Boxing Betting Information on OddsShark
Betting on boxing is easy even if you don’t follow the sport closely. Knowing the fighters can help you make smart bets, along with understanding boxing odds.
Reading boxing odds starts with knowing what the plus and minus signs stand for. The minus sign (-) means the fighter is the favorite. The plus sign (+) means the fighter is the underdog. For example, odds for a fight between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury would look something like this:
Deontay Wilder -230
Tyson Fury +180
In this scenario, Wilder is the favorite and Fury is the underdog.
If you were to put money on Wilder, a $150 bet would net you a payout of $215.22 – a win of $65.22 plus your original $150 would be returned to you.
If you were to put the same amount on Fury and he won, you’d get $420 – your original bet of $150 would be returned along with your winnings of $270.
You do not have to bet $150. You can wager whatever you want. To see what you’d win by betting any amount, check out our Odds Calculator.
