What does total over mean on 1xbet?

"Total over" or "over/under" betting is a popular bet type offered by most sportsbooks, including 1xbet. It involves predicting whether the total points scored in a game will be over or under a set line predetermined by the sportsbook.

What is a total over/under bet?

A total over/under bet, often shortened to total bet or simply over/under, is a wager placed on the combined points scored by both teams in a game. The sportsbook sets a line, for example 42 points in an NFL game, known as the total. Bettors then predict if the final points scored will be over or under this total.

If you bet over 42 points, you are betting that the total points scored by both teams will exceed 42. If you bet under 42 points, you are betting the final score will be under 42 points.

Common total over/under lines offered by 1xbet

Some common over/under lines offered by 1xbet include:

• 0.5 – Used for very low scoring sports like soccer. You predict if there will be 1 or more goals (over 0.5) or no goals (under 0.5).
• 1 – Again common in soccer to bet on 1 or more goals (over 1) or no goals (under 1).
• 1.5 – A popular soccer line to bet on 2 or more goals (over 1.5) or 0-1 goals (under 1.5).
• 2 – Used across sports to bet over or under 2 points/runs/goals.
• 2.5 – One of the most popular over/under lines across sports.
• 3, 3.5 – Used in high-scoring sports like football, basketball and hockey.
• 5.5, 6.5 – Seen in very high-scoring sports like basketball.

The lines are set by 1xbet oddsmakers after analyzing stats, injuries, weather forecasts and other factors that may impact scoring.

Examples of total over/under bets on 1xbet

Here are some examples of total over/under bets on 1xbet:

• NBA game: Total set at 220 points

  • Over 220 wins if combined score is 221 points or more
  • Under 220 wins if combined score is 219 points or fewer

• NFL game: Total set at 42 points

  • Over 42 wins if combined score is 43 points or more
  • Under 42 wins if combined score is 41 points or fewer

• Soccer game: Total set at 2.5 goals

  • Over 2.5 wins if 3 or more goals are scored
  • Under 2.5 wins if there are 0, 1 or 2 goals

• Hockey game: Total set at 6.5 goals

  • Over 6.5 wins if 7 or more goals are scored
  • Under 6.5 wins if 6 or fewer goals are scored

What does over 2.5 or under 2.5 mean?

• Over 2.5 means there must be 3 or more goals scored for this bet to win.

• Under 2.5 means there must be 2 or fewer goals scored for this bet to win.

So if you bet over 2.5 goals, your bet wins if 3 or more total goals are scored. If the final score is 2-0, 1-1 or 0-0, an under 2.5 bet wins.

This is one of the most popular total lines offered across soccer, hockey, basketball and other sports on 1xbet.

How total over/under odds work on 1xbet

Bookmakers offer odds for both the over and under bets. These reflect the implied probability for each outcome.

For example:

Over 2.5 goals – 1.75
Under 2.5 goals – 2.10

The over odds of 1.75 mean if you bet $100, you would win $175 if over 2.5 goals occurs. The underdog has higher 2.10 odds.

When reviewing odds, focus on the over/under with the higher odds for the best value. The higher odds reflect the outcome deemed less likely by 1xbet.
