You can find at online sportbooks lines on all major televised boxing fights, as well as all regularly scheduled boozing fights. All boxing gambling lines are usually posted on the day of the event. You can gamble on a boxer to win by knockout or by decision, as well as the draw and the total rounds that the fight will last. When betting on the money line, you are gambling that the fighter will win straight up in order to win your bet. For example, Betting on Evander Holyfield when the odd is -550 means you gamble $550 to win $100. It does not matter when or how Holyfield wins, just that he is the official winner. If you bet on Mike Tyson when the odd is +520, you stake $100 to win $520. Again, in this case, it does not matter when or how Tyson wins, just that he is the official winner.
Betting on the Draw is when you are gambling on the outcome of a fight to be a draw. The fight must go to the fight cards and the judges must declare a Draw for you to win your bet. For that matter, disqualifications will not be considered as winners in regards to Draw gambles.
Total Round bets is when a total listed on a fight represents the total number of completed rounds. The halfway point of a round is at exactly one minute and thirty seconds. Therefore, 4½ rounds would be one minute and thirty seconds of the 5th round. When gambling on the total rounds a fight will last, you must take the over or the under gamble. Regardless of who will be declared the winner, the round in which the fight ends is the final round. If we use the above example, if Holyfield is knocked out more than halfway through the 6th round, all bets on the over would be considered winning bets.
A boxing match is declared official after the bell starting the first round has rung. Each round will be three minutes long and a half-round is defined as 90 seconds. If the amount of scheduled rounds in a fight is changed some bets (like the fight winner, fighter wins only, draw options, fight totals, will go / won't go, inside distance, exact round, knock-out, and decision props) will all be No Action. A wager on a fighter to win by knock-out wins if the selected fighter wins by knock out, technical knock out or disqualified. |
