In case you are unfamiliar: SaltyBet.comThis site streams simulated CPU fights between an array of over 13,000 random characters (ranging from Street Fighter to Justice League to The Simpsons) using the freeware MUGEN fighting game software. People place bets on who they think will win using phony monopoly money... The odds are decided by who is betting on what... The more unpopular the bet, the bigger the payout one receives. Each member is granted $400 to start (with a $10 minimum to fall back on in the event you go bankrupt). I swear, once you get into it, it's crazy addictive. Now, while streaming the actual Raw television show is out of the question for this kind of site, the betting system alone would make for a PERFECT second screen experience. Just before a match starts, members place their bets. While I wish WWE was smart enough to create this themselves, there's no reason why a fanmade version couldn't work. Obviously, this would only work for live shows. So Raw and PPVs only. But I guarantee this idea would help DVR numbers go down and live viewership go up.

I think it'd work better for WWE related video games than the actual shows.
On another note, why the hell have I not heard of this site until just now?

How long would it last before WWE starts changing finishes in the middle of matches to mess with people betting because how dare you say who wins the match I'm Vince McMahon dammit!

It's not that new, it's just that NeoGAF and Jeff Gerstmann suddenly hopped on it and everyone followed. When I read the topic I actually pictured this being done with Fire Pro which could work.
