How to bet the Over/Under?

The Over/Under (also known as the total) is one of the simplest and most popular wagers in sports betting.

Rather than picking a winner, you are betting on the combined number of points scored by both teams in a given game. Sportsbooks set a projected total for the game, and the bettor decides whether the final score will go over or under that number.

For example, the Over/Under for the Super Bowl between the Patriots and Seahawks is set at 45.5 points. If the two teams combine to score 46 or more points, then those who bet on the Over win their bet. If they fail to hit 46 points combined, the Under cashes.
