Types of betting in boxing
Boxing betting offers have been around for centuries, and there are a variety of different ways to do it. Here we will guide you with the best boxing bet tips.
Moneyline
These bets are the most straightforward type of bet in boxing. In the case of moneyline bets, the bettor simply picks who they think will win the fight. The odds are fractions, such as 1/2 or 3/4. To determine how much money a bettor will win on the moneyline, multiply the amount bet by the odds.
For example,
- Tyson Fury (4/1)
- Oleksandr Usyk(1/2)
If a bettor wages £100 on a 1/2 moneyline, they will realise a profit of £50 if Usyk wins. Instead, placing a bet of £100 with a 4/1 odds means that you will win £400 plus your original £100 stake.
Round betting in boxing
This is a popular wager among bettors. In the type of betting, you predict in which round the fight will end. However, this can be more challenging as many factors influence the match. The odds for this type of bet will be listed as a fraction.
For example:
- Tyson Fury to win in 5th round (4/1)
- Antony Joshua to win in 4th round (10/1).
If the bettor places £1 at 4/1, the total return will be £5 if successful. The same calculation method applies to the Joshua bet.
Number of rounds to be fought
This bet involves predicting how many rounds will be fought before the winner is declared. For example, the odds of the number of rounds in a boxing match might be;
- Over 7.5 rounds (5/1)
- Under 7.5 rounds (10/1).
If a bettor places $100 on over 7.5 rounds fought, the bet is successful and returns a total of £600 if the fight exceeds 8 rounds. Instead, the bet is lost if the wager is £100 on under 7.5 rounds, and the fight goes the full distance.
Prop bets
These are bets on events that may happen during the fight. For example, this could include whether there will be a knockout. The odds for these types of bets are yes or no.
For example, will there be a knockout:
The same calculation methods are used for this bet.
