Totals

Totals in betting refer to Over/Under bets, where you wager on whether the total number of points, goals, or other statistics in a game will be higher or lower than a set line determined by the bookmaker.

For example, in a football match, a bookmaker might set the total goals line at 2.5:

• Betting Over 2.5 wins if 3 or more goals are scored.
• Betting Under 2.5 wins if 2 or fewer goals are scored.

Totals are commonly used in football, basketball, and American sports like the NFL and MLB, covering markets such as:

• Total points/goals in a match
• Team totals (e.g., Team A Over/Under 1.5 goals)
• Player totals (e.g., Over/Under 2.5 shots on target)

Unlike match result bets, totals focus on the overall scoring outcome, making them a popular choice for bettors analyzing game tempo, offensive strength, and defensive performance.
