In football betting, the "over/under" (often abbreviated as O/U) refers to a type of wager on the total number of points or goals scored in a game by both teams combined. This betting option is also known as the "totals" or "total points" bet.
1. **Over Bet:** If you place an "over" bet, you are predicting that the total combined score of both teams will be higher than a certain number set by the sportsbook.
2. **Under Bet:** Conversely, if you place an "under" bet, you are predicting that the total combined score will be lower than the set number.
For example, if the over/under for a football game is set at 2.5 goals, and you bet on the over, you win if the total number of goals scored by both teams is 3 or more. If you bet on the under, you win if the total goals scored are 2 or less.
The specific numbers for over/under bets can vary and may involve half-points to avoid a push (a tie). This type of bet adds an extra dimension to football betting, allowing you to wager on the overall scoring dynamics of a game rather than predicting the outcome of a specific team.
