Betting Options
There are a few straight bet options available to UFC 209 bettors along with betting types that are quite simple:
Moneyline
Moneyline bets are the most common and simple way to bet on UFC 209, and are great options for beginners. There is a winner and a loser of a bout – it really can’t get more straight forward than that. Bettors simply select which fighter they believe will win the match. Will it be Woodley or Thompson? Evans or Kelly? The odds are presented at each book, so be sure to do some line shopping before you submit your bet slip.
Totals
Also known as over/under betting, betting the totals is slightly different than other sports that bettors might be used to. The total for a UFC fight is based off how many rounds they believe the match will last. Oddsmakers will select the round in which the match will end and bettors have to select whether they think the total will be over or under that number.
Betting Types
Betting types make things a little more interesting and up the risk of your bets. There are a few types available for UFC 209:
Victory Betting
Predicting the outcome of UFC 209 will be tough, but bettors are able to not only bet on the winner of the fight, but how the winner will defeat his opponent. Choices include knockout, submission, or by judge’s decision. An in-depth analysis of both fighters will help you determine who will win, and how they might do it. Their strengths and weaknesses play a big role here.
Round Betting
Similar to totals betting, you must determine when the fight will end – but with a little more precision. If the name isn’t a giveaway - bettors are to select the specific round that the fight will end.
Props
Props primarily focus on the fighter performances and the bonuses awarded post-fight. UFC 209's Performance of the Night and Fight of the Night are up for grabs, and bettors can cash in by predicting the recipients of these bonuses.
