Over/Under is one of the most popular options. With this bet, players will predict the total number of goals in the match, not which team wins or loses. In this article, ABC8 will learn in detail how to read the best and important notes when placing bets.
What is Over/Under?
Over/Under, also known as Over/Under, is a form of betting based on the total number of goals scored in a soccer match. Players do not need to predict exactly which team wins or loses, but only need to bet on the total number of goals scored by both teams after the end of the match.
There are two basic options in this type of bet:
Over: Players bet on the total number of goals in the match being greater than a number given by the bookmaker.
Under: The player bets on the total number of goals in the match being less than that number.
For example, if the bookmaker offers a bet of 2.5 goals for a match, the player who chooses Over will win if the total number of goals in the match is greater than 2.5 (ie, 3 goals or more). Conversely, the player who chooses Under will win if the total number of goals is less than 2.5 (ie, 2 goals or less).
How to read different types of Over/Under bets in football
There are many different odds offered for each match, depending on the nature of the match, the strength of the two teams, and other factors. Below are some common types of Over/Under and how to read each type.
Over/Under 1.5 Goals
This is the simplest and easiest bet to understand among all types of bets. With this bet, the player will have two options:
Over (Over 1.5): If the match has 2 goals or more, the player who bets Over will win the bet.
Under (Under 1.5): If the match has 1 goal or no goals, the player who bets on under will win the bet.
For example, In the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid, the bookie offers a bet of 1.5. If the total number of goals after the end of the match is 2 or more, the player who bets on over will win. If the total number of goals is only 1 or no goals, the player who bets on under will win.
Over/under 1.75 goals
This type of bet is more complicated than the 1.5 goals bet. This bet is divided into two parts: one part is 1.5 and the other part is 2.
Over (Over 1.75): If the match has 3 or more goals, the player who bets on over will win the entire bet. If the match has exactly 2 goals, the player wins half the money.
Under (Under 1.75): If the match has 1 goal or less, the player who bets on under will win the entire bet. If the match has exactly 2 goals, the player loses half the bet.
For example, in the match between Manchester United and Chelsea, if the total number of goals is 2, the player who bets on Over will win half the bet, and the player who bets on Under will lose half the bet. If there are 3 or more goals, the player who bets on Over will win all, and the player who bets on Under will lose all.
Over/Under 2 goals
This is the most popular type of bet in football betting. With this bet, there are three possibilities:
Over (Over 2): If the match has 3 or more goals, the player who bets on Over will win the bet.
Under (Under 2): If the match has 1 goal or no goals, the player who bets on Under will win the bet.
If the match has exactly 2 goals, the player will get a refund, neither winning nor losing.
For example, in the match between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, there are a total of 2 goals, and the player who bets on Over or Under will get a refund.
Over/Under 2.75 Goals
The way to read the 2.75 odds is similar to the 1.75 odds, divided into two parts: one part is 2.5 and one part is 3.
Over (Over 2.75): If the match has 4 goals or more, the player who bets on Over will win the entire bet. If the match has exactly 3 goals, the player wins half the money.
Under (Under 2.75): If the match has 2 goals or fewer, the player who bets on Under will win the entire bet. If the match has exactly 3 goals, the player loses half the money.
For example, in the match between Arsenal and Tottenham, if the total number of goals is 3, the player who bets on Over will win half the money, and the player who bets on Under will lose half the money. If there are 4 goals or more, the player who bets on Over will win the entire bet, and the player who bets on Under will lose the entire bet.
Over/Under 3 Goals
This type of bet is similar to the 2 Goals bet, but requires a higher number of goals.
Over (Over 3): If the match has 4 goals or more, the player who bets on Over will win the bet.
Under (Under 3): If the match has 2 goals or fewer, the player who bets on Under will win the bet.
If the match has exactly 3 goals, the player will be refunded, neither winning nor losing.
For example, the match between PSG and Marseille ends with a total of 3 goals, the player who bets on Over or Under will be refunded.
