In an Over/Under bet, the sportsbook sets a specific total score for a game, and bettors can choose to wager on either side. For example, if the total is set at 45 points for a football game, you can bet on the “Over” if you think both teams will score more than 45 points combined or the “Under” if you think the total will be less than 45 points. This type of bet adds excitement as it keeps fans engaged with the game, regardless of which team wins or loses.
Over/Under Example
For instance, if a basketball game has an Over/Under line of 200 points, and the final score is 105 to 100, the total score is 205. Therefore, if you bet on the Over, you would win, as the actual total exceeds the line set by the sportsbook.
