Boxing Betting & Rules
For bettors, boxing is an attractive sport. The fact is the choices are fairly simple. It’s a pure one-on-one match-up, which means if you do your homework you have a decent chance of winning your bet. There’s no point spread. Most often you’re given two choices—the moneyline bet and the over/under wager.
Boxing Money Line Betting
When betting on the money line, you are betting that the fighter will win straight up in order to win your bet. Betting on E. Holyfield -550 means you must risk $550 to win $100. It does not matter when or how Holyfield wins, just that he is the official winner. Betting on M. Tyson +520, you stake $100 to win $520. Again, in this case, it does not matter when or how M. Tyson wins, just that he is the official winner.
Boxing Betting On The Draw
When betting 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 your bet to be a winner. Disqualifications will not be considered as winners in regards to Draw bets.
Boxing Betting Total Round Bets
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 second. 4½ rounds would be one minute and thirty seconds of the 5th round. When betting on the total rounds that a fight will last, you must take the OVER or the UNDER. Regardless of who is declared the winner, the round in which the fight ends is the final round. Using the above example, if E. Holyfield is knocked out more than halfway through 6 th round, all bets on the OVER would be considered winners.
A boxing match is declared official after the bell starting the first round has rung.
Each round is three minutes long: a half-round is defined as 90 seconds.
If the amount of scheduled rounds in a fight is changed, 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 "KO" wins if the selected fighter wins by KO, TKO, or DQ.
All matches must start within 7 days of originally scheduled time for wagers to have action. |
