The odds for UFC 77 have been moving all over the place in the past 2 weeks. Follow along as I go over the changes in this article.
Line changes at Bodog Life
- Rich Franklin vs. Anderson Silva opened at Silva (-270) and Franklin (+210). Since then the odds have shifted drastically and Silva is now listed at (-190) and Franklin is (+155). Bodog currently has the best odds for betting on Silva out of all the major online sportsbooks.
- Brandon Vera and Tim Sylvia haven’t really drawn much action yet from bettors at Bodog. The line for this bout opened at Vera (-200) and Sylvia (+160). Currently they are listed as Vera (-180) and Sylvia (+160). Not a significant change at all really.
Line changes at 5dimes
- The biggest jump in lines at 5dimes has to be for Jason Macdonald and Yushin Okami. Macdonald opened as a (-105) favorite and is currently a (+200) underdog! That’s a hell of a jump. Okami was slated to start at (-135) but has since come all the way up to (-260). 5dimes seems to have really dropped the ball on the opening line of this bout.
- 5Dimes seems to be keeping their prices up for the main bout. Silva opened at a whopping (-300) with Franklin at (+220). The lines have dropped down, but they still are sporting the highest odds for Silva at (-225). However if you’re a Franklin fan for this bout, then 5dimes has the best odds available right now with Franklin listed at (+185).
Line changes at Sportsbook.com
- Sportsbook.com currently only has odds up for the main two bouts. In the Silva/Franklin match not much has changed there, but in the Vera/Sylvia match Sportsbook.com currently has the best odds available for betting on Brandon Vera at (-175). Compare this with most other books which have -200, -185 and -190. It might not seem like much, but every little bit helps over the long haul.
Line changes at BetUS.com
- BetUS.com just got their odds up for UFC 77. They haven’t moved enough to comment on yet. They currently have the best odds available for Kalib Starnes at (-145) and also for Yushin Okami at (-240)
I’m sure the odds will move a bit more before the fight. Most of the casual betting money will come in the day of the fight and this will cause the odds on every fight to jump around. Fortunately for us, unlike horse racing in sports betting if you get in on a good line, you get to keep that good line. Those guys that dawdle around with the ponies are nuts if you ask me.
