It is difficult to say which type of boxing bet is inherently better than another, as different bets are better suited to different betting markets and circumstances. Therefore, instead of trying to identify the &8220;best&8221; boxing bet, it might be more useful to consider which bets are safer or more likely to result in a win depending on the situation. While watching boxing matches or UFC fights and talking about betting odds, you can often hear something like “Fighter X is a -300 favorite.” or “Fighter X is a +500 underdog.” It’s hard to distinguish what these numbers mean, especially as a negative (-) number is associated with the favorite, while the positive (+) number is associated with the underdog. So, I’ll explain how to understand boxing and MMA odds as simply news as possible.
