Mma betting has quickly become one of the most popular forms of wagering since the US Supreme Court lifted PASPA last year, giving MMA fans from around the globe access to place bets on their favorite fights – but many bettors remain uncertain how best to handicap these contests. This article provides an introduction to MMA betting as well as some helpful strategies for placing successful bets that result in substantial returns.
One of the primary errors made by MMA bettors is taking an individual fighter solely because they like them. Before making such a bet, it is wise to compare fighter records and understand how they have performed against one another in previous fights, along with considering their fighting styles and coaching histories.
Mistakenly, many MMA bettors try their hand at “MMA math.” This refers to comparing the records of fighters against that of their current opponent; often this can mislead bettors and distract them from studying and understanding their opponent’s fighting style and history.
Odds are another key component of MMA betting. These odds illustrate how much an MMA bettor could win per $100 bet they place, generally speaking the higher the odds are the greater is the chance a fighter wins; however, as fight day nears they may change depending on factors such as injury status, fight camp attendance or history against fighters in similar weight classes.
Mma betting offers an array of bets, such as Over/Under Rounds, Method of Victory and Prop Bets. An Over/Under Rounds bet estimates how many rounds a fight will last; this can be determined by knockout/TKO, Submission or Decision. Prop bets provide further wagers related to victory by any means possible from KO/TKO to Decision in any round or combination thereof.
MMA betting provides more than the traditional bets, however. Some sportsbooks allow bettors to place parlay bets – an accumulator which combines multiple bets into one bet to increase payoff odds – though these bets may prove profitable, it is essential that all legs of the parlay must win for it to be successful and pay out.
Some MMA matches offer Round Groups/Round Betting as an additional bet option, which allows you to place bets on which specific round will end the fight. This gives you more chances at success by placing wagers that focus on either KO/TKO, Submission or Push outcomes rather than Decision results; note that all bets placed will be returned if a Push occurs – for this reason it is recommended that before placing any MMA bets that one should familiarize oneself with its rules as well as watching some fights so as to gain better understanding of its dynamics!
