Here's the game if you've never played. You have one thousand (1000) dollars to spend. You must spend all of it. The money you make comes from the different odds on different wrestlers. Obviously, the higher the risk, the higher the payoff could be.
Example: You bet $500 on Undertaker to win the Royal Rumble at 7:1 odds, you win $3,500. You bet $200 on Austin to win at 1:1 odds, you win $200.

Here's my bets: $200 on Angle to win in the Rumble, $200 on HHH to win in the Rumble, $300 on Jericho to retain the Undisputed Title, $200 on Flair to win the Owner Match and my long shot $100 on Tazz/Spike to retain the Tag Titles
That 10 grand in the bank baby. Everything else seems more or less believable, but 10:1 against retaining? I don't think I'd give 10:1 odds against anyone in any straight-up PPV match.

$500 on Triple H $300 on Jericho to retain $100 on Flair $100 on Any Other Wrestler in the Rumble (Somehow I have this idea in my head that Jericho will find a loophole and get in the Rumble, think I have been working too hard lately..)
$500 on HHH to win the Rumble $200 on Any Other Wrestler winning the Rumble $150 on Flair defeating McMahon $1.98 on Stratus over Jazz $148.02 on Jericho (who I think will lose the title between Rumble and Wrestlemania).
A thousand dollars? SWEET! Now I can get a new Devils jersey, a Nords jersey, maybe a Trenton Titans jer-::gets slapped::-OW! OK! I'll bet! I'll bet! Yeesh...
$2.00 on Tazz/Spike to retain. $1.00 on Jazz to beat Trish $7.00 on Flair to beat Vince to a bloody pulp $10 on Edge to retain $80 on Jericho to retain $900 on HHH to win the Rumble.
What? I can smell a Rumble win by the Game this time around. He is That Damn Good™, apparently.

20,000:1 odds on Maven? Don't know if I agree with that... I could think of a much more plausible story that would justify him winning than say, Bossman. But with odds like that, I might as well put a little money on him.
$400 on HHH $300 on Jericho $100 on Spike/Tazz $200 on Vinne Mac
One thing I've learned... never bet against a McMahon. This is the man who put himself over Austin in the actual RUMBLE. I'd rather be pleasantly surprised and be out a 100 bucks than be pissed off AND broke. This way you win either way. (Same with Jericho and Spike/Tazz)

$250 on Flair $250 on Jericho $250 on Regal $250 on Triple H

I don't think I'd give 10:1 odds against anyone in any straight-up PPV match.
Sorry, let me amend that. I don't think I'd give 10:1 odds against anyone in any straight up PPV match ever since Hulk Hogan retired.
Actually, I can think of one. I would have given Meat 10:1 odds against Kurt Angle in Angle's debut match (was that at the R.R. two years or three years ago?)
