UFC Underdogs vs Favorites and How Bookies Can Use This Info For Profits

When it comes to moneyline wagers, online bookie agents don’t charge a fee. We must get creative to attract wagers that are to our advantage. A great sport where all wagers are to our advantage is UFC.

UFC betting has a built-in edge that makes it much more profitable to sportsbook operators than boxing.

Check out what that edge is.

UFC Pays Bookies on Both Underdogs and Favorites

UFC pays bookies on both underdogs and favorites. The reason is that odds are almost always fair.

That means, odds on favorites aren’t out of whack. They’re where they’re supposed to be. If a favored fighter offers -400 odds, the favored fighter is a legit -400 fighter in the matchup.

Same goes with the dog. If a dog is only at +120, that means the dog has a real shot to win.

Let’s look at what’s happened so far in UFC betting this year:

Favorites                                39

Underdogs                              21

Favorites have won close to double the matches that dogs have won. This shouldn’t scare pay per head agents. In fact, it should bolster their attempts at gaining more UFC betting action.

The reason?

All pay per head agents that work with a company like PayPerHead.com have what’s called a mass editing tool. The mass editing tool allows agents to set max betting limits.

Check out a few ways agents can use the mass editing tool and set max betting limits on UFC fights that lead to massive profit.

1. Set max betting limits on underdogs

This goes without saying. It automatically cuts losses. More importantly, if the trend holds this year, dogs will always lose twice as many bouts as favorites.

So, not only are you cutting losses on potential underdog victories, but you’re also rarely losing any money at all because dogs just don’t win as many bouts in UFC.

2. Set max betting limits on favorites

Sounds crazy, but this helps pay per head agents a couple of ways.

• First, by setting a max betting limit on favorites, you cut potential payouts.

That’s a great thing, right?

• Second, by setting max betting limits on favorites, you encourage wagering on underdogs.

That’s a win-win for you. Why? Remember, underdogs lose twice as many times as favorites. The key to making a profit on UFC bouts, then, is to always set max betting limits.
