Example: Boxing Lines & Boxing Betting Odds Explained
In this example, Floyd Mayweather is favored and the player must lay $150 to win $100 or $15 to win $10. Therefore, the player would wager $100 to win $130 or $10 to win $13 on Manny Pacquiao. In the event of a draw, wagers on who will win the fight are refunded.
| GAME TIME | BET # | FIGHTER | MONEY LINE |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9:00 PM | 2001 | MANNY PACQUIAO | +130 |
| 2002 | FLOYD MAYWEATHER | -150 |
Boxing Betting and MMA Betting: Rounds Propositions
On some fights, players have the option of betting whether the fight will go a specified distance.
| BET # | BET | MONEY LINE |
|---|---|---|
| 2003 | WILL GO 12 FULL ROUNDS | +140 |
| 2004 | WON'T GO 12 FULL ROUNDS | -160 |
In this example, the player would wager $140 to win $100 or $14 to win $10 that the duration of the fight will be more or less than 12 rounds. In rounds propositions, it does not matter which fighter wins.
Finally, for major fights, a broad range of wagers and proposition may be offered, such as how a fighter will win (KO or decision), round propositions and odds on picking the round in which the fight will end.
