MMA Betting
If you want to bet on the MMA fights, you should know about MMA betting lines. These lines tell you who the favorite and underdog are. MMA betting lines are available on American odds websites only. A fighter who has a + or – sign next to his name is considered an underdog.
Parlay betting
Parlay betting in MMA is one of the most popular ways to bet on an event. This form of betting involves placing multiple bets on the same outcome of several different fights. Each leg of a parlay has a different odds, which means the potential payout is much higher than if you simply made one bet. However, parlays can be risky, so it’s important to choose the leg selections carefully.
MMA is also much easier to predict than other team sports, and there is generally only one or two favorites. This makes it easier to determine the odds and to bet accordingly. While there are many factors to consider when parlaying, the best way to minimize the risk and maximize the potential payout is to choose a fighter with a higher than average chance of winning.
Over/Under rounds
The Over/Under rounds in MMA betting are determined by the oddsmakers, who set the price based on an implied probability of the fight going the distance. For example, if the fight goes five rounds, and one fighter wins by knockout, the oddsmakers will set the Over/Under at 4.5 rounds. If the fight ends at the two-minute mark of round five, the wager is considered a ‘push’, meaning all bets are returned.
The over/under rounds bet is the most popular option in MMMA betting. In UFC matches, fights generally last between three and five rounds, with each round lasting around five minutes. This makes betting on over/under rounds an excellent option, as the payout odds are higher.
Grouped round betting
Grouped round betting in MMA allows you to place bets on specific rounds of a fight. This is similar to betting on individual rounds in boxing, but MMA fights last only three or five rounds. Unlike boxing, however, the winner of MMA fights is determined by the judges’ scorecard, not by the number of rounds.
Betting on the winners of individual rounds is very costly, but grouping rounds can be a more convenient option. The odds for grouping rounds are usually lower than those for individual rounds. You can also bet on a fighter to win each round, go the distance, or win the fight. This type of betting is a popular type of MMA betting.
In-play markets
In-play markets for MMA betting allow you to hedge your bets when you’re watching the fight live. You can bet on both sides of the match and offload your risk if things go wrong. In-play markets also let you compare odds from different bookies.
Unlike traditional pre-match bets, in-play MMA betting is available in real-time, and it makes MMA betting much more exciting. The odds for in-play wagers are updated as each round is finished, which means that you can make bets on both teams and the fight result.
