    What's the deal with the UFC Odds page?

    I'm pretty new to SBR so can someone explain? Why are the percentages of all wagers right now on the underdogs?

    59% of people putting in wagers at SBR can't be on Justin Willis. Something's off here.

    On singles probably yes since Blaydes is -250 fav. Those who like Blaydes parlay him with someone else and well that is not single anymore so doesnt count.

    59% of people here can't be playing Willis as the winner. That's absurd.

    And 65% are on Pettis? Nope.

    https://www.bestfightodds.com/

    If you push the link where its written "UFC ON ESPN+...."

    There will be a diagram of which fighter in percentage that is the most betted, i think across all sportsbooks which is listed from bestfightodd.com.

    Right now its:

    Chris gutierres, jennifer maia, formiga and makdessi.

    I have over time observed the betting publics tendencies from this site, not religiously, i havent docuented every event, but i do pay attention, and from my memory it seems like...3 out of 4 of the most betted fighters goes to actually win. Often times its favourites so their expected to win anyway, i would say its useful information although every fight needs to be evaluated independently.

    That diagram shows the biggest line movement not the most bet fights.

    Enfuego- the five biggest line shifts win, so 5 out of 5 (Gutierrez,makdessi,maia,formiga,barber)

    And, the fighters favored with a higher % on the odds page went 3-9. I'll continue tracking it next week too.
