With every event they hold betting on the UFC gets more popular. Once the ultimate fringe sport, MMA is now totally mainstream, and the public has embraced it as spectators and bettors. If you aren’t familiar with betting on the UFC then there are a few things you have to get used to when it comes to differences between different types of fights. Most significantly, there are some big differences bettors need to consider between the main events that headline the cards, and the undercard events that come before it. Here are four differences and ...
Mixed Martial arts continue to get more and more popular. More promotions start up every week, the UFC draws big live attendance and growing pay-per-view numbers, and the stars of the sport are making their way into popular culture. This is no fad. As MMA, and the UFC in particular, gets more popular it only makes sense that betting on MMA gets more popular as well. MMA is actually a pretty good sport to bet on, but only if you have a clue about what you are doing (like every sport). If you are thinking about betting on MMA then here are eight ...
The majority of UFC cards take place in the United States. In their attempt to conquer the entire world, though, the organization has taken their events around the world. They have held events in Canada, Brazil, Australia and across Europe, and they are soon heading to Japan. Typically, when the organization heads into those countries - especially for the first few times - they like to stack the card with as many cheering interests for the home town crowds as they possibly can. When they first headed to Brazil, for example, there was a Brazilia ...
As betting on mixed martial arts becomes more and more popular there are more people out there who are getting serious about betting on it successfully. That means that betting on the sport - which is still very new compared to betting on other sports - is getting more sophisticated all the time. As people get to understand the sport better one of the distinctions they quickly make is the difference between betting on the main event on a card and betting on the rest of the fights - the undercard. Here are three ways in which the two types of fi ...
The single biggest factor in handicapping mixed martial arts is the styles of the fighters and how those styles work against each other. A stronger, faster, more athletic fighter can and often does lose a fight if they can’t handle the style of their opponent. Fighters are typically capable of adapting to and dealing with some types of fighters, but will struggle against other styles. Simply put, if you aren’t spending a lot of time looking at the styles of fighters when handicapping a fight then you are essentially guessing. Guessing really sh ...
With each new event they hold - especially the ones with big name fighters in championship fights - the betting popularity of MMA grows. The UFC is the clear and obvious king of the sport, but other organizations offer great opportunities as well. Betting on mixed martial arts can be very intimidating for people who don’t know that much about the sport, but it is relatively easy to become comfortable with how the sport works and how to bet on it with reasonable success. In fact, the barrier to entry for bettors is probably lower in MMA than mos ...
MMA is a brutal sport, and training for it is incredibly tough ad demanding. It’s not a wonder, then, that injuries are an unfortunate but frequent part of the lead up to any fight card in the UFC. When injuries happen after the fight card is set organizers are frequently required to bring someone in to replace the hurt fighter on short notice because the fight as already been placed on the card. These last minute fill-is - guys who step up in the last week or two before a fight - are challenging for handicappers to deal with, but they have too ...
There are a lot of sports in which betting parlays doesn’t make a lot of sense for smart bettors. In fact, in most cases betting parlays isn’t a great idea. Mixed martial arts betting is one place that can potentially be an exception, though. In fact, often times betting fighters in a parlay is the best way to balance risk and return and maximize your betting impact. ...
As the UFC grows they are adding more and more cards every year. In 2012 they scheduled well over 30 cards. They have to have that many fights because their aggressive expansion and the swallowing of all the other organizations out there has left them with a whole lot of fighters that want to see action, and a whole lot of markets that need to be served. There are the pay per view events that has always been at the heart of the organization, but those have been joined by events on network TV and cable. Undercards are on Facebook and on several ...
When you are betting on the UFC there are two very distinct types of cards to choose from - the pay-per-view events and those that are available on broadcast television. The PPV events are at the core of the business model for the UFC, and are where most of the high profile fights are, but Dana White and company are getting far more aggressive recently in their pursuit of broadcast outlets - including a contract with an American network. For bettors there are some distinct differences between betting on PPV cards and betting on others. Here’s a ...
When people talk about handicapping UFC events one of the factors that comes up often is the location of the fight and the advantage that can give to fighters from that country. The UFC likes to schedule home country fighters in events in their own countries to boost the box office appeal of the event - Australians in Australia, Canadians in Canada, and so on. Does that really give those fighters an edge, and is it worth betting on them as a result? Here’s a look at four factors to consider: ...
Betting on mixed martial arts, and the UFC in particular, should be very attractive to people who are drawn to betting on underdogs. Because the sport uses moneyline betting it is far from uncommon to see underdogs going off at very high potential returns, and upsets are a big part of the sport. Of course, you can’t just blindly bet on all underdogs and hope to make a profit - it can’t be that easy. There are some situations in which you are far more likely to find a potentially profitable underdog than others. Here are five such situations to ...
In the UFC you could loosely break fighters into three different groups based on their weight classes. There are the big men - the heavyweights and some light heavyweights - though not as many now as there used to be as the light heavyweights have become more technical and less about brute force. There are the little guys - the Bantamweights, featherweights, and lightweights. Then there are the guys in the middle - the welterweights and middleweights. If we ignore the middle group for a minute then there is a striking difference between the lig ...
