When betting on sports, the most common types of wagers are spread, moneyline, and total. The last one is also known as over/under in sports betting. You only need to guess how little or how much scoring occurs between the two squads.
For instance, the sportsbook offers 3.5 over/under for a soccer match. You need to predict scores in soccer betting and wager whether the final total is over or under three goals. For a basketball game, the number for the total might be 150. Sportsbooks might have a total for a baseball game at 9.
A wager on under means you estimate that there will be less than the sportsbook’s total when you combine the points, runs, or goals of both teams. The opposite is for over, in which you think that the combined points, runs, or goals would be more than the sportsbook’s total.
