What does it all mean? Here’s how MMA betting lines work:
In this fight, Jones is the favorite and at -825 it means for every $8.25 you bet, you will win $1 if he wins the fight. So if you bet $825 on Jones and he wins, you’d profit $100. If Jones were to lose though, you’d lose the full $825. If you were to bet on Gustafsson at +702, you would would win $7.02 for every $1 you bet. So if you bet $100 on Gus and he wins the fight, you will profit $702. If Gus were to lose the fight, you’d lose your original $100 bet.
Good luck.
