I saw on 5 Dimes that they are offering odds are the result of John Cena and The Rock's match at Wrestlemania. I am pretty sure that everyone is aware that pro wrestling is fake and I have no idea why they would offer odds on it.
I didn't see odds on Fedor-Monson or any of the KSW fights from last week and I assumed it was because they feared the promotions would influence the results, but with the WWE the promotion clearly predetermines the result.
Any one know why they would put up a line on WWE?

The limit is usually like $20, so even if you knew the outcome you wouldn't make a huge profit. Honestly it's the same with Entertainment bets(e.g. Who will win Survivor 15), obviously some people know the outcome because it is pre-taped, but they obviously take enough money on both sides for it not to matter.

And if were led to a betting site to bet on WWE or entertainment, maybe you'll decide to bet on some other sports/play at the casino/etc while you're there.
