Yeah. Definitely harder than it sounds. I don't even understand. Surely any good bookies offering WWE betting would have the inside scoop already. The lines basically tell you who's going to win, eh.

They do not usually "know" until right before the PPV.

Books had to pay multiple people upwards of $20k due to Brock Lesnar beating Undertaker at WM in 2014.

Its the guy from Hot Tub Time Machine. Its too bad he wasn't in anything else

I liked it for what it was. A big silly almost superhero movie. It might have been the most over the top movie I can remember.

I kept thinking they were going to kill the Buster off so I was waiting for that the whole time. I'm glad they didn't.

The F&F series is basically the Mission: Impossible of car movies. Both started off semi-grounded and realistic (F&F more so than MI) and both have become some over the top crazy shit.

I'm going to miss PW. I agree that they sent him off the right way. Killing his character would've been terrible. They did it right. RIP.

What did you think of Furious 7?

It was all right. Better than #6, I think. The script has been a little iffy on both the last two entries, though.

I'd like to see the series get back to its grounded, street racing roots but at this point I doubt that will ever happen.

What did you think?

What did you think of Furious 7?

[SPX]

I figure it's something like that.

Looks more like Chuck Liddell has one scene and goes down faster than when Rampage took his title.

[SPX]

Apparently Chuck Liddell is in an upcoming movie with Dolph Lundgren and Mickey Rourke. And the amazing thing is that I think the movie actually looks pretty good.

Just PPVs.

As for being harder than it sounds, as you can see from the list Luke posted on the "sure things" the lines are just insane.

I feel like this has to be a whole lot harder than it sounds. There's no way it's that easy. Do you know if they take bets for regular Raw and shit or just "PPVs"?

Just PPVs

[Éire]

Basically you're just betting on who you think the writers have chosen to win the match. If I remember correctly, the bets were capped at like $50 so that if you had inside knowledge you couldn't get rich on it. Though I could be mis-remembering.
