A moneyline bet or match bet is when you select one fighter to win a fight by whatever means necessary. It doesn’t matter how the fighter wins the fight as long as they end up winning. This is the most popular bet in MMA, as everyone has a prediction as to who should win all of the big MMA.

• In mixed martial arts betting, the standard form of wagering is the moneyline. Essentially you are betting on one fighter to win and the moneyline assigns a value to the favorite and to the underdog. Like baseball betting, the favorite typically has a negative value and the underdog has a positive value. Conor McGregor -160; Eddie.
• How to Bet on UFC: Moneyline Bet The most common type of bet in UFC is called the money line bet. What players do for this bet is place a wager at their favorite online UFC betting siteupon what they.

The lines are moving for UFC 252. But they are adjusting slowly enough for bettors to still find value before Saturday’s matchup of Stipe Miocic versus Daniel Cormier for the heavyweight championship. Here is UFC 252 odds information on the main event and more.

DraftKings Sportsbook reported that “DC” had gotten 64% of the handle and 58 % of the bets by late Thursday. That was enough to make him the slight favorite, nudging the moneyline from -110 each on Monday to Cormier -115 and Miocic -104, by Friday morning. By Saturday morning, Cormier was -114 and Miocic was -106.

Betting overview

Wait until the last minute

This is the wagering equivalent of an NFL game in which the last team holding ball will probably win. In this case, last-minute betting could form the final line.

Johnny Avello, the director of race and sportsbook operations for DraftKings, expects late betting, right up until each fight starts.

“This is one of those events in which the action has been steady, but there is going to be a lot of betting even closer to the fight,” he told TheLines. “With so many sports having come back, bettors are putting their money on what is today’s top event.

“We are taking many large bets in every single sport. Last Sunday, one hour before the final round of the PGA, we took $350,000 on Dustin Johnson (roughly 3-1) and $75,000 on Collin Morikawa (the eventual winner at 9-1). We anticipate a lot of UFC betting as it gets close and on the final day of the event. The UFC has been strong and steady for us all along”

This looks to be one time when bettors can afford some patience. The line should not jump up and run away from either main event fighter. Each fighter has a knockout victory over the other, in exciting fashion. Each is vulnerable, with Cormier at 41 and Miocic at 37.

Stylin’ and profilin’

The moneyline hinges on whether gamblers believe Miocic can unveil the same style that brought him the rematch victory last year. He used an 8-inch reach advantage, stayed outside, peppered Cormier with hooks to the body and finally dropped him. “DC” had won the first fight by nailing Miocic with a short right from in close that dropped him. That set up a finishing flurry against a grounded opponent to provide the victory. Miocic did the same in the rematch.

Prop city

If you carried the -225 sentiment for the fight to end inside the distance into the prop bets board, you’ll find some big numbers at DraftKings. Cormier to repeat his Round 1 victory for the first fight is +600. Miocic to duplicate his round 4 win in the rematch is +1650. It looks like neither fighter wants the ground, and that’s why DC is +1000 for a submission and Miocic is +2000. But Cormier has turned the trick. He submitted Derrick Lewis in his first heavyweight title defense and also became the first fighter ever to successfully defend both the light-heavyweight and heavyweight championships.

Movements and matchups

Some quick hitters on UFC 252 odds ahead of Saturday night:

Vegas Odds Mma

• O’Malley dropped to -286 from -315, while Vera went from +240 to +225.
• Rozenstruik, once -150, was trimmed to -136 after money came in on dos Santos, nudging him from +120 to +108. The line reflects the parity one would expect from the number 5 (dos Santos) and Number 6 (Rozenstruik) division contenders.
• Rozenstruik was stopped in 20 seconds by Francis Ngannou in May. For dos Santos, the result was no better. He was beaten in 1:11 by the fighter considered the uncrowned champion of the division. Ngannou is ranked second.
• Rozenstruik may start slowly in this fight and dos Santos has been an early whirlwind for those eyeing distance prop bets. His last four fights have lasted less than seven rounds. The former heavyweight champion comes off a TKO loss in two rounds against Curtis Blaydes in January.
• Rozenstruik and dos Santos need a win badly. And they will have to go over each other to get it
  FanDuel offers a unique line on the fight. While Rozenstruik is -136 to win, he is only +115 for a KO/TKO. It’s unusual for a method of victory to return less than the moneyline. Message: no need to be too fine for a Rozenstruik bettor. If you like him to win, hit the moneyline.
• For dos Santos, the odds are +108 on the moneyline and +360 for a KO/TKO, more in line with the relationship between winning and method of victory.
• O’Malley is the 14th-ranked bantamweight and starting to roll. After not fighting in two years, he embarks on a third battle in five months. His last two bouts have finished inside of one round. But the bookmakers believe he will face harder opposition. The fight to go the distance is -110 and to not go is -121 at DraftKings. For bettors who go contrarian to this line, there will be a strong return in many O’Malley KO/TKO scenarios.
• Dvalishvili bettors propelled him to -240 from -200, while Dodson went to +188 from +160.
