Here at NetBet, we’ve got a whole load of great markets for sports betting, and we offer some of the best boxing odds around. We don’t just take bets on individual fights; we offer online betting on plenty of deeper markets on our UK betting site. If you want to place any sports bet, here’s a quick guide on how exactly you should go about it.
Biggest Betting Events in Boxing
Most sports determine their champions with an undisputed league format or championship. In boxing, however, matchups can often draw more attention than the actual status of the fight itself. Generally speaking, the heavyweight division does spark the most attention but that largely depends on the charisma of certain fighters. With this in mind, there isn’t an event for boxing fans to bet on annually, rather big fights are arranged and some of them capture the public imagination more than others.
Best Bets in Boxing
Outright Winner
In boxing, it is possible to bet on who you believe will be the outright winner of the match. Since there are only two likely outcomes in fight, this bet will only give great returns when there is a true David vs Goliath contest. Having said that, if the fighter you believe will win the fight has good odds next to their name, why not have a bet?
Most Popular Bets in Boxing
Round Betting
Boxing matches at the highest level are made up of 12 rounds. Maybe there is something about how the two fighters line up that makes you think that the boxing match will end in the first or second round. If this is the case you can use your boxing knowledge to place a bet on when you think the fight will come to a close.
Fight to be Decided on Points
If the fight goes 12 rounds without being stopped the outcome will then be decided by how many points a fighter accumulates according to the scoring of three judges. You might decide that there is no way that two defensive boxers will ever allow themselves to be on the end of a knockout. If this is the case you can check out the odds and place a bet on the fight to go the distance if you think it is worth it.
Winner Plus Round Stoppage
For this bet, you will be betting on which fighter you believe will emerge victorious and in which round you believe they will win. Getting this prediction correct is very difficult so often the odds will be very high.
Prop Bets
Prop bets are often fun bets that don’t have a direct relation to the final outcome of the fight. For example, you could bet on the match resulting in a split decision. This means that two judges’ scores indicate that one fighter has won while the others suggest that the other fighter has. Prop bets can also be super niche and related only to a specific fighter.
