UFC Betting
July 22, 2008
UFC betting is a great way to add to the enjoyment of watching mixed martial arts (MMA) which has become the fastest growing sport in America. It is challenging to consistently pick winners, largely because it can take just one single shot for an underdog to make a major upset of a favorite. In order to have the best chance to come out on top you will have to do some analysis and homework as to the different fighting styles brought to the Octagon by each fighter. There are boxers, strikers, wrestlers, and grapplers. You have to watch out for the one punch ending from the strikers and boxers while the grapplers can easily put the hurt on an opponent with a quick submission move.
Analyzing the fighters you plan to do your UFC betting on takes a review of both their stand-up and ground skills. It’s important to see how these skills matchup between fighters, since a guy doesn’t have to be great on the ground if his opponent isn’t good at taking competitors down. We also recommend you take a hard look at past performances and possible injuries in those. Not only injuries, but if a guy has been knocked out it’s interesting to see how he’ll respond, some guys are never the same again.
The major form of UFC betting is done using money lines. This means that a favorite will have a minus sign in front of the number by his name and an underdog will have a plus sign. For the underdogs you bet $100 to win that amount and for the favorite you wager that number in order to pick up $100 at the pay window.
Some of the sportsbooks that we recommend for betting on the UFC are Bodog, BetUS, Sportsbook.com, and Bookmaker. All four of these places will offer unique money lines so you can get absolutely the best line possible. Plus all four of these sportsbooks come highly recommended because of their fast payouts, easy deposit methods, and great customer service staffs.
