Boxing Betting Online
Few sports have a more enduring history than boxing. The sweet science, as it’s also known, emerged in Egypt around 3,000 BC and was one of the featured events at the Olympic Games in the 7th century BC. Those bloody bouts of yesteryear eventually gave way to more civilized competitions with the introduction of the Marquess of Queenberry Rules in 1867. The sport has since been dominated by bigger-than-life heavyweights like Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson, as well as lightning fast lightweights like Roberto Duran and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Boxing Moneyline Betting
Betting on a Boxing moneyline is pretty straightforward as you're simply picking the winner. In most cases, there will be a favorite and an underdog listed for each bout. Placing a bet on the favorite will offer a lower payout while placing a bet on an underdog will offer a premium payout. The boxing moneyline is typically listed based on the bet required to win $100 if betting on the favorite vs. the potential win for a bet of $100 placed on the underdog.
In addition to current records and which combatant is at their hometown, the starting title holders typically have a big impact on boxing moneylines. If the title holder of the fight is the underdog, that might even the odds between two fighters that might seem otherwise a bit mismatched.
Boxing Moneyline Example
Boxing Futures and Boxing Prop Betting
The futures market for boxing will feature heavily on the Pay Per View events, title holders, weight class champions and other milestones like consistency and home training camp. These are often long term investments. The main event favorite usually begins around +500 and ends around +300 by the time fight night arrives. A longshot would be any fighter that has +2000 odds to win a prized Title Fight.
Prop betting is one of the best parts about combat sport betting. You can generate action on player props and team props. This has added a certain level of extra joy to betting on mixed martial arts.
