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 called a money line.
Urijah Faber +240
Renan Barao -320
In this fight, Barao would be the favorite, meaning if you bet $320 on Barao and he wins, you would profit $100. If he were to lose though, you would lose the full $320.
If you were to bet on Faber at +240, if you bet $100 on Faber and he wins the fight, you will profit $240. If Faber were to lose the fight, you would lose your original $100 bet.
Depending on how people are betting on the fights the odds will shift from the moment they open, right up until the night of the fights.
