Over Under First Half
- Over / Under is a betting option on the total number of goals to be achieved in a sporting event. Players have two options. To choose Under 2.5 goals (no goal scoring, 1 goal, or 2 goals) or Over 2.5 goals (3 goals or more). The most common match totals goal line found on every online betting site.
- Since the Packers are the favorite in the first half their spread is (-3.5), while the underdog Bears are getting (+3.5). This means that at halftime the Packers have to be winning by at least 4 points or that bet will not cover. The Bears can be losing at halftime but if it is by more than 3.5 points that means a bet on the Bears will not cover.

AL20 – Away Team’s last 20 matches. AL10A – Away Team’s last 10 away matches. AL6 – Away Team’s last 6 matches. AVG – Average of all the above items. H2H No – Number of Head 2 Head matches (max last 8 meetings) H2H% – Percentage of matches finishing in the given outcome in the H2H meetings. An over–under or over/under (O/U) bet is a wager in which a sportsbook will predict a number for a statistic in a given game (usually the combined score of the two teams), and bettors wager that the actual number in the game will be either higher or lower than that number. For example, in Super Bowl XXXIX, most Las Vegas casinos set the over–under for the score of the game at 46.0.
Most bookies offer 3 choices of total goals: 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5. But some offer a wider range of options, like 2, 2.25, 2.75, 3, 3.75 and so on, that are a bit harder to understand and that confuses a lot a people.
Total Goal Over 2
You win the bet if more than 2 goals are scored and lose it if only 1 or none goal is scored. If exactly 2 goals are scored the bet is refunded.
Examples:
0-0, 1-0 or 0-1: Lose
1-1, 2-0 or 0-2: Push (bet is refunded)
2-1, 1-2, 2-2 or any other higher score: Win
Total Goal Over 2.25
