How Odds Work
Unlike a spread on an NFL game where one team is ahead by a certain number of points (ex. Saints +7), in MMA fights, the line on the game is called a moneyline. These are the +/- used on UFC broadcasts. The figure is how much money you have to bet in order to win $100 (-), and how much a $100 bet will earn (+).
The moneyline is perhaps best explained via example:
BELAL MUHAMMAD +220
LEON EDWARDS -260
In this fight, Edwards is the -260 favorite, meaning if you bet $260 on him and he wins, you would profit $100. If he were to lose though, you would lose the full $260.
If you were to bet on Belal at +220, if you bet $100 on him and he wins the fight, you will profit $220. If he were to lose the fight, you would lose your original $100 bet.
Depending on how people are betting on the fights, the odds can shift from the moment they open, right up until the night of the fights.
Some say never bet until the weigh-ins, which will stream live on The UG at Noon ET on Friday.
The sport is built on moments that make you involuntary think “HOLY F***ING S***!!!” Those can come unpredictably at any time, on any portion of the card, from any fighter. Thus, some bettors look to the underdogs, sometimes big ones, as the best bets.
As always, UG, you see any ‘dogs’ you like?
