UFC 118 Parlays

UFC 118 is around the corner and because I’ve had tons of comments about people wanting more information on Parlays and some suggestions as to where and who to bet on I’m making this post.

There are only two online sports books that allow you to place UFC 118 MMA Parlays and those are Bodog.Com and BetUs.Com. For some reason SportsBook.Com don’t allow mma parlays, maybe they have took some big hits in the past? All I know is that when these hit there is some serious money to be made!

I usually like to place a couple of 4-5 fight parlays for some small change left over in my account. Usually I’ll go for a couple big outsiders who have a decent knockout record or against fighters who have had a questionable chin in the past. We all know fights can end in a instant which makes backing outsiders appealing because these can multiply your winnings dramatically.

Here are a couple of my UFC 118 Parlay Tips -
