In MMA sports betting, the term “Over 1.5 rounds” refers to a total rounds bet, meaning you’re wagering on how long the fight will last — not who wins.
What “Over 1.5 Rounds” Means:
You’re betting that the fight will go longer than 1.5 rounds.
- 1.5 rounds = 7 minutes and 30 seconds into the fight
- For 3-round fights: halfway through Round 2
- For 5-round fights: same rule — 7 minutes and 30 seconds
Example :
- Let’s say Fighter A and Fighter B are in a 3-round fight.
- You bet on Over 1.5 Rounds
- If the fight reaches 2:31 of Round 2 or later, your bet wins.
- If the fight ends before 2:30 of Round 2, your bet loses.
Why Use This Bet?
- Good for cautious matchups or fighters known for durability.
- Avoids the stress of picking a winner — you just need the fight to last.
