MMA Moneyline Betting

Betting on the MMA moneyline is straightforward as you're simply picking the winner. In most cases, there will be a favorite and an underdog listed for each MMA match. Placing a bet on the favorite will offer a lower payout, while placing a bet on an underdog will offer a higher payout. The MMA moneyline is typically listed based on the bet required to win $100 if betting on the favorite vs. the potential win for a bet of $100 placed on the underdog.

MMA Futures Betting

The futures market for MMA focuses primarily on the bigger Pay Per View events, title holders, weight class champions and other important milestones. These are usually long term investments that require a little more foresight and a lot more patience. The main event favorite usually begins around +500 and ends around +300 by the time fight night arrives. A longshot would be any fighter that has +2000 odds to win an MMA title fight.
