In sports betting, the term “over/under” refers to a wager where you predict whether the total combined score of two teams in a game will be higher or lower than a set number. This number is established by oddsmakers and is called the “line.”
How It Works
- Over: You bet that the total score will be higher than the line.
- Under: You bet that the total score will be lower than the line.
Example
If a basketball game’s over/under line is 200 points:
- Betting “over” means you expect the combined score to be more than 200.
- Betting “under” means you expect it to be less than 200.
Understanding “over/under” betting can add excitement to your sports viewing experience.
