Step 1
Make a friendly bet on Ultimate Fighting with your friends. You can often make monetary bets without having to worry about any legal issues. You could also make the loser of the bet pay for the broadcast of the UFC fight or the food for the party.
-
Step 2
Set up a betting pool with your co-workers or friends. You can have everyone place bets on each fight in the UFC event and give the pool to whoever predicts the most winners. This style of betting allows the winner to get a decent-size prize and none of the losers have to pay too much money.

Step 3
Research online gambling in your state to be sure it's legal. The State Gambling Commission is the group that regulates online betting. Some states, like Washington, consider online gambling to be a felony.
-
Step 4
Check out various online gambling sites if you plan to bet on Ultimate Fighting. You need to research the company to be sure that it is not a scam and that your winnings will be paid out. An online betting company is required to disclose an actual address and you can contact the Better Business Bureau in that area to find out more.
-
Step 5
Place your bets online before the night of the event. Most sites don't accept bets past a certain hour on the day of the fight. Betting odds often vary by site, so check different places to make the most of your bet.
-
Step 6
Reread the gambling laws of your state to be sure that your bets on Ultimate Fighting won't get you into any legal trouble. There are some sites that provide good reference material for state laws, like Gambling Law US (see Resources below). Always contact your state government or a legal professional if you have any doubts about what you read online.
