MMA betting is an excellent way to enjoy the sport of mixed martial arts, without having to travel to the stadium. Fortunately, many online UFC betting sites allow you to bet on any of the matches at your convenience. Just make sure that you check the odds before placing your bets. There are many factors that play a role in the odds, such as fighters’ history, current form and past results. You should also consider a fighter’s physical traits, like reach and height.
There are a few types of MMA betting, including Money Line bets, Over/Under bets and Method of Victory props. While these wagers are riskier than standard point spreads, they can yield greater profits when placed correctly. The most common MMA bet is the Money Line, where you place a bet on either a favorite or underdog to win a fight. The plus sign indicates the underdog, for example Ferguson here at +230, while a negative (-) sign means that a $100 wager will net you a profit of $230.
One thing that many bettors overlook is a fighter’s past record when handicapping a match. This is because there are a lot of crossover opponents inside a weight class, meaning that if FIGHTER A beats FIGHTER B then FIGHTER C should be able to do the same. This type of reasoning can mislead bettors and take away from studying fight film and evaluating a fighter’s style.
