Is UFC Parlay Insurance a Good/Profitable Promo?
Yes! Absolutely. We love UFC parlay insurance.
It can definitely be profitable, but only if used correctly. Below we will detail strategies for how to use this promo.
Strategies For Betting UFC Parlay Insurance
Of course, with any type of promotion, there are going to be strategies involved to best take advantage of them.
Don’t Go Crazy With it
Even with getting the insurance, the parlay should still be bet within moderation. Meaning, you shouldn’t start placing 10- or 15-leg parlays with the insurance. Naturally, the more legs you add to the parlay, the less chance you have of only one leg missing (alongside an even lower chance of the actual parlay hitting).
With that said, the best practice here is to add only the number of legs to your parlay necessary to meet the minimum requirement. If the sportsbook requires a parlay with four-plus legs, then only place four legs. You’d be surprised how far a $25, four-leg parlay can get you in terms of odds.
Bet The Maximum Amount Refunded
It is also a best practice to not bet above the amount that sportsbooks will refund you. If the book refunds up to $25, then bet $25. If you bet more or less than that amount, you are lowering the value of the promotion.
Pay Attention To The Minimum Odds Requirement
This is probably the most important strategy in terms of actually getting a parlay to win or not. If there is no requirement on minimum odds, then the best strategy is to parlay moneyline favorites.
Of course, with how much variance there is in the UFC, there are going to be plenty of upsets. The key here is to find favorites that have a positive expected value associated with their moneyline odds.
If the book you are using does have a minimum odds requirement, then finding positive EV bets is even more valuable. This is where we highly recommend using the OddsJam Positive EV page to find three to five UFC bets that are Positive EV, and use those to build your parlay.
What Sportsbooks Offer UFC Parlay Insurance?
The most popular one is FanDuel Sportsbook. The terms of their UFC parlay insurance are similar to what was detailed above, with the note to confirm being they require four legs minimum. Everything else is the same as previously stated (odds no worse than -200, refund up to $25).
