If you're new to sports betting, the over/under is one of the easiest bets to understand. Also called a "total," it's a wager on whether the combined score of both teams will finish higher or lower than a number set by the sportsbook. You're not picking a winner — you're simply betting on scoring volume. For example, if an NFL total is set at 46.5, the Over wins with 47 or more points and the Under wins with 46 or fewer. The half-point guarantees a result every time. To learn the full mechanics, read our complete over/under betting explained guide, which covers odds, pushes, and examples across every major sport.
