How Fight Odds Work

Unlike a spread on a football game where one team is getting a certain amount of points (ex. Saints +7), in MMA fights the line on the game is what’s called a money line.

Frank Mir +375

Junior Dos Santos -550

In this fight, JDS would be the favorite and at -550 it means for every $5.50 you bet, you will win $1 if he wins the fight. So if you bet $550 on JDS and he wins, you’d profit $100. If JDS were to lose though, you’d lose the full $550.

If you were to bet on Mir at +375, you would win $3.75 for every $1 you bet. So if you bet $100 on Mir and he wins the fight, you will profit $375. If Mir were to lose the fight, you’d lose your original $100 bet.

Depending on how people are betting on the fights, the odds will shift from the moment they open up right up until the night of the fight.
