Goal line betting or over/under betting is a simple type of betting where the wager is placed on the total ๐น amount of goals scored without having to decide which team wins or loses. Goal line betting, although commonly used in ๐น football, can be applied to a lot of sports such as basketball, hockey, rugby and cricket.
How does goal line betting ๐น work?
Goal line betting works by taking the amount of goals expected in the match (which is usually 2.5) and allowing ๐น you to wager on whether the games total score will be above or below said amount. There are however a ๐น variety of options such as 0.5 which would be betting on either team not scoring at all or 1.5, or ๐น 3.5 or even higher, there is no reason for a maximum but in practice bookmakers wont go above 8.5. The ๐น odds will depend on the teams playing and how likely it is perceived that there will be goals. For example ๐น the bet below shows a variety of different options from 0.5 goals to 8.5 goals with all of the different ๐น odds. Note it is seen as so likely that Under 6.5 goals will be scored, the bookmaker will not accept ๐น bets on these outcomes.
