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