Betting on MMA fights is very simple, unlike betting on NFL football with MMA betting there is no point spread involved. When you’re betting on MMA you are simply betting what is called the money line.
Below is an example of how to bet on an MMA fight using the money line;
Let’s say you wanted to bet on UFC 156?
Two of the available MMA fighters to bet on would be:
Cain Velasquez +160
Junior Dos Santos -200
In the particular fight above Junior Dos Santos is the favorite.
( favorite = the fighter who is most likely to win)
In the particular fight above Cain Velasquez is the underdog.
( underdog= the fighter who is most likely to lose)
If you bet on Junior Dos Santos at -200, you would need to risk $200 to win $100!
If you bet on Cain Velasquez at +160, for betting $100 you would win $160!
So betting on MMA is very simple, the matches consist of 3 five minute rounds. Unless you’re betting on an MMA title fight those are actually scheduled to go 5 five minute rounds.
It is amazing to think back just 15 years ago MMA was banned in 50 states within the United States. At that time MMA was considered too violent and referred to as a “blood sport” as well as “human cock fighting” and now it seems you can’t change channels on your television without seeing an MMA fight or a promo for an upcoming MMA event.
