Understanding UFC odds and betting markets

Being able to read the odds is the first step to placing successful UFC bets. Like other betting options on DraftKings, negative odds indicate the favorite, while positive odds indicate the underdog. DraftKings also offers its customers a variety of markets when it comes to betting on MMA fights. Some of the top markets include:

Moneyline

This type of bet involves picking who will win the fight, irrespective of how the match ends. It is one of the more popular bets on UFC fights.

Over/Under rounds

Over or under rounds means betting on how long the fight will last.  An MMA bout typically has three rounds, except for world championship fights, which always have five rounds. So if a fight rounds bet is set at 2.5, the over bet wins if the fight gets halfway through the third round, and the under bet wins if it doesn't.

Winning method

Betting on winning methods means wagering on how the match will end. This includes winning by knockout, submission, decision, and others. Choosing a win-by-finish bet requires the match-up to end by disqualification, knockout, or submission only.

Fight props

Fight prop bets are more specific options for fights with higher odds and more winnings. These include betting on a time range when the match will end, the exact round the match will be decided, whether the match will go the distance, and more.

When betting on MMA with DraftKings, you are spoilt for choice with a wide range of betting options and the most competitive UFC odds. For beginners, DraftKings also has a useful guide on betting on MMA, which can help you get started on the right foot. Plus, there are amazing bonuses and promotions that you can use to boost your experience and enjoy premium betting on anything UFC.
