Is it smart to bet on both fighters?

yes, but it depends on the circumstances. Betting on both teams (also called arbitrage betting or middling) can result in the bettor making a profit — regardless of the outcome — by placing one bet per each outcome (and with different betting companies).

Can You Bet on Both Teams in Sports Gambling?

Many sports bettors wonder if they can bet on both teams. The answer is …

… yes, but it depends on the circumstances.

Betting on both teams (also called arbitrage betting or middling) can result in the bettor making a profit — regardless of the outcome — by placing one bet per each outcome (and with different betting companies).

Again, the conditions must allow it.

Arbitrage betting arises when bookmakers have different opinions on the outcome of a sports event. It’s the most talked-about when learning about betting on both teams, so we’ll focus on arbitrage betting here and compare it to middling in a bit.

So stick with us.

The right condition (which can be rare) would provide the odds being so far apart that you can bet and win regardless of the outcome.

Let’s look at an example:

Say you bet $100 on the Cardinals at +110 against the Cubs with one sportsbook. You’d profit $110 with a win. Simultaneously, another sportsbook lists the Cardinals at -105 and the Cubs at -105.

Can you make money betting on both teams?

You can bet $105 on the Cubs to win $100 and guarantee either a break-even or $5 profit. Note that these arbitrage bets are more often available to bettors wagering on opening lines, and that they quickly disappear.

Arbitrage bets require:

Shopping around

Using multiple sportsbooks; and

A decent knowledge of betting.

ZenSports takes the guesswork out of betting (for betting pros or rookies) and gives you the most choices of any sports betting app out there, getting rid of the need for a middleman sportsbook. Bet against the house, create your own bets against others in our marketplace, or bet with your friends.

What Happens if You Bet on Both Teams to Win?

When you bet on both teams to win (arbitrage betting), you are guaranteed to win one of them and go 1-1.

How much you win, and continue to win, depends on:

How much is Jake Paul belt worth?

The special design will go to the MVP, or in this case, the MVB, the most valuable boxer. Jake Paul's name appears at the bottom of the belt, and is said to be worth more than 290,000 euros.

Jake Paul continues to make his presence felt in the world of boxing, with the 25-year-old set to face Tommy Fury on August 6. Before stepping into the ring, the YouTuber turned boxer used his show on the platform to reveal the belt that will go to the boxer that leaves the ring with their hand raised. While pride is on the line, the reality is there is much more at stake. The belt is among the most expensive in boxing history, and while it's a bit controversial, it's certainly made in Paul's style.

The belt

The special design will go to the MVP, or in this case, the MVB, the most valuable boxer. Jake Paul's name appears at the bottom of the belt, and is said to be worth more than 290,000 euros. The most eye-catching aspects of it are on the sides, where there are a pair of diamond-encrusted watches. While it is predominantly white, there are splashes of yellow, pink and green.

Tense atmosphere

There's been no shortage of words between the two boxers in the lead up to the fight. While Fury believes Paul is only dressing up as a boxer, the American says he's going to silence those in the boxing world by knocking out his opponent.
