MMA Betting

MMA or Mixed Martial Arts is an industry that has grown tremendously over the past decade and so has Betting on MMA. You are seeing more and more fights broadcasted than ever before. Even major networks have begun to pick up tons of these fights because of the growing popularity. UFC or Ultimate Fighting Championship has reined king of MMA since it all began. They host the most fights overall and have some of the biggest names in MMA. Legends like Chuck “Iceman” Liddell and Ken Shamrock both fight for UFC. Another reason MMA has become so popular is because of tons of MMA betting that has taken place for the big fights. There is more and more MMA Sportsbooks popping up all the time.

The first step you want to take is finding the perfect sportsbook for MMA Gambling. You should refer to SportsbookGurus' MMA sportsbook review to find the best ones. Overall UFC Betting is very similar to boxing betting. There are two men in the fight and one winner. Moneylines or basically picking a winner is the usual bets for MMA. The odds on the Moneylines can be very different depending on who is fighting. A heavy favorite will not have nearly as much of a payout as an underdog. This is because the heavy favorite wins majority of the time. These lines will look something like this: Chuck Liddell -350 vs. Goober Mcbaggins +290. These MMA Odds relate directly to the payout you will receive when making your pick.

If we were to Bet on MMA fights like the favorite Liddell at -350, we would have to put down $3.50 to make $1. If we thought the underdog McBaggins would win, we could bet $1 and win $2.90. This is simply the math behind the lines when Wagering on MMA. Other fights that feature to similar fighters will have closer lines.

For those fights you will see lines like Mike Smith -120 vs. John Jenkins -110. There is clearly no favorite for these fights because the fighters are so evenly matched. These matches are sometimes hard to call because of the similarities. Many other Online Sportsbooks also offer over/under for the rounds at many of the fights.

MMA Betting on Over/Under works like other over/under bets. MMA fights all have three rounds while the over/under is usually set for 1.5 rounds. So if you bet the under for 1.5 total, the fight will have to end before that halfway point in order to hit your pick. This can be a good bet if know a fighter tends to knockout more often than not.

Smart Betting on MMA fights involves the bettor to thoroughly analyze the upcoming fight. Many times a huge favorite can get upset by an underdog which would result in a big payout. A great example of this was when big name Kimbo Slice lost to Seth Petruzelli. Petruzelli came in as a huge underdog and ended up defeating Slice in the first round. The reason this fight was unique was because Slice did not have much experience with MMA, but came in with a reputation as a great street fighter. This heavily influenced the lines towards Slice. All in all, Betting MMA Fights can have some very large payouts and be very fun watching your favorite fighters duke it out in the octagon.
