Muhammad Ali.
Jack Dempsey. Floyd Mayweather. Rocky Balboa. One of these fighters is literary but they’re all fierce competitors that boxing bettors look for if wagering on this knockout sport. Pun alert! Or more accurately, since this is boxing and pun(ches) need to land, bad pun alert!
Fundamental Odds and Betting Options
There are lots of betting options for boxing and each takes a different strategy. Here we’ll clarify the moneyline, approach of success bets and total rounds wagers.
Moneyline
This is a frequent bet for boxing fans and only needs you to pick a winner. Everything you win will depend on the gaming lines. Wouldn’t that be an awesome band name? The betting line — the true line not the fake ring — is a method for the sportsbooks to determine who should win a struggle and the way convincingly.
Boxing moneyline odds would seem something like this:
Rocky +130
Apollo Creed -160
In this case Apollo Creed is your favorite and you would have to wager $160 to win $100. Rocky is the underdog so you’d just need to wager $100 to win $130.
The above example between Philadelphia’s favorite son and The Dancing Destroyer is thought to be a competitive matchup. But, there are times where you’ll observe boxers listed as huge favorites with lines like -10000. You would need to wager $10,000 to win $100. An illustration of a matchup with a huge favorite could be a fight between Anthony Joshua and Alexander Povetkin. When they fought in September of 2018, the odds were Joshua -1100 and Povetkin +650.
FYI – Favorites are always symbolized with minus signs (-). Underdogs are always represented with plus signs (+). This is consistent throughout every sport. If you see a favorite or underdog with another emblem like a smiley face or poop emoji, get away from that sportsbook. Just like a dog in a canoe, they have no clue what they are doing.
Method of Victory
Another frequent bet you can create on boxing is the method of victory. Rather than predicting who’ll win the fight, you’d predict the way the struggle will end.
Let’s use the exact same Rocky vs Creed example. Rather than gambling on Creed to acquire (-160), you could bet on Creed to win by knockout (+160). In case Creed does win through knockout, you would still win your moneyline wager and you’d win your method of victory bet also.
Total Rounds
If you’re searching for one more take on boxing gambling, attempt total rounds. This involves betting on the number of rounds that a fight will go. You will see a line that looks something like this:
O/U 11.5 rounds (-120/+105)
If you think the fight will finish within 11.5 rounds, you would wager the UNDER (that’s exactly what the U stands for). If you feel the fight will go beyond 11.5 rounds, you’d be the OVER (that is exactly what the O stands for). The numbers in the brackets work the same as the lines in our other examples. The preferred is -120 along with the underdog is +105.
