What is Over/Under in Betting?
If 1X2 is the king of all bets, then over/under betting is the prince.
Perhaps the world’s second most popular betting option, over/under betting, has been around for decades.
It was one of the first betting markets other than the game’s outcome bet that was ever launched.
It was created in an era in which casual punters were looking for ways to enrich their slips, add some extra interest to games with strong favorites, and increase profit opportunities.

What Does It Mean to Bet the Over or the Under?
Will FC Barcelona and Real Madrid score over three goals at this year’s El Clásico in Madrid? Or do you think that this will be a closed game?
Are you certain that Cristiano Ronaldo will finish the season in Saudi Arabia, scoring under 30 goals, which is the line for his total goals in the Arabian Football League season?
Or will the Celtics score under 60 points during the first half of the NBA season-opening game?
All the above are prime examples of betting over or under. The bookies, like Probet42, understand their popularity and ensure punters find hundreds of over/under betting options daily.

There are tools on the internet that will help you calculate the real odds of a game and avoid cases where the house edge is too high.

Over/Under Betting Strategies
Many factors can influence whether to bet the over or the under in a sports event. Some of the main ones are:
Performance and historical data – how do the 1 and 2 matchup head-to-head, in previous games against other opponents? Also what trends can be taken from each to identify statistical patterns?
Location and weather conditions – is the game played outdoors or indoors? Wind, rain and extreme temperatures can also have a huge impact on the potential outcome of a game.
Player injuries and team chemistry – Is a key player in attack or defense going to miss the game? If so this can have a huge impact on the potential for a team to score, or make it more likely they will concede. Recent changes in coaching can also have a positive or negative impact on a team's ability to score or prevent another team from scoring
Value opportunities – Factoring in the context of a game, or monitoring betting lines and trends among the public can lead to finding an advantageous line as bookmakers adjust the line to balance the betting.
