Can anyone explain to me how the betting actually works?? Bruno:This might help.
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.

Yep Bruno nailed it for ya. Notice that Heath Herring is a 2-1 underdog and has WAAAAAAAY more experience in the cage. He SHOULD win. That may be a good bet right there. Bruno: I put $250 on Herring. He is going to send Brock to 0-2 in the UFC.

Here’s my theory:
Huerta – win via submission in 2nd round
Lesner – win via TKO in 1st round
St. Pierre – win via submission in 2nd round

and lastly……
………….
…………..
Anderson Silva – win via TKO on all of them within the 2nd round! :D

Double your money like I will by betting on Rashad Evans. He is undefeated in the cage, striking skills are highly underestimated, and Lidell is fading into marketing and advertising limbo while Dana White is doing all he can to resurrect his cash cow. Lidell is obviously a good fighter but not as good as the UFC hypes him and with a 1-2 record his past three fights why isn’t Machida getting a shot?…marketing schemes and PPV dollars.

Thanks for the info on the betting…I have always wondered how that worked.

Out of all the fights listed above the only one I think will win for sure is GSP.

I’d like to think the at Huerta would win but all I keep hearing is how good Kenny is. I just can’t seem to get out of my head how Kenny looks. He just doesn’t look like a guy who would even fight…Kind of like the kid next door look. But apparently he is an animal.

* Champ Georges St. Pierre (170)
* Heath Herring (250)
* Roger Huerta (155)
* Jason MacDonald (185)
* Manny Gamburyan (155)
* Luke Cummo (167)
* Cheick Kongo (235)
* Andre Gusmao (205)
* Chris Wilson (170)
* Ryan Thomas (170)
I’m calling a 8-10 solid… not sure if the lesnar fight is fixed. Herring has been fighting forever and a nice payday could be in his future. GSP… what can yeah say, dont get knocked out and hes got it.

Going to be a great show. Dana Still ass, hes in all the pics.

this may be changing the subject a bit…

does anyone know if the ufc tests their fighters for performance enhancing substances?

that lesnar guy for example…
120 kg of muscles on 1.9 m…..
