Latest UFC Odds & Betting Lines

UFC Betting Odds

UFC betting odds are one of the most popular sports betting markets around today. With over 20 million fans worldwide, the Ultimate Fighting Championship has become one of the biggest sporting events in the world.

How UFC Odds Work

Odds are calculated using a point system. A win is worth two points, a draw is worth 1 point, and a loss is worth 0 points. For example, if you bet $100 on a fight and the fighter wins, then you would earn 2 x 100 200 points. Similarly, if you bet $200 against the same fighter and he loses, then you would lose 200 points.

If a fight ends in a draw, then each side earns half of their original stake. For example, if a fight is a three round match, and the fighters finish the third round tied, then each fighter receives 50% of their original wager.

UFC Moneyline Odds

Moneyline odds are similar to regular bets except instead of wagering on the outcome of the match, you bet on the winner of the match.

When placing a bet, remember that the moneyline odds are calculated before the fight begins. As such, they reflect the probability of the fight going the full distance. Once the fight starts, however, the moneyline odds change.

For example, let’s say you’ve placed a $100 bet on FIghter X to win the fight. Let’s assume Fighter X is ahead by 10 points at the start of the fourth round. At this point, the moneyline odds are 40-60.

Now, let’s say Fighter Y scores a knockout blow and knocks out Fighter X in the final seconds of the fourth round. Because Fighter X lost, you now owe the bookmaker $100.

However, since Fighter X had been leading throughout the entire fight, the moneyline odds changed from 40-60 to 60-40. Now, you’ve got a better chance of winning your bet.

UFC Total Rounds (Over/Under)

Total rounds are a bit trickier than usual. There are no official rules governing how many rounds a fight should last. Some fights may last four rounds, others eight, and some even longer.

However, most experts agree that a fight should last somewhere around ten rounds. That’s why you’ll usually see a lot of UFC matches advertised as being 10 rounds long.

But here’s the thing: Even though a fight may technically last ten rounds, it doesn’t necessarily follow that those ten rounds will all happen during the same period of time.

That’s because there are breaks between rounds. Fighters enter and exit the ring after each round. During those breaks, they head to the locker room to change out of their fighting gear and rehydrate before entering the next round.

This means that sometimes a fight may actually last less than ten rounds. Sometimes a fight may last more than ten rounds.

And that’s where things get tricky. Because there are no official rules regarding how many rounds a fight must last, you can’t really know for sure how many rounds a fight will last until the bell rings.

That’s why you need to use a combination of intuition and logic to figure out how many rounds a fight is going to last.

UFC Live Odds

Live odds are updated throughout a fight. These odds are usually displayed alongside the current betting lines.

You can use live odds to determine the best value for your money. For instance, if you think a fighter is going to win, you might want to back them at +150 instead of +200. But if you think a fighter will lose, you might want to take advantage of the lower price.

Methods Of Victory in UFC

There are many methods of victory in UFC. Some fighters prefer to go toe-to-toe with opponents, while others prefer to strike quickly and decisively.

Some fighters rely on speed and power to overwhelm opponents. Others prefer to utilize grappling techniques to control opponents. Still others prefer to mix things up by employing multiple styles.

Regardless of style, however, there are certain strategies that tend to lead to success.
