“Learning how to read boxing odds is half of the battle. The other half is sitting back and watching the fight to find out whether you’re in line to win your wager.
Boxing Odds Explained
This page shows chances for moneyline bets. These are stakes where you select the fighter you believe will win the battle.
Boxing chances appear something like this:
Apollo Creed -200
Rocky Balboa +180
This means that Creed is your 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 could throw all of it on Creed and if he wins, then you’d find a payout of $450 — your own $300 is returned, plus your winnings of $150.
On the flip side, if you had faith in Rocky and think he’s going to win, a $300 bet would net you a payout of $840 — you’d get your initial $300 back, plus your winnings of $540.
Our Odds Calculator can help you determine how much you would win based on what you decide to wager.
