Betting Odds For UFC 82 Silva Vs Henderson

Posted By: Bruno Published in Fight Shows

There is still plenty of time left to get your bets in for the Silva Vs Henderson UFC 82 Pride of a Champion fights at the Nationwide Arena, OH.

Check back soon, these lines update often.

For those that don’t understand how the odds work read this post by Ninja.

Unlike football as basketball where there are point spreads (ex. -7, +13.5) UFC fights have odds which are called moneylines. A moneyline is basically a way for the sportsbooks to even out the betting public. So for example if Chuck Liddell was fighting a no name guy in his first fight, Liddell would be a HUGE favorite, probably around -4400 or so (44 to 1). If there was no moneyline, you could just bet on the favorite everytime, and become a millionaire pretty quickly.

So here is an actual example from a UFC fight, that will explain the odds a bit better.

Chuck Liddell (-140)

Keith Jardine (+120)

In this matchup, Chuck is the favorite at -140. This means that for every $1.40 you bet, you win $1. So if you were to bet $140 on Chuck, you’d win $100 (profit) if he is victorious. Keith is the underdog in this match at +120. This means that for every $1 you bet, you will win $1.20. So if you bet $100 on Keith, and he wins, you will win $120 (profit).

The moneylines on UFC fights will often change with the amount of money coming in on each side. If a bunch of money is coming in on one side, the sportsbook will adjust the moneyline to even out the action and get bettors betting on the other fighter. With that said, whatever the odds are when you place your bet, is the odds you get. They don’t change like in horse racing.

I hope that helps. Peace.

eventually the pride fighters will be the only ones holding belts in the ufc. pride fighters are far superior to ufc. actually come to think about it the middleweight, lightheavyweight, and heavyweight belts are all held by pride fighters. all thats left is lightweight and thats only a matter of time. I still would kill to see fedor vs cotoure who i still think is the real heavyweight champ.

PRIDE VS UFC shit is stupid! Did Pride or UFC have anything to do with the fighters training? NO! Some fighters go here and some fighters go there. Bottom line is that fighters train to fight no matter what organization there in. You fight for yourself not an organization.
