Boxing Wagering
Boxing is one of the the most simple sports to bet on. Betting on boxing is done by laying or taking money odds known as the Moneyline. The minus (-) sign indicates the Favorite and the plus (+) sign indicates the Underdog.

| Mosley |
- 140 |

Winning the Boxing Bet
In the above example Mosley is the favorite of the fight indicated by the minus sign. The bettor must bet $140 to win $100 or $14 to win $10. Mayweather is the underdog and the bettor would bet $100 to win $120 or $10 to win $12. In the event of a draw, wagers on the fight itself will be refunded. However, specific fight propositions must come as stated, such as a draw, either fighter by knockout or decision, or a specific round knockout, etc.
Additional Rules for Most Sportsbooks
Round propositions will be governed by the rules posted on wagering sheets or as stated at the time of the wager. In the event that either fighters do not make the required weight but the fight goes on, the following stipulations apply: When the bell sounds for the first round, the bout will be considered official, regardless of the scheduled length or title. The bout must have the original scheduled length to have action on a rounds proposition. A boxing match is declared official after the bell starting the first round has rung.
