Where to bet on the UFC 

Choosing an online sportsbook for betting on UFC fights can be a tough task if you don't know where to look. Luckily for you, I've done all the work and I found the best online sportsbooks for UFC betting.

As an online gambling writer, I am constantly testing new sportbooks and sites to review and critique and over the past two years, I have deposited money and bet with 47 different online sportsbooks. After reviewing all of these sites, I went back and reviewed them again for their UFC betting lines. I found Bodog sportsbook is the best out there for betting on UFC fights.

Bodog - #1 online sportsbook

Bodog is one of the most trusted and secure online sportsbooks out there(US bettors welcome). They have the best odds for UFC fights out of every online sportsbook.

For my money, Bodog is the best sportsbook out there for UFC betting. I highly recommend checking them out. Go to Bodog now!

How do I bet on UFC fights? 

ufc betting image

Unlike sports such as basketball and football that have pointspreads, UFC betting is based on moneylines. If you are familiar with betting on boxing or baseball, then you already know how to bet moneylines.

UFC betting example

Chuck Liddell -210
Quinton Jackson +165

This is how the lines will look when you bet on a UFC fight. In this fight Liddell is the favorite and Jackson is the underdog. If you were to bet on Liddell, you would have to bet $2.10 for every dollar you'd like to win. So if you bet $210 and Liddell wins the fight, you would win $100 in profit. If Liddell loses, you would lose $210.

If you are betting on Jackson, the underdog in this bout, then for every $1.00 you bet, you will win $1.65 if Jackson wins. So if you bet $100 on him to win the fight, and he is victorious, you would walk away with a $165 profit.

Another betting option which is sometimes offered is the draw. You can sometimes bet on whether or not a bout will end in a draw.

Over/Under betting

In UFC fights, online sportsbooks will offer you the option to bet on the amount of rounds a fight will last. This means, the sportsbook will set the amount of rounds at a certain number, and then you can bet on whether or not the fight will go over or under that number.

Some bettors like to bet on the over/under much more than picking the winner of the match. The only problem with the over/under is the fact that a fighter can get knocked out with one hit, which would kill your bet.

Now you're ready to bet on UFC fights. Go now!

Deposit methods for online sportsbooks 

The number of deposit methods for online sportsbooks largely depends on if you are a U.S. citizen or not. U.S. citizens have less options for depositing, however it is still very easy to get money onto the sites. I do it all the time.

For US customers, the following methods work very well...
- Credit card (Visa/Mastercard and prepaid Visa)
- Money transfer
- NUcharge
- Click2Pay
- eWalletXpress

I personally use a prepaid Visa. These work very well. If you have a debit card from Mastercard, those also always work just as good.

Deposit options for International players
- Neteller
- Firepay
- MyCitadel
- Credit cards (Mastercard/Visa/Prepaid Visa)
- eChecks
- Moneybookers
- Central Coin
- Money transfer
- NUcharge
- Click2Pay
- eWalletXpress

International players really have tons of deposit options. Bodog is also very good about helping you personally with your account if you're having any problems depositing or withdrawing.

Enough talkin, I wanna bet now!
