Ukubheja okusemthethweni kumameshi e-WWE? NFW, bathi ukugembula opharetha

Kuyacaca ukuthi kungani Umhlaba Wrestling Entertainment angafuna izihloko zezindaba mayelana nethuba lokuthi ababheji bavunyelwe ukubheja ngokusemthethweni kumameshi abhaliwefuthi akukona konke okuhlobene nokuzama ukushayela phezulu intengo yokuthengisa engaba khona yenkampani.

Ukubheja kukhulisa ukuzibandakanya kwabalandeli. Vele ubuze i-NFL, i-MLB, i-NCAA – ngisho nabantu abahlela i-ping pong. Bonke bathola ukukhuphuka okukhulu lapho abalandeli bekwazi ukubheja emidlalweni.

I-Massachusetts isanda kwethula ukubheja kweselula ngoLwesihlanu, kodwa akekho ongabheja ngokusemthethweni kumameshi “NgoLwesihlanu Night SmackDown”. “I-WWE akuyona iligi yezemidlalo evunyelwe,” i- I-Massachusetts Gaming Commission ukhomba.

Abalawuli beColorado abajabulile ngethemba ngisho nokuntanta. “I-Colorado Division of Gaming ayikho okwamanje futhi ayizange icabange ukuvumela ukubheja kwezemidlalo emidlalweni ye-WWE,” basho. “Asikho isikhathi lapho umlawuli wezemidlalo e-Colorado ekhulume ne-WWE mayelana nokufaka ama-wager ohlwini lwethu olugunyaziwe lokubheja.”

Umthetho wase-Colorado wenqabela “ababheja emicimbini enemiphumela engaguquki noma ebikezelwe noma ngenhlanhla,” futhi lokho kuhlanganisa nama-Academy Awards. Ezinye izifundazwe eziyisikhombisa ziyakuvumela ukubheja kwama-Oscar, ngandlela thize. I-Indiana ne-New Jersey azikuvumeli ukubheja bukhoma, futhi zikhawulela usayizi wama-wagers.

Njengasezifundazweni eziningi, iMichigan yamukela kuphela izicelo ezivela kubaqhubi bokugembula noma amapulatifomu, futhi i-WWE ayizange isenze ngisho isicelo, ngokusho kwebhodi lokulawula imidlalo yesifundazwe. Yakhipha a isitatimende somphakathi ukweluleka i-WWE ukuthi isebenzisane nemboni yezokudlala.

Lokho kungase kube isithiyo esikhulu kunokwedlula abalawuli bemidlalo.

“NFW!” kuphendula u-Adam Greenblatt, oyi-CEO ye-BetMGM, ukuthi angakulangazelela yini ukwamukela ama-wager kumameshi abhaliwe e-WWE. I-BetMGM ingumholi wemakethe yase-US ku-iGaming, noma imidlalo yasekhasino edlalwa ku-inthanethi. Wayekhuluma ku iGamingNext, ingqungquthela yezimboni, ekuqaleni kwaleli sonto. (I-NFW imele ukuthi “no f—-ing way.” Khuluma ngokushaya phansi!)

Impendulo evela ku-FanDuel ibingemnandi kangako noma ibingeyomphakathi, kodwa umkhulumeli uthe mancane amathuba okuthi umholi wemakethe yezwe yokubheja ezemidlalo avume ukubheja.

Amakhosi Asalungiswa waphika, wathi kuzoba kubalawuli.

I-FanDuel , ephethwe ngu- I-Flutter Entertainment, ithi ukuvumela ukubheja kuma-Academy Awards, kanye ngonyaka, kuhluke ngokuphelele ekucabangeni ubukhulu bezinhlelo ezibhalwe masonto onke, okungenani kabili ngeviki kusuka ku-WWE.

Imboni yezokugembula esemthethweni ibeka phambili ekugwemeni amahlazo. I-American Gaming Association, emele abaqhubi bezohwebo nabezizwe, itshele i-CNBC: “Bobabili abalawuli nabaqhubi kumele babe nokuzethemba ubuqotho bemiqhudelwano.”

Abangaphakathi kwezokugembula bayangabaza ukuthi inani elikhulu lokuhlupheka kanye nengcuphe yokubheja emicimbini ebhalwe phansi libiza lokho okungenzeka kube okunesizotha ngokwemibandela yokubheja.

“Ekugcineni, iningi lababambe iqhaza embonini libukeka libheka ukubheja kwe-WWE njengento eyinselele kakhulu kunokubheja emibukisweni yemiklomelo,” kusho umqondisi ophethe we-Sharp Alpha Advisors u-Lloyd Danzig.
