How & Where to Bet on McGregor vs Khabib UFC 229 Fight
Following a hiatus of more than two years from the sport, the UFC’s biggest celebrity Conor McGregor is back in action, looking to reclaim his lightweight title out of undefeated Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in vegas on October 6. The champ, Nurmagomedov, opened as the betting favorite at -160 with the challenger, McGregor, coming back as the +120 underdog.
These two warriors have a lot of bad blood coming from an altercation between Khabib and Conor’s friend and teammate Artem Lobov earlier UFC 223 in New York in April. Now the highly anticipated struggle is official and sportsbooks such as BetOnline happen to be accepting wagers with this upcoming bout.
To wager McGregor vs Khabib
If it comes to betting for the first time, the chances you commonly hear are about the moneyline. While McGregor came back as the +120 underdog, the launching moneyline had Khabib since the -160 favorite. Fundamentally, moneyline is a fancy term for who is going to win.
However, what exactly can +120 and -160 mean? Well, for the minus-money, you would need to bet that much to earn $100 so in the instance of this scrap, you would wager $160 to earn a profit of $100 for a total of $260. Betting on McGregor in +120 means that in case you bet $100, you would profit an extra $120 for a total of $220. On a smaller scale, for each dollar you wager on McGregor, you could gain $1.20, whereas you would need to wager $1.60 to profit $1 if you wager on Khabib.
The cause of this can be oddsmakers give the edge to Khabib to win and they want you to wager more for a smaller benefit. On the other hand, if you gamble on Conor, that oddsmakers believe will shed, you can make more of a profit if he pulls off the upset.
So far this season when it comes to underdogs vs favorites, the underdogs have won 36.1 percentage of fights, with the largest upset by Paul Craig at +535 (for each dollar you wagered, you’d have gained $5.35) over Magomed Akalaev.
With the introduction odds of -160 for Khabib and +120 for Conor, sportsbooks expect a close struggle. For comparison, when Conor fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the past year’s superfight, the undefeated fighter opened at -800 with the UFC star coming back in +500, which reveals a massive disparity plus a more lopsided perspective of this bout.
