Betting Strategies: MMA Live Betting Tips
Whether you are a newcomer to the betting world or someone who is looking for that master trick to dive deep in the betting world, look no further. Live betting is the easiest, yet the most underrated method of betting.
The toughest aspect of live betting is predicting the move lines. The lines keep on changing and getting your bet before the line changes is equally important. Bookmaker can change their lines quickly, and even the slightest factors can effect the line in a fighter’s favor. Many times, they overreact to small changes and that brings a great opportunity for the bettor. Take advantage of this situation and bet on the fighter that you think can win at a cheap price.
Stick to a Plan
Before you start betting on a certain fight, develop a plan. Make sure you are aware of the fighter’s tendencies and have studied the fighter’s style properly. This will help you in making the right bet for any sort of UFC betting. There are cases when fighters go against their normal playing tricks; you need to track those tricks carefully. Maybe they are injured or mentally tired to fight the game. One of the things to keep an eye on is the time when they are on the verge of giving up. When they drop their hands, the reaction time can be unexpectedly slower. Even the strongest fighter can get down in minutes if they are drenched with fatigue.
Location of the Card
Where the fight is taking place is important to look for when you are placing your bet. After all, we cannot forget some of the most controversial decisions have taken place in a fighter’s home country. UFC cards in countries like Brazil have resulted in some of the most controversial decisions to date. These places bring a chance to win huge money without the same level of strategy required. The best bet here will be playing along with the fighter who has big ‘plus’ money. With the potential hometown favoritism, the books usually overhaul one fighter over other.
Point Handicaps
Handicaps provided by a bookmaker can be your best bet. Usually, they are offered in the third round of the match just before the result is read. Make sure you utilize these handicaps in a proper way. The lines move more quickly than a new bettor can imagine and this is what you have to excel at.
Try to be sure about your moves. During the UFC betting, there is no time to waste at all as the bookmaker freezes the line when something important is there to happen. Make sure you know all the tricks and tips of the bookmaker so that you can have a quick trigger finger. Another live betting trick is to hit the totals. In case, the match is fast-paced, take on the under. However, in case the match is slow paced, take the over 2.5 total.
Betting is definitely a skill that needs to be acquired. However, this is something that can be acquired only after a regular practice.
