The most common bet type in combat sports — simply pick which fighter will win the fight.

A handicap applied to even out the matchup between a favorite and an underdog.

Bet on whether a fight will last longer or shorter than a set number of rounds.

The sportsbook's built-in commission on every bet — also called the vig or vigorish.

The gold standard for measuring betting skill — beating the closing odds consistently means you're a winning bettor.

A sportsbook promotion that temporarily increases the odds on a specific bet to attract bettors.

A promotional offer where the sportsbook matches a percentage of your initial deposit with bonus funds.

A free bet given to new users when they create an account, often with no deposit required.

A bet placed with promotional funds from the sportsbook rather than your own money.
