The best online sports betting sites on wrestling betting in MD are the usual suspects – DraftKings, PointsBet, FanDuel, BetMGM, and BarStool Sportsbook. You cannot really go wrong with any of these, but since each offer may vary slightly, as does each person’s preferences, we will take you through a list of options to consider.

Be assured, though, that whether you are betting on events (like Monday Night RAW, Wrestlemania, Survivor, or the Royal Rumble), NCAA Wrestling, or International Events like Olympic Wrestling, each of these prime online betting sites will have you covered.

You should set some goals

Before you start, ask yourself the question of whether it’s plausible that you will win consistently, say, 55-60% of the time. If the answer is “no” or “I’m not sure,” you are part of the majority of bettors who will lose money more often than they win.

There’s no shame in this. That’s how sportsbooks make money and stay in business! For you as an individual who is wrestling betting in MD, though, this means that you may want to shift your objectives from “win” to “have fun” and don’t go broke. A few tips:

• Limit your deposits and account balance in each sportsbook
• Bet no more than 5% (perhaps half as much) of the money in the account on individual wagers.
• Don’t get swayed by live-action to where you bet up or beyond your basic strategies – intuition can be your friend till it becomes costly.

How does Wrestling betting work in Maryland?

The ways to win a wrestling fight include Pin or Fall, Disqualification, and Points.

The first two result in immediate victory and defeat. The points are awarded for specific events such as Takedown, Reversal, Escape, Near Fall, Illegal Hold, Unsportsmanlike Conduct, or Unnecessary Roughness. The points total at the end of a full bout determines the winner if there has not been a result during the match.

Betting is usually offered based on winners, losers, duration of the bout, manner of the win, and a host of other features. Some common bets are explained below.

Straight wagers

This is the equivalent of a straight moneyline bet in other sports. For each bout, a favorite (negative odds) and underdog (positive odds) are posted. Pick your wager in terms of the winner. Wagers can be placed by bout, event or to win a seasonal belt or championship.

Proposition bets

There can be a large number of event specific prop bets, including but not limited to:

• Points spread
• Over/unders on the number of rounds the fight lasts
• How long will a particular wrestler last?
• Manner of victory
• Special bets such as whether a wrestler who has never won will in fact collect his first win

There can even be prop bets on non-sporting events, such as who will enter the ring first during a bout.

Special event bets

Special events, such as those sponsored by the World Wrestling Entertainment, can be the occasion for special games, betting lines and promotions. Check with your sportsbook before each event.

If you do bet on WWE in Maryland, don’t worry about the fact that the games are “fixed.” Very few people know what the outcome is going to be, so betting on Wrestlemania, for example, is totally legit for you and the others from MD who are betting on wrestling.

Live betting can be the most fun for wrestling fans everywhere, provided they don’t get carried away in the spur of the moment. Live-action could see shifting odds, plus a whole lot of new bets – updated or props.
