"WWE Betting League - Bet 2 - Wrestlemania"

And so we are finally here 'at the grandest stage of em all' as good ol JR would say - Wrestlemania, a PPV that in 1987 at the Silverdome, had over 90,000 fans watch Hulk Hogan bodyslamming Andre the Giant to the mat.

Whilst the Wrestlemania these days falls short by a long way to matching the glory days of the late 80's and 90's, Wrestlemania is still a massive occasion with over 50,000 fans expected to attend this year. Whilst the matches this year aren't as impressive as the lineups of a few years back, theres at least 2 matches on the card that everyone is looking forward two, no not the Main Events suprisingly, but the potentially brilliant HBK, Angle match and the Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

As regards the betting for Wrestlemania 21, there will 2 Main Bets in which you must bet on both.

After No Way Out's bets, it seems the people who betted big on a JBL victory stormed ahead in the league, with the rest seeming a little reserved in betting big on a JBL victory in the Barbed Wire Steel Cage match and probably regretting so.

Each optional bet allows you to bet up to a maximum of 20 points, which is stated in the guidelines for the bet.

However, it seems a little unfair for me to DQ the bet, so I'll restrict it to 20 so that the bet counts.

You'll be disqualified if you do it again though.

OK Thanks

I'll have to watch it again but I think it was twice.

Hey Figo...how many times do you count as Angle locking in the ankle lock?

Oops. Just realised I forgot to place my bets. Ah well, at least I didn't lose anything :-s

People who betted on Optional Bet 2 (Just Grandprix I think) will not lose any points seeing as it was just a 1 round bout.

Damn! I lost 47 points on the main bet! Double Damn!

Hm....didn't go too well for me this time, hm.
