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.
Chael Sonnen +220
Anderson Silva -300
In this fight, Silva would be the favorite and at -300 it means for every $3.00 you bet, you will win $1 if he wins the fight. So if you bet $300 on Silva and he wins, you’d profit $100. If Silva were to lose though, you’d lose the full $300.
If you were to bet on Sonnen at +220, you would win $2.20 for every $1 you bet. So if you bet $100 on Sonnen and he wins the fight, you will profit $220. If Sonnen 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.
