The fan base for UFC is growing practically exponentially. This is one of the most popular new sports around. Not only are the tournaments popular, but UFC event betting is also on the rise.
To bet intelligently on UFC fights, you need some basic knowledge of how the betting is managed. Here are a few of the ways you can bet on UFC.
There are two basic types of betting on UFC fights. The first is something called a prop bet, and the second is money line betting. Of the two, money line betting is simpler because you just bet on who you think the winner will be.
Prop bets, by contrast, involve any type of bet that doesn’t involve predicting the winner. There are plenty of things you can bet on that aren’t about who wins. Need further details? Here you go.
UFC Prop Betting: This is the most varied way to bet at UFC. Most prop bets in UFC are only for main card fights. Main card fights are the main event fights, with the most popular and well known fighters.
UFC prop bets can be something simple as the number of rounds the fight lasts. It can also be how long it lasts time-wise. Because there are so many different variables you can bet on, there’s an element of uncertainty and chance.
Money Line Betting: The type of betting that most people are most familiar with is money line betting. This is the typical bet where you choose who you think will win the fight. It doesn’t matter how the fight is won, or what round it goes to, or anything of that sort. A money line bet is a very simple bet solely on the fighter who wins. If your fighter wins you get money and if he doesn’t you lose money.
Money line betting odds vary depending on who is fighting. Favorites pay out less money. What that means is, the stronger fighters who are more likely to win have less of a payout. Underdogs who are unlikely to win pay out a nice profit margin, but there’s a bigger chance you are going to lose.
