Boxing Betting – How to Bet on Boxing and MMA Fights

The minus (-) on the electronic wagering display and wagering sheets indicates the favorite. The plus (+) indicates the underdog.

Example: Boxing Lines & Boxing Betting Odds Explained

BET #  
9:00 PM 2001 MANNY PACQUIAO +130
2002 FLOYD MAYWEATHER -150

In this example, Floyd Mayweather is favored and the player must lay $150 to win $100 or $15 to win $10. Therefore, the player would wager $100 to win $130 or $10 to win $13 on Manny Pacquiao. In the event of a draw, wagers on who will win the fight are refunded.

Boxing Betting and MMA Betting: Rounds Proposition

On some fights, players have the option of betting whether the fight will go a specified distance.

Example:

BET #    
2003 WILL GO 12 FULL ROUNDS +140
2004 WON’T GO 12 FULL ROUNDS -160

In this example, the player would wager $140 to win $100 or $14 to win $10 that the duration of the fight will be more or less than 12 rounds. In rounds propositions, it does not matter which fighter wins.

Finally, for major fights, a broad range of wagers and proposition may be offered, such as how a fighter will win (KO or decision), round propositions and odds on picking the round in which the fight will end.
