Many players like
to place bets on what the total points scored
in a game will be, irrespective of who wins or
who loses. This is called Totals, or over/under
betting.
Over
+48.0
-110
Under
+48.0
-110
In the above example, the oddsmaker has decided
that the total points scored in a given game will
be forty-eight points. If a bettor thinks there
will be more than 48 points scored in the game,
he or she bets the Over. If a bettor thinks that
the there will be less than 48 points scored in
the game, he or she bets the under. If the total
is exactly 48 points, then the bet is deemed a
push. All bets are voided and the stakes returned
in this instance.
The second number, -110, after each team is the
price of a winning bet. A winning bettor will
win $100 for every $110 bet.
More About Totals Betting
The combined score of both teams for games wagered
on, all totals lay $1.10 to win $1.00 unless it
is otherwise indicated.
Example
The player lays $220.00 on the OVER in the Miami/Buffalo
game. The total for the game is 45. If both teams'
combined score is more than 45 than the player would
win $200.00. If the combined score is equal to 45
the game is considered"no action" and
the money is returned. If the combined score is
less than 45 then the wager is lost.
Placing a Wager
Click on the small box beside either the "Over"
or the "Under" and that will be your wager.
You can only choose one total wager per bet.
