MMA Odds, Rankings, Results for the UFC & more Mixed Martial Arts by Joey OddessaJoey Oddessa
"Joey Oddessa has gone from booking numbers in New York Strip clubs to one of the world’s premier Boxing and MMA oddsmakers. His "Oddessa Line" has become synonymous in mixed martial arts and boxing as the Stardust line was for the NFL before the casino closed down in 2006.
Joey Oddessa is widely considered to be the top oddsmaker for Boxing, Mixed Martial Arts, Amatuer Wrestling and the majority of combat sports that now have a regular spot on every sports betting menus for more than a decade. Oddessa didn’t invent the wheel but gave it new tires and rims with his vision for the potential in the offshore markets since 1998.

After 10 years of living in the shadows in New York and stretching down the east coast as far down as Florida, like so many others of that era, he made his leap of faith to move to the sunshine of Costa Rica.
At the time, Costa Rica was seen as the new frontier for North American bookies looking to legitimatize their business. The Country was welcoming to the new industry; it was creating jobs for the locals and raising the living standards of the young people able to find jobs in the sportsbook call centers. Without a job or speaking a word of Spanish despite a college education in secondary education history he jumped on a plane and landed himself in a $20 hotel in downtown San Jose..."
