An over\/under bet, sometimes referred to as a Total Bet, is made based on the total combined score of both teams at the end of a single contest. You can bet that either the final score will be over (O) or under (U) the total score set by the sports book. To determine the over\/under on a specific contest, look at the odds board for a number typically listed as something like 155 for a college basketball game, 8 for a baseball game or 47 for a football game.<\/p>\n
Additionally, an over\/under bet is accompanied by an odds line. Sometimes the odds are even, for example both are +100. Sometimes the odds line differs, and one team may have the over at -120 and the under at +100. The odds determine your payout if you win your bet.<\/p>\n
Over\/Under Bet example:<\/p>\n
The odds board shows a specific hockey game:O6 at -120U6 at +100<\/p>\n
If you chose to bet the over at -120, you would need to place a $120 bet to win $100 if the final score is 7 or more. If you win the bet, your payout will be the $100 win plus your original $120 bet for a total of $22O.<\/p>\n
If you chose to bet the under at +100, you would need to place a $100 bet to win $100 if the final score is less than 6. If you win the bet, your payout will be the $100 win plus your original bet for a total of $200. <\/p>\n
If the final score totals 6 exactly, its considered a push and your original bet is returned to you.<\/p>\n
