Hey guys, last week was a tough one for us overall.

We picked nearly every fight on the card and for some fights, we also did a round total wager.

It was our worst week in quite a while but these two parlays saved us from taking a major hit.

Minus odds in UFC betting shows us who the favorite is and the number represents the amount of money you would have to wager in order to win $100. Plus odds in UFC betting shows us who the underdog is. We have fifteen fights lined up for this week’s UFC-Fight Night spectacle on Fight Island, and plenty of UFC odds available for us to delve into some parlay betting picks. Alexander Gustafsson. There are many betting angles you can take with our UFC predictions. Here are some of the most popular UFC betting markets:. Moneyline. UFC moneyline wagers are simply geared towards betting on who is going to win the fight. If you like the look of the underdog in an upcoming UFC fight, you can always bet. A friendly reminder to you fellow autists not to put amanda nunes in your ufc parlay, the slight odd boost is not worth the chance of heart break from every other leg hitting and megan anderson ruining your night. NFL to table tennis, small straight bets to huge parlays.

We were 4-7 with only one plus money play to hit but we got both of our parlays which brought us much closer to breaking even for the night.

Parlays can be terrible ideas or a lot of fun also.

The masked weigh-ins are done and the epic fights are approaching as we cover UFC 250: Nunes vs Spencer!

If you are doing 6,8, or 10-leg parlays then don’t expect to win every week or every month.

That’s a lottery ticket. A whole lot more cool stuff goes into an 8-team parlay than one lottery ticket you buy at the gas station, statistically, they are the same thing.

If you treat it as such, bet small, shrug off your losses, and celebrate hard when you win, I think that’s a fairly healthy relationship with sports betting parlays.

Call me crazy. Maybe I will write a blog about it one day but I love it.

Unless you’re anchoring with a heavy favorite, 3 is kinda pushing it.

Last week, we did a 2-leg and then just built on it for the 3-leg when we added Casey Kenney to our first play of Mackenzie Dern and Daniel Rodriguez.

The 2-leg paid 64.00 on a 100.00 dollar bet and the second one paid (+120).

BetOnline.ag has the betting odds for us.

Let’s see if we can put together another strong one for Saturday night’s fights in Las Vegas.

UFC 250 Parlay #1

This is a solid one here.

I am actually more confident in Sean O’Malley than I am with Amanda Nunes.

She is all the way up above (-600) right now.

O’Malley is a ninja in more ways than one.

Eddie Wineland is a tough gritty, experienced fighter who doesn’t mind taking two to give one back.

That is going to be a problem, though, against Sugar Sean O’Malley.

• He has 4 inches of height and 3 inches in reach over Eddie.
• He’s also 10 years younger.

Fighter’s born a decade later than their opponents win 66% of the time.

Sean is also more skilled and has many more tools at his disposal than right-hand Wine-Land.

Eddie throws from the hip too. I just see Sugar catching him with a knee up the middle or a head kick.

He might need to do both, though. Wineland has a head like a frozen coconut.

I feel like Charles Byrd should be (-280) to be honest with you.

Byrd is coming off of a bad car accident where he sustained some bad whiplash. I don’t know how much that affects his brain health but he has a clear path to victory in this fight.

Take Maki down, beat him up, and likely submit him.

UFC 250 Parlay #2

Call me crazy but I think Felicia Spencer can upset Amanda Nunes.

Why are we putting her as the third leg on a parlay then?!

Maybe if she got her a year from now after Amanda’s wife has their baby.

Some sleepless nights. Maybe a couple stomach flu’s as well.

Nunes would be one year older and Felicia can get one more year of striking under her belt…maybe add some funk to her takedown game.

I wouldn’t be entirely shocked if Felicia finds a way to win but it is highly unlikely.

In Conclusion

The parlays saved us last week and I think they will be a nice cherry on top of this week’s action.

UFC betting has become very popular over the past month.

As the populace learns the basic formula to win long term in the sport, we also can’t ignore the parlay.

It is a useful tool if one does not get cute.

Getting cute is adding Amanda Nunes on the end there.

• The payout increases by 35% and everyone and their third cousin is picking Nunes.
• If she loses, at least I will have yammered on about how there is a possibility.

Called it, didn’t call it.

Get your dough in on these parlays now, guys.

Evidently, Byrd is not the word yet as his betting odds have hung tight but O’Malley and Nunes’s lines have already skyrocketed.

So, you’ve used our other articles to learn how to bet on MMA, and you’ve managed to win a bit of cash and hide it from the wife. You’ve seen the odds on parlay betting, and figured maybe it was time to capitalize on those big odds. How hard can it be, right?

Well unless you’ve got a crystal ball, parlay betting can be a bit tricky. But once you’ve got it figured out, you can make some serious cash.

A parlay bet, also known as accumulator in the UK or a combo bet, is a single bet that links several individual wagers together in order to combine the payout odds.

The benefit is a higher payoffs than betting each event individually, with the wide risk of losing all your stake if one of the bets losses. If any of the bets in the parlay result in a “push” or tie, the parlay moves to a lower number of bets with odds reducing accordingly.

Parlays come after a single bet (doubles are also parlays). 2 bets and beyond are considered parlays, but the different combinations might have other exotic name of their own (source 1).

In the most common of MMA parlays, gamblers need to pick the winner of several fights and win all of them. Make one wrong pick, and you lose the whole bet. This doesn’t mean that it’s a suckers bet, it just means you need to do a lot of research to determine who to put your money on.

Parlay MMA Odds

Parlay odds pay higher than taking individual bets, but it still pays below true odds. A 2x MMA parlay pays out 2.6x , when true odds should be 3x. That missing payout is considered to be the sportsbook´s fee.

Are MMA Parlay Bets Profitable?

Compared to single bets parlays are way more profitable, the issue stands on the added risk. For parlay betting on MMA you need to master 2 things, fight knowledge and betting strategies:

1. MMA Master Mind. Gamblers need to go beyond the main fights and know their fighters well to figure out what are their true virtues and weaknesses are. Off stream fights offer better odds and underdogs show up every time, you just need to be well informed and follow fighter statistics. Some of the most popular MMA sites offer statistical tools like fightmetrics.com (source 2), the official UFC statistical feed used by sites like ESPN and Yahoo.

2. Betting Strategy. The backbone of any gambler that has ever made money consistently. Professional bettors divide their total bankroll on several sportsbooks, and apply a piece of their entire strategy one each after following 4 basic betting tips. A parlay strategy could include a double bet on one site and a hedge bet on another. Hedge betting is done to offset the cost of a loss with a bet on another sport event, or the same fight but another type of bet.

Bonus: If you are a rookie in sports betting, your best option would be to find successful MMA bettors on social media that offer their services for free or a small fee. You can find tons on Twitter, Facebook or on tipster community sites. Make sure to follow their progress on a spreadsheet before you jump in to follow. They usually apply strategies and have a full understanding of their specialized sport.

Think about different ways you can leverage your risk by betting on different sites and avoiding the limiting conditions on tactics mentioned in the TOS. Bet different stake sizes in order to recover from losing bets on other sites, or use only a portion of your wins to try luck on interesting high paying parlays.

Parlay Payouts

Consider a $100 bet with the stake not included in the payout:

2 team parlay – 13/5 odds, pays $260

3 team parlay – 6/1 odds, pays $600

4 team parlay – 10/1 odds, pays $1000

5 team parlay – 20/1 odds, pays $2,000

6 team parlay – 40/1 odds, pays $4,000

7 team parlay – 75/1 odds, pays $7,500

8 team parlay – 150/1 odds, pays $15,000

9 team parlay – 300/1 odds, pays $30,000

Ufc 257 Fight Predictions

10 team parlay – 700/1 odds, pays $70,000

11 team parlay – 1100/1 odds, pays $110,000

MMA Parlay Example

Let’s look at a past event for an example – UFC 111

You’ve got a $1,000 bankroll on this event. You could split that up, and put $500 on Hardy, $300 on Carwin, and $200 on Brown, and if you win on all 3, you’d profit about $3,159. But if you were to place a parlay bet (+515 Hardy/ +108 Carwin / +130 Brown) and these three picks won, you’d profit about 3 times better – somewhere around $9,479. Not too shabby!

The downside of the parlay, if any one fighter loses – you lose the whole bet. And anyone betting on Hardy over GSP deserves to have someone take their money!

If parlay is the way you want to go, you need to make sure you know who is fighting and what their strengths and weaknesses are. Research the different fighters so you can determine who has the edge in a particular match, and then take a shot. We do recommend beginning with singles, then move to prop bets, and then try out parlays.

If you’re going to take parlays, the best risk versus reward strategy is to bet on two or three fights, max. The odds of you picking four or more fights correctly go down substantially, so be smart and bet realistically. Parlay can be a good option, if you have a good strategy. Great risks can have great rewards. I like to keep my parlays for fun, and then put my big money on straight bets.
