The most basic betting element of any UFC match comes down to the odds for either fighter to win the contest. This will be a straight moneyline, as no handicapping “point spread” is needed here. You simply pick a winner, risk whatever amount of money you wish, and if your guy (or gal) wins, you’re paid at the.
There are 3 different kinds of betting odds; Fractional, Decimal and American. American odds are often called Moneyline odds.

HOW DO DECIMAL BETTING ODDS WORK?
Decimal odds are the easiest type of odds to understand.
To calculate your winnings using decimal odds, simply multiply your [tooltip text=”stake” gravity=”n”]Your “Stake” is the amount of money you wish to bet[/tooltip] by the decimal number. For example…
If you placed a $10 bet at odds of 2.00, you would simply multiply 10 by 2.00 to calculate your return.
10 x 2.00 = 20.00 = $20 return from your $10 bet
How about placing a $15 bet at odds of 1.57?
15 x 1.57 = 23.55 = $23.55 return from your $15 bet
That was easy wasn’t it?

HOW DO AMERICAN [MONEYLINE] ODDS WORK?
American odds are calculated based on how much money you have to bet in order to win $100. The odds are always accompanied by either a plus [+] or minus [-] symbol. The symbols determine whether you need to bet more than $100 (-) or less than $100 (+), to win $100.
This may sound confusing at first, but it’s really not that difficult!
Lets jump right into an example of how American odds work. Remember that American odds are all about how much money you have to bet, in order to win $100.
Imagine the odds looked like this for a particular fight…
Fighter A = -150
Fighter B = +200
When working with American odds, you need to remember that the minus [-] symbol always means that you will have to bet more than $100 to win $100. Minus [-] odds are considered the “favourite”. Odds with the plus [+] symbol are considered the “underdogs”.
If you take a look at the odds above, you can see that Fighter A is the favourite at -150. This means that in order to win $100, you would have to bet $150.
Fighter B on the other hands is a +200 underdog. This means that you would only have to bet $50 to win $100. Here are a couple more examples using more challenging odds…
Fighter A = -600
Fighter B = +1000
In this example Fighter A has odds of -600, which means that you would have to bet $500 to win $100. Fighter B on the other hand has odds of +1000, which means you’d only have to bet $10 to win $100.
Working with American odds will take some getting used to and it can be difficult to work out the exact amount of money you will win from your bets at first.
You can practice working with American betting odds by visiting Best Fight Odds and using an Odds Converter to calculate your returns.

HOW DO FRACTIONAL BETTING ODDS WORK?
Fractional betting odds are favoured in the United Kingdom and Ireland and they’e the most popular type of odds used in Horse Racing. Although they may look confusing at first, they’re actually not that hard to work out. Lets jump right into looking at an example of how Fractional odds work…
If you wanted to bet $50 at odds of 6/4 six to four, this is how you would work it out:
First you have to add the numbers of the fraction together, in this case it would be 6 + 4 = 10. Then divide this number by the second number, in this case 4. 10 divide by 4 = 2.5. Then multiply this number by your stake. 2.5 x 50 = 125. Your return for a $50 bet at odds of 6/4 would be $125.
(6+4 = 10) 10 divided by 4 = 2.5
2.5 x 50(stake)= £125

How Odds Work
Las Vegas Ufc Odds
Unlike a spread on an NFL game where one team is ahead by a certain number of points (ex. Saints +7), in MMA fights, the line on the game is called a moneyline. These are the +/- used on UFC broadcasts. The figure is how much money you have to bet in order to win $100 (-), and how much a $100 bet will earn (+). They are perhaps best explained via example:
FRANKIE EDGAR +300
CORY SANDHAGEN -365
In this fight, Sandhagen is the -365 favorite, meaning if you bet $365 on him and he wins, you would profit $100. If he were to lose though, you would lose the full $365.
If you were to bet on Frankie at +300, if you bet $100 on him and he wins the fight, you will profit $300. If he were to lose the fight, you would lose your original $100 bet.
Depending on how people are betting on the fights, the odds can shift from the moment they open, right up until the night of the fights.

Some say never bet until the weigh-ins, which streamed live on The UG at Noon ET on Friday.
The sport is built on moments that make you involuntary think “HOLY F***ING S***!!!” Those can come at any time, on any portion of the card, from any fighter. Thus, some bettors look to the underdogs, sometimes big ones, as the best bets. UG, you see any ‘dogs’ you like?
