Over Under Betting Explained

As you progress in your journey as a football bettor, there will be times when you realize that betting the point spread is not the best wager to make on a game. Often times, stout defenses, poor weather and running-based offensive teams make Over Under betting the best option. [ Legal sportsbooks such as NFL betting partners FanDuel and Draft Kings also provide video tutorials of how to bet OVER UNDERs and lost those odds for every game ]

What is Over Under Betting in football?

When you bet over unders (all known as NFL totals betting), you don’t care about who wins – you only care about the number of points scored in the game. The football odds makers will set a ‘total’ that bettors must decide whether they think the final score will be OVER that number or UNDER that number. Take a peek at the example below in a fictional game between the Packers and Bears.

Green Bay Packers OV 46.5, -120

Chicago Bears UN 46.5, +100

In this case, the total is 46.5 points. Your job as a bettor is to bet UNDER 46.5 if you think the combined score will be 46 or less and to bet OVER if you think the combined score will 47 or higher. Imagine the final score is 31-17 for Green Bay – those 48 points are OVER 46.5 so your OVER bet is a winner. If the game is a defensive battle won 17-13 by the Bears, those 30 points are well UNDER 46.5 so you UNDER bet would win. The -120 and +100 values you will see on football betting menus relate to the ‘price’ of each bet. (You can read more about moneylines or to read up on football betting terminology as well here at NationalFootballPost.com). The -120 value on the OVER 46.5 indicates that OVER is the favored position at the sportsbook. Therefore, you have to risk a little more money to bet UNDER. If you are a $100 per game bettor, it means you would risk $120 (-120) in order to turn a $100 profit. Because the UNDER is the underdog position at the book, you risk a little less for the same payout. In this case, you would bet just $100 for the chance to make a $100 profit.

Which country is best in sports?

The 10 Most Athletic Countries in the World Athletic Rank Country Name Best Countries Overall Rank 1 Russia 24 2 Brazil 20 3 South Africa 31 4 Argentina 40 6 more rows •

Every two years, the countries of the world compete in the Olympic Games, a time to celebrate friendly rivalry and battle over which country breeds the most talented athletes. According to data from the 2016 Best Countries rankings – a characterization of 60 countries based on a survey of more than 16,000 people from four regions – Russia is the most "athletically talented" country in the world. The nation – home of tennis player Maria Sharapova and figure skater Evgeni Plushenko, to name a few – ranks second in all-time Olympic medals when combined with results from when it was part of the Soviet Union. In November, the country submitted to a full and indefinite ban from world athletics in the wake of a doping scandal, calling into question their athletes' eligibility for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio De Janeiro. Brazil, the host of those Olympic Games, is the second most athletically talented country, having won the most FIFA World Cup Championships to date. Below are the 10 countries perceived to be the most athletic, according to data from the 2016 Best Countries rankings.
