an already very thrilling sport.

Any fan of wrestling will know the rising heartbeat as your favourite wrestler enters the ring to his soundtrack – the crowds cheering (or booing). Any fan of betting will know the butterflies you get in your stomach when you’re in line for a win and your bet looks to be coming through. So, the combination is breathtaking. But where do you start?

Finding the Best Betting Site and Bonus

The first thing you want to do is take advantage of the best welcome offers out there when choosing your betting site. One of the best around at the moment is the current Betclic bonus. Currently, this is cashback, so you really can get more for your money when making your first wrestling bet… which makes it even more fun. Make sure you read all the bonus instructions first though, so you don’t miss out!

Once you have signed up and claimed your offer, you then need to check out what different markets and fights are available. Most sites do offer a great variety of WWE fixtures, so you should find plenty to bet on. Whether you’re betting on the Friday night fixtures or Saturday Smackdown outcomes – or whether you’re betting on the main events such as the Royal Rumble, you’ll find a bet that offers great value if you know what you’re looking for.

Do Your Homework

If you do want to bet on the wrestling, then you have to bet with your head and not your heart. This is the same for any sport. If you want to just bet for fun and not care whether you make much money, then sure, bet on your favourite. But, if you want to bet to make a profit, then you need to know your sport inside out. The more you know about wrestling, the better. So, if you’re a huge WWE fan, then you’re already halfway there to making a successful bet.

However, even if you already know a lot, it never hurts to do your homework. You should check out past stats, current form, injuries, news – and anything that you feel is relevant to the fight outcome. Knowledge is power – and that is very true for sports betting. Arm yourself with an arsenal of facts and stats to put yourself in the best position to deal a TKO to the bookies.

Pick Your Market Wisely

The best thing about betting on wrestling is that you aren’t just restricted to betting on who will win the fight. You have also a number of other options that will either make the bet riskier or less risky. So, for example, if you want to up the stakes a bit, you could bet on the winner of the fight and the method of victory (pinfall/submission/any other method). You could also simply bet on the winner alone, or the method of victory alone. If you bet that the method of victory is pinfall, then it doesn’t matter who wins, as long as the win comes by way of pinfall.

Enjoy Yourself

The main thing about betting on wrestling is that you get as much enjoyment out of it as possible. Wrestling is one of the biggest sports around, and you bet on it to give it the added extra bit of fun. The most important thing is to not get too serious, if it’s no longer fun, then don’t do it. So, grab yourself your bonus, check out all the markets available and do your homework. You will then be in the best position to enjoy betting on wrestling – and getting yourself a knockout win.
