拳击曾经是世界上最为流行的投注体育运动，产生的投注甚至超过了NFL比赛，只是直到最近才衰落下去。本来一切都很好，后来该体育运动出现黑幕交易，同时遭受谣言的困扰。投注行动有所放缓，到达一个更合理的水平，并已趋于平稳，健康的中间地带。今天，拳击投注恢复到一个欣欣向荣的状态，主要得益于网上体育博彩的来临。

　　大多数拳击投注采取两种主要的形式：moneyline和Over/Under。 Moneyline赌注是相当简单的一种投注方式 - 根据moneyline赔率，及其将会支付的奖金，尤其来你赌一个拳击手。拳击投注Over/Under则需根据比赛持续多少来投注，如命题风格的投注。

　　Moneyline投注

　　在moneyline的投注中，每个拳击手名字旁边都会列出一个数字，表示成功的几率。拳击比赛的列表类型如下：

　　特立尼达和多巴哥250

　　琼斯-320

　　平局1700

　　特立尼达的名字旁边的正数意味着他在这场比赛中处于弱旅。你在特立尼达和多巴哥那每下注100美元，如果他赢了比赛，您就有机会赢取$ 250。琼斯比较多人喜爱，所以他得到负数。如果你想在琼斯那下注，你需要下注320美元，才有机会赢得100美元的奖金。

　　平局几乎是不可能的事情，所以是大的正数。例如，你赌平局，而刚好他们比赛的结果是平局，那么你每下注每100美元将会赢得1700元。这是一个极不可能的事件，所以平局能够获得巨大的回报。

　　Over/Under投注

　　这种类型的投注，没有严格区分赢得还是输比赛掉。这一类型的投注就在于看比赛持续多长时间来判断是否投注成功。下面是一个典型的投注例子：

　　O 5 -150回合总计（“O”代表以上）

　　回合总计U 5 130（“U”站下）

　　如果你打赌，这场比赛将超过5轮，你必须下注150美元，才获得100美元的奖金。如果下注在持久少于五轮比赛上，你每下注130元，可以赢得$ 100。

　　Boxing Betting

　　Boxing was once the most bet-upon sport in the world, generating more betting action than even the NFL up until the recent past. All was well until the sport became plagued by rumors of high profile fight fixing and shady deals taking place behind the scenes. The betting action slowed down to a more reasonable rate and has since leveled off to a healthy middle ground. Today, boxing betting is a thriving industry, mostly thanks to the advent of online sports betting.

　　Most boxing wagers take place in one of two forms: the moneyline and the over/under. Moneyline bets are fairly simple – you bet on one boxer or the other to win and your winnings are paid according to the moneyline odds. Over/under boxing bets are reserved for proposition style bets such as wagers on how many rounds the match will last.

　　Moneyline Wagering

　　With moneyline bets, each boxer’s name is listed alongside a number that represents the odds. Boxing matches usually look something like this:

　　Trinidad +250

　　Jones -320

　　Draw +1700

　　The positive number next to Trinidad’s name means he’s the underdog in this match. For every $100 you bet on Trinidad, you stand to win $250 if he wins the match. Jones is the favorite so he gets the negative number. If you want to bet on Jones, you’ll need to wager $320 for every $100 in winnings.

　　Draws are unlikely so they get large positive numbers. In this example, you stand to win $1,700 for every $100 you bet on the draw. It’s a highly unlikely event so the payoff is a lot bigger for the draw.

　　Over/Under Bets

　　These types of bets are made on certain events that don’t strictly have win or lose outcomes. Examples of these types of bets are things like how long the match will last or how many points will be scored. A typical proposition bet will look something like this:

　　Total Rounds o 5 -150   （the “o” stands for over）

　　Total Rounds u 5 +130  （the “u” stands for under）

　　If you bet that this match will last over 5 rounds, you’ll have to wager $150 for every $100 in winnings. If bet on the match lasting less than five rounds, you can win $130 for every $100 that you bet.
