East vs West arm wrestling betting in Morocco

East vs West is a pay-per-view series of arm wrestling super-matches: every event is sold as a single evening, and the card is assembled bout by bout rather than drawn from a bracket. Engin Terzi founded the series in 2021, and the opening event took place in Istanbul on 12 June 2021. A standard bout runs until one puller takes three rounds, best of five; a title bout runs to four, best of seven. Both arms are contested, left and right. Six weight classes shape the cards: under 80 kg, welterweight, middleweight, light-heavyweight, heavyweight and super-heavyweight. Seventeen numbered events were staged between June 2021 and March 2025, at a pace of four to five per year. The first two seasons stayed in Turkey, in Istanbul and Yalova; later cards moved to Tbilisi in Georgia and to Orlando and Arlington in the United States. The names on those cards are the names of the sport itself: Levan Saginashvili of Georgia, Canada's Devon Larratt, John Brzenk of the United States, and Italy's Ermes Gasparini, who won the very first event. The 1xBet line has already priced bouts such as Vitaly Laletin against Alizhan Muratov and Tobias Sporrong against Alex Kurdecha.

💪 One bout, one line: how a card reads

A Arm Wrestling card is a list of separate contests without a standings table. Each super-match puts two pullers at one table with a referee between them, and it ends with a winner every time; a draw is impossible. A round closes when a hand is pinned to the pad, and the match closes when one side reaches the required number of rounds. Rounds are short. Some finish within a fraction of a second of the referee's signal, others turn into a long static fight with both arms locked in the centre.

For a bettor in Morocco used to football, that shifts the reading. There is no running score across the evening and no halves to manage: each bout stands alone and carries its own price. A puller can drop the opening round and still win 3:1; another can close the match in three straight rounds. The whole result fits into a single number for each side.

📊 Pre-match line and live odds

The line opens before the event begins. Every bout on the card gets its own entry in the section listing the full arm wrestling schedule, with a price on each puller. Pre-match suits anyone who has compared the two profiles and wants to lock a price before the public settles on a favourite.

Once the evening starts, the same bouts move into live arm wrestling betting. The tempo is unlike a team sport: a round can end in an instant, the next price appears at once, and the gap between two pullers usually shows in the first grip. Betting live on East vs West means watching the stream and placing a bet between rounds, never during one.

🎯 The bout winner as the base market

The core market is the winner of the super-match. It is offered on every bout and reads plainly: a name and a price. Other markets depend on the card and the event; what appears on one evening may be absent on the next, and only the bout page shows the exact set on the day. The winner market stays the steadiest way to build a slip, on its own or combined with other bouts from the same card.

The scores below come from the series' own history and show what a super-match looks like when the gap between two pullers is wide.

Bout	Event	Result	Note
Ermes Gasparini	EvW 1, Istanbul	winner	12 June 2021
John Brzenk vs Oleg Petrenko	EvW 5	3:0	Brzenk aged 57
Devon Larratt vs Denis Cyplenkov	EvW 10	win	Larratt, Canada
Levan Saginashvili vs Devon Larratt	EvW 12	4:0	Saginashvili, Georgia
Ermes Gasparini vs Michael Todd	EvW 16	3:0	Gasparini, Italy

Four of those five lines are shutouts: the loser did not take a single round. When the difference in level is clear, it shows from the first round. The favourite does not win every time, though. Larratt swept Cyplenkov at EvW 10 and was swept himself by Saginashvili two events later. A puller is measured against a specific opponent, never in the abstract.

🔍 What to check before placing a bet

Which arm. A bout is fought left or right, and the same puller is a different athlete on each side. A price for a left-arm match cannot be read off a right-arm result.
Weight class. Every bout sits inside a class, from under 80 kg up to super-heavyweight. Comparing two pullers only makes sense within the same class.
Style. Top roll attacks the fingers and hand to open the wrist outward; the hook pulls the forearm in and turns into a strength contest; the press drives over the top. One style against another explains many one-sided scores.
Previous results in the series. A puller who has already fought under this banner has left a record: rounds conceded, opponents faced, arm used. That record was set under the same rules and the same round format, so it says more than a result from elsewhere.

Two fouls in a round hand it to the opponent without a pin, and a round lost that way counts like any other on a winner bet.

🇲🇦 Arm wrestling on 1xBet from Morocco

Arm wrestling has its own line among the sports in the 1xBet sportsbook line, next to the team disciplines. A bet in dirhams on one of the evening's bouts takes an account and a phone: the mobile version of 1xBet carries the same pre-match and live sections as the desktop site. Events are held in Istanbul, Tbilisi or the United States, so the Moroccan start time shifts from one edition to the next; the bout page shows the exact time of the first match rather than a fixed slot.

📅 Following the series in 2026

Each edition is a closed evening with its own card, and the next one does not follow from it. Bouts enter the line once a card is announced, and the home page of 1xBet in Morocco leads to the arm wrestling section from any other sport. Between editions, the same section keeps listing other promotions of the sport.

East vs West: questions

Where can East vs West events be watched?

The series streams each evening through its own pay-per-view service, with apps for Android, iOS, Roku and Fire available since 2023. Highlights reach YouTube fourteen days after an event.

A live bet is placed alongside the stream, in the pause between two rounds.

Is there a women's division at East vs West?

Yes. Women compete in an open class, without the weight split used on the men's side of the card. The bout still follows the same round format, so a winner bet on a women's match reads exactly like any other.
