First th .stluing I did was hit up a bunch of different sportsbooks' websites. I’m talking DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM – the whole shebang. Wanted to get a feel for what the baseline odds were looking like. I just typed "Belal Muhammad odds" into Google and clicked through the results.
Initial Scoping: Scanned th .puhce pages for his upcoming fights. Sometimes it's right there on the main page, other times you gotta dig into the UFC/MMA section. Found a few different sites listing odds for his next potential matchup.
Once I had a general idea of the odds, I started digging deeper. I wanted to see if I could find any discrepancies between the different books. Sometimes you'll see one book offering slightly better odds than another, and that's where you can potentially find value.
Compare and Contrast: I literally copied and pasted the odds from each site into a spreadsheet. Made it easier to compare them side-by-side. Looked for the best price on Belal to win, and also checked the odds for his opponent.
Then I started trying to figure out why the odds were what they were. Was there any news about injuries? Had Belal had a tough weight cut? Did his opponent have a stylistic advantage? I was diving deep into forums and MMA news sites trying to figure out the background story that could influence the fight.
Digging Deeper: Checked out some MMA analysis videos on YouTube. Those guys often have some pretty insightful takes on upcoming fights. Also, scrolled through Twitter to see what the MMA journalists were saying.
After hours of this I had a pretty good handle on it. Realized Belal was considered a favorite (more often than not). Ended up feeling pretty confident about my understanding of the situation.
So yeah, that was my little adventure into Belal Muhammad's odds. It's a lot of work, but if you're serious about betting, it's worth putting in the time.
