Is it better to bet over or under NFL?

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.

What does over 4.5 mean in football?

Over 4.5 goals in a bet means the punter predicts that the total goals scored by both teams are five or more. A player that places an over 4.5 goals bet in our example will win if both teams score a total of five or more goals.

The over and Under goals betting market has become a popular favorite for many punters. However, many can’t tell what it means to bet over/under in a match. But worry no more because you’re about to find out. Betting over/under on a game means you predict that the total goals scored by both teams are more or less than the specified number of goals on the bet. If a bookmaker indicates in a match, say Chelsea Vs. Liverpool, a bet that looks like this

Over 4.5 Goals, 1.34

Under 4.5 Goals, 2.33

Then betting on either option means the match would end with a total number of five goals and above or four or fewer goals. Let’s explain both scenarios.

Over 4.5 Goals Explained

Over 4.5 goals in a bet means the punter predicts that the total goals scored by both teams are five or more. A player that places an over 4.5 goals bet in our example will win if both teams score a total of five or more goals. Remember that the bet only wins if the matches don’t draw.

Under 4.5 Goals Explained

The other betting option is under 4.5 goals. Here, the player bets that both teams would have scored a total of 4 or fewer goals at the final score. Suppose he was betting on Chelsea Vs. Liverpool. Both teams should have four or fewer goals. Also, a bettor would lose the bet if the match ends in a draw.
