Default BetUS.com - UFC 68 Betting - Handicapping The Uprising

Hey Y'all, Damon D here from BetUS.com.
Here are a few tips on how the lines work in MMA fighting.

Those + and - numbers you see next to a fight is called the Money Line.

Its all based on $100.

If a fighter is a FAVORITE, they will have a minus (-) line.
For instance, in UFC 68, Tim Sylvia is a -350 Favorite. That means, in order for you to WIN $100, you must wager $350. So if you bet $350 on Tim Sylvia to WIN, your total Payout would be $450.

Easy right?

Now, if a fighter is an UNDERDOG, they will have a plus (+) line. For instance, Randy Couture is a +280 Underdog against Tim Sylvia. That means, for every $100 you wager, you win $280 back! So, if you bet $100 on Randy Couture to WIN, your total payout be $380!

Its that simple.

As for Over/Under, I'll have to correct my buddy Acidofil in its importance to the MMA bettor. (sorry pal!)

At BetUS.com, we offer you the ability to pick the Over/Under in the ROUNDS of MMA fights! So you don't just get an opportunity to pick who will win, but you can wager on how long the fight will last!

For instance, in the Chris Lytle vs Matt Hughes fight, The Over/Under is set at 1.5 rounds.

For all the latest UFC 68 Odds and lines, head to www.betUS.com/ufc-betting.

Hope this helps guys, let us know if you need more info!

-D

I'm too scared to bet on this show, outside of maybe Couture-Sylvia. I like the numbers there, but still am too much of a pussy to put my money where my mouth is.

Is it legal to bet on UFC through this site? Also, if it is legal, can anyone confirm that this is a reputable site?

Thanks.

They're our sponsor, and the sponsor of a ton of other major MMA websites. I've never bet with them (or anyone else for that matter online) so I couldn't say honestly. I believe Luis Cruz plays through these guys though, and he wouldn't fuck around with anyone who isn't trustworthy. We wouldn't carry their advertisements if they weren't legit either.

If you are in the US and wagering online it is illegal.

With that being said I have done it many timesCasino, Poker and sports and everyone I have wagered with is legit. Setup an account with NEtteller.com. pretty much all gambeling site use them. Dont even try to use a credit card directlt with the gambeling site.

Netteller is no longer available to US customers, you have to find another way to fund your acct. My book uses Western Union and prepaid debit cards. It works great and I have had no problems.
