Over / Under Betting Guide

Over / Under Bet

This type of bet is based on the total goals of a soccer game. Generally, the bookmakers set 2.5 goal as the line and the punters choose under 2.5 (no-score, 1 goal and 2 goals) or over 2.5(3 goals and more).

There is no draw (push) possibility of this bet. It means you will win or lose your stake at the end of 90 minute time. You have 50% chance to win the bet. No extra-time or penalty shoot outs after 90 minute counts for this type.

Example:

Arsenal v Charlton - Under 2.5 = 1.95 - Over 2.5 = 1.90

* Consider that you bet 100 on Under2.5 goals. If the game ends with 0,1 or 2 goals at the end of 90 minutes, your stake will return as 195.

It means you have 195-100 = 95 profit. If the game ends with 3 or more goals, you lose your stake.

For some games, the bookmakers offer under/over 3 goals. It means you will get your stake back if the game ends with 3 goals.

It is the same with any other sports. However, the lines are different from soccer. Lets examine a basketball game.

Example:

Miami v San Antonio - Under 170 = 1.91 - Over 170 = 1.91

* Consider that you bet 100 on Under 170. If the game ends with any score under 170 total, your stake will return as 191. It means you have 191-100 = 91 profit.

If the game ends with more than 170 points, you lose your stake. If the game ends with exact 170 points, it means the bet is a push and no wager. You get your stake back.

In the NBA games, extra-times counts for this bet. However, some of the bookies do not count in the extra times for Euro Basket games. Be aware of this when you are thinking of betting on U/O. Read the notes of bookmaker carefully.
