This page will be specific to K-1 Strike Force online betting in general, including the best sites to make Strike Force match bets at and upcoming fights and lines.

Strikeforce was originally a kickboxing organization that was founded in 1985. The organization implemented mixed martial arts, MMA, in 2006 to benefit from and promote the popularity of professional MMA in the US. It is one of the most popular MMA organizations in the US alongside the UFC.

How To Bet On Strikeforce

Strikeforce betting works exactly like a boxing moneyline. Sportsbook services use the same betting structure because both MMA and boxing are individual sports that pit two fighters against each other.

A Strikeforce moneyline will be identified by two triple-digit numbers. For any particular match, each Strikeforce fighter has their own line to wager on. One fighter may be identified as a -320 while the other fighter may be tagged with a 400.

A negative number always identifies the favored fighter for a match. The underdog carries a positive number. A moneyline is not required to have one positive and one negative number. A match may have both fighters marked as underdogs. For example, fighter A is a 200 and fighter B is a 255. Fighter A would be considered the relative favorite compared to fighter B who is a bigger underdog. This situation is not common and usually only applies to moneylines that specify what the method of winning will be.

Strikeforce MMA Betting Example

Using an example is the best way to understand how betting on a Strikeforce moneyline works. Say a bettor wants to make a wager on a fight between Walker and Nagy. Walker is set at -325 and Nagy is set at 250. Walker is the favorite for the match while Nagy is the underdog.

A bet on Walker to win would require the bettor to wager $325 in order to win $100. A bet on Nagy to win would require a wager of $100 to win $250. A negative moneyline always identifies how much the bettor would win if $100 were wagered. A positive moenyline tells the bettor how much must be wagered to win $100.

Betting On Strikeforce Win Methods

A standard moneyline is the most prevalent type of Strikeforce betting. A typical moneyline does not take into account how the fighter won the match. A win by submission is valued just as much as a knockout or win by stoppage.

Certain sportsbook services may offer the ability to wager on lines that detail the method of win for the fighter. For example, a sportsbook service may offer the following lines:

• Walker KO win: 220
• Great KO win: 170
• Walker submission win: -230
• Great submission win: 300

The lines for each specific type of win will differ because they take into account the fightersí specific abilities. A fighter known for knockouts will be favored to win by that method but may be considered an underdog if the fight is won by a submission.
