MMA Expert Advice, Projections and Odds
Betting on MMA is by far the hottest sport to bet on. The opportunity to win big money is real if you can find the right fight to bet on. The problem is the people who are betting on these fights don’t know a lot about the sport and are wasting easy ways to earn some extra cash. Here is our Mixed Martial Arts Guide to help you WIN BIG on all MMA events such as UFC, WEC, HD NET and more.
Breaking Down The Mixed Martial Arts Betting Odds
MMA odds are just like any other odds to any other sporting events. There are things that you will usually see when looking at odds for a MMA fight.
UFC 96 Rampage Jackson vs Keith Jardine

Money Line Submission: Knockout Over Under Decision
Jackson -400 Jackson +200 Jackson -100 Over 1.5 +200 Jackson +200
Jardine +250 Jardine +500 Jardine +600 Under 1.5 -105 Jardine +850

MMA ODDS AND MATCHUPS
Money Lines- The Money line odds are there to see who is favored and who the underdog is. Here is an example of a fight at UFC 96. Rampage Jackson is favored -400. This means that you will have to bet $400 to win $100. For every $400 you lay out you will win a $100 on a victory. Let’s say you want to risk $1200 and you win you will receive $300 profit. We will now look at the underdog side. Keith Jardine’s odds are at +250. This means for every $100 you bet you will receive back $250 on a victory. You bet $200 you will win $500 profit. Betting on the money line means that the fighter just has to win it does not matter in what fashion he does it in.
Money lines are not the only thing that you can bet on. You can bet on props as well. Things like Submission Odds Knockout Odds and Over Under Rounds and Decision of the fight.
Rampage Jardine Over Under 1.5 Rounds. Here are the odds above of the over under distance of the fight. The same betting rule applies from above. You are simply betting if the fight will go into the second round. You take the over and goes into the second round then you are a winner.
Submission Odds and Knockout Odds work the same way but there lies a major confusion with this. There are many instances in fights where the referee may stop the fight. When he does so, it can be for one of two reasons. The fighter has either been submitted or the fighter is taking too much punishment and will have to step in and stop it which is also known as a TKO Technical Knock Out, the same as a Knockout.
There are factors should a fight go to a decision. In this case it is a non title fight so it will be after three rounds. The judges will then score the fighter and the winner will be named. If you bet $100 on Jardine to win by decision and he does so you will win $850 for every $100 you bet.
Here are some tips that you want to look at when deciding on who to bet on.
1. There is no such thing as a sure thing. Listen, this is a fight and no matter how big of a favorite a fighter is it is a fight and anything can happen. Think back to when George St Pierre got knocked out by Matt Serra. This is why MMA is so great upsets happen all the time!
2. Look for winning streaks. The best thing for a fighter is confidence if he has a nice win streak going then his confidence is going to be at a all time high.
3. Look where the fight is taking place. George St Pierre got to fight in his hometown of Canada last spring. The entire arena was filled with his fan base. It makes it a lot easier and gives you a lot more confidence when you have thousands of fans screaming your name.
4. Look at past fights. Did the two fighters fight before? Just because they haven’t matched up in the UFC does not mean they have not gone toe to toe in another organization. Remember many of these UFC fighters have fought in the Pride for years before coming to the UFC. See if the two have matched up before and see what the results were.
5. Injury- Do your research many times these fighters obtain injuries due to their tough training regiment. If a fighter has been battling injuries you might want to go the other way.
6. Know the odds. Many times when the lines first come out the lines will change drastically. Make sure you get the best price on your pick Check the lines often and see if your fighter is getting better odds.

UFC: Lesnar vs. Carwin Betting Preview

Friday, July 30th, 2010

Betting on the UFC is getting bigger with every event. With UFC 116 this coming weekend, there is no reason to think that the betting action will be at an all time high. After almost a year away from the octagon, UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar makes his long awaited return this Saturday evening. Possibly the biggest fight in the history of mixed martial arts (MMA), online sports books are expecting record setting MMA betting action. His opponent is the heavy hitting and interim champ Shane Carwin.

This fight was supposed to happen last autumn; however, Lesnar was forced to pull out due to a near fatal intestinal illness. Now supposedly back 100%, Lesnar is ready to step back into the octagon with the knockout specialist, Carwin.

Due to Lesnar’s long layoff, Carwin won the interim heavyweight title by knocking out former champ Frank Mir in the first round this past March. Now it’s time to unify the belts and to see who is the best heavyweight in the UFC. According to the online sportsbooks, it appears as that title belongs to Lesnar as he is the -150 favorite. However, the early bettors disagreed betting backing the underdog Carwin. You can currently bet on Carwin at +120.

If you have seen Carwin fight, you can’t argue with why the early bettors hopped on his generous betting odds. All Carwin has done as a professional fighter is accumulate a flawless 12-0 record. Even more impressive is the fact that all 12 of his victories ended in the first round. Since entering the UFC four fights ago, he KO’d or TKO’d each of his opponents by devastating fashion.

The one time World Wrestling Entertainment superstar, Lesnar is still very raw. He has been defeating guys on sheer size, strength and athleticism. However, he was an All-American amateur wrestler in college, winning the NCAA heavyweight championship in 2000 so he does have the skills to dominate if the fight hits the ground. A physically imposing force, Lesnar has just four fights under his UFC belt posting a 3-1 record. In the octagon, he just uses his brute force to overpower his opponent which often leads to some devastating ground and pound.

Weighing in at 265 pounds and a physique straight out of the NFL, Carwin is probably the only heavyweight in the UFC that has a chance against Lesnar from a physical standpoint. Carwin also comes from an accomplished amateur wrestling background winning the NCAA Division II National Championship in 1999.

When handicapping these odds, one must consider a few questions:

1. If the fight goes past the first round, how will Carwin look?

Again, Carwin has yet to have to answer the second round bell due to ending each of his 12 fights in the first round. If he can’t finish Lesnar early, how will be fair?

2. What kind of chin does Lesnar have?

With the biggest fists in the UFC, it is no secret Carwin will be looking for an early KO. Brock hasn’t faced anyone with the punching power Carwin possesses and quite frankly, hasn’t been hit hard as of yet. How will Lesnar react if Carwin lands one square on the jaw?

3. Will Lesnar’s layoff affect his performance?

Lesnar last fought on July 11, 2009. Will he have ‘ring rust’ and did his near fatal illness take a serious toll on his body? No matter how hard they train, UFC fighters often struggle coming back from long layoffs.

For those betting on this fight, don’t be surprised if the odds creep up a bit. It is doubtful they will go any lower. Oddsauthority is expecting the late money to come in from the novice UFC bettors on the bigger name Lesnar, thus increasing Carwin’s betting value as the fight approaches.

Pick: Lesnar (-150)

Despite Carwin’s size and punching prowess, Lesnar is just too big. Expect Lesnar to overpower Carwin against the cage eventually taking the fight to the ground. Once on the ground, Lesnar will use his superior wrestling skills and win by ground and pound TKO.

Ufc Fighting for the Next Best Option in Sports Betting

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010

Unless you have lived on a remote island for the last few years or so you may not have noticed the most exciting sport to hit the circuit in a long time. Professional Boxing has killed fans long enough with the slow boring style along with the scams and fight fixing that has altered the sport. Now fight fans have an alternative and it is exciting, fast and modern leaving boxing knocked out so to speak.

 

So what is it? It is mixed martial arts more popularly known as Ultimate Fighting Championship aka UFC. At first this controversial style of fighting was shunned in many states and banned outright banned in others. The thought of two fighters beating each other bare-fisted was considered too barbaric. In fact UFC has since grown in leaps and bounds and has caught on like wildfire with the 35 and under group. It was officially labeled a sport and featured by Sports illustrated as the next best thing when it comes to sports. It has buried boxing in pay per view sales and legends of the octagon such as Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell have become household names.

 

With the surge in popularity it was only a matter of time before fight fans would be clamoring to bet on their favorite fighters. However you might be pressed to find an offshore sportsbook that has a solid reputation offering odds on upcoming matches. There are some that offer events and fights, but only two sports books that have knocked out the others when placing lines on the UFC.

 

Bookmaker is the house of the Sports Betting action!  Bookmaker is quick to release lines and will cover all of the fights listed on the fight card. They not only cover pay-per-view fights like UFC 76 and but alsoUFC fight nights and they even cover the lesser known fights like bare knuckle mixed martial arts, rio’s heroes and more. Proving again why they are one of the best.

 

Another great option when it comes to UFC betting sports bettors will love betED. They offer sports betting odds on all MMA events on the UFC, Pride FC and much more. betED Sportsbook, Casino & Poker, offering players an exciting and unrivalled wagering experience.

 

It is great to see online sportsbooks keeping up with the changing of the world of sports and modernizing with the rest of the world. When it comes to being able to bet on UFC events and mixed martial arts these two books don’t give the other sportsbooks a fighter’s chance!
