The simplest bet to make for this fight is on the moneyline. That’s a wager on which fighter will win, regardless of the method of victory or length of the fight.
Stevenson is a huge -2500 favorite on the moneyline at DraftKings, which means you’d have to wager a whopping $2,500 to win $100. Harutyunyan is a significant +1200 underdog, so you’d win $1,200 if your $100 bet on him cashes. As of Wednesday afternoon, 95% of the bet tickets at DraftKings were on Stevenson to win.
Another straightforward bet is the Over/Under on the total number of rounds the fight will last. The line is set at 10.5 rounds, with the Over juiced to -180 and the Under at +130. While Stevenson is a big favorite, oddsmakers aren’t expecting an early knockout.
You can also bet on the method of victory as a prop bet. Stevenson winning by decision or technical decision has the shortest odds at -130 while Stevenson winning by KO/TKQ/DQ is +105. Harutyunyan’s odds for those outcomes are much longer at +3000 and +1800, respectively.
Bettors can also wager on whether the fight will go the distance. The fight going the distance has -125 odds compared to -110 odds for the fight to end early, so oddsmakers are expecting a lengthy battle.
Lastly, you can combine multiple wagers into a parlay to get longer odds and take a shot at a higher payout. For example, you can bet on a fighter to win and for the match to go over or under a certain number of rounds in the same bet ticket.
