Point Totals
What is the points total (over/under)? Understanding points totals in sports betting.
Overview
The points total betting market has two sides: the over and the under. These bets prompt bettors to choose if there will be more or less than a projected number of total points. Note that the point projection is the sum of every team and individual that takes part in the event.
Determining Outcomes
If a bettor picks an NBA matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics to go over the total of 227.5 points, then the two teams must combine to score 228 or more points to win the bet. 227 or fewer points will result in a win for “under” bettors.
