In betting, over/under (or totals betting) involves predicting whether the combined score of both teams will be higher (over) or lower (under) than a number set by the sportsbook.
For example, at Betrivers Sportsbook, an NBA game total might be set at 225.5 points:
- Bet Over 225.5: You win if the total score is 226 or more (e.g., 116-110, total 226).
- Bet Under 225.5: You win if the combined score is 225 or less (e.g., 110-105, total 215).
Over/under bets keep games exciting, even if you’re not rooting for one team to win outright. View the best sportsbook bonus bets to use today.
