Answer 1

Usually the over/under refers to a number set by the betting agency. This set number could refer to many different things, but for this example we will say total points. Let’s say the over under is 40. You would wager your money on either over or under and this means the total points scored by both teams needs to equal greater or less than 40. If you bet over and the game’s final score is 27-14, you would win as the total score of both teams is 41. Over/under bets can be used in boxing matches for how many rounds the fight will last.
