“Learning how to read boxing odds is half of the battle. The other half is sitting back and watching the struggle to see whether you’re in line to win your wager.
Boxing Odds Explained
This page reveals odds for moneyline bets. These are bets in which you select the fighter you believe will win the battle.
Boxing chances generally look something like this:
Apollo Creed -200
Rocky Balboa +180
This means that Creed is the preferred and Balboa is the underdog. Favorites have a minus sign (-) before their chances and underdogs have the plus sign (+). In this case if you had $300 to play with, you can throw it all on Creed and when he wins, then you’d get a payout of $450 — your $300 is returned, and your winnings of $150.
On the flip side, if you had faith in Rocky and think he’s likely to win, a $300 bet would net you a payout of $840 — you would get your initial $300 back, along with your winnings of $540.
Our Odds Calculator can help you determine how much you would win based on what you choose to wager.
Our boxing chances page shows you the opening line, that’s the first betting line set by oddsmakers, followed closely by the lines at popular sportsbooks. You can scroll through to find a sportsbook that has the odds you like best. Having boxing odds explained in much more detail gives you an advantage over other bettors who could be taking betting lines blindly.”
