But where should you place your bets? There are many online sportsbooks you can use to place your bets and keep track of the latest news regarding upcoming matches. Some even offer live coverage of the fights and give betting tips to help you choose who to back. In-person and online betting is available in more states than ever before, but it’s still not permitted everywhere. Thankfully, many online platforms are allowing anonymous betting on UFC Fight Night 232. This means that you can deposit money on these platforms and place bets with no indication of the transaction on your bank statement. They also don’t require identification verification, as they generally only allow bets to be placed using cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum and Bitcoin. This is ideal for placing bets on your favorite fighter without your identity being known while using any currency of your choice.
For those new to UFC betting, you’ll need to understand the odds shown whether you’re choosing an anonymous sportsbook or visiting a retail betting shop. The moneyline bet is based on who you think will win the fight. In this pairing, there is a favorite (-) and an underdog (+).
This refers to how much money you would make if you placed a $100 stake on a fighter. In this instance, the odds for favorites show how much you need to stake to win $100. For the underdog of the fight, the odds show how much you would win for every $100 you staked.
On the plus side, whether you bet on the favorite or the underdog, if you win, you will get back the money you staked plus the amount you have won. So, a $100 bet on Paul Craig would pay out $335 if he won the fight at the above odds (your $100 stake plus $235 in winnings).
More experienced bettors, or those with better knowledge of the fighters, can also bet on which round the fight will be won in and by which fighter. This is referred to as round betting, and can make the fight even more exciting to watch.
There is also over and under betting available. This is when the UFC betting site will place a line on how long the fight will last, and the bet you place is to determine how much longer or shorter the fight will be. In UFC, one round equals five minutes, so there may be lines set at half a round, for example, 2.5 minutes.
There is also another way that allows you to bet and have your chances increased. These are props or proposition bets, which involve placing money on the following.
• The fight to go the distance
• Points spread
• Players touching their gloves
• How the fight will end
Not all betting sites will have every market, so if you’re looking for these bets, you might have to choose a sportsbook that specializes in UFC betting. With these bets, it doesn’t always matter which fighter wins in the end, as long as your chosen event occurs.
You can also bet on a specific outcome of a fight, such as a technical decision, submission, KO/TKO, or a draw. These types of bets follow the same rules as the moneyline or round bet.
Some bets you can even make for the future. This means placing bets on events that will happen weeks or months from when you make the bet, such as who will be the winner in certain weight category titles or who will be the UFC champion at the end of the year.
