As punters have turned to alternative football betting markets, the over under 2.5 goals market has turned into one of the biggest out there. Many people will use this to bet on games, either as an accumulator betting on a number of different games together or as a one-off bet in a game they are watching live.
Most bookies offer 3 choices of total goals: 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5. But some offer a wider range of options, like 2, 2.25, 2.75, 3, 3.75 and so on, that are a bit harder to understand and that confuses a lot a people.
Total Goal Over 2
You win the bet if more than 2 goals are scored and lose it if only 1 or none goal is scored. If exactly 2 goals are scored the bet is refunded.
Examples:
0-0, 1-0 or 0-1: Lose
1-1, 2-0 or 0-2: Push (bet is refunded)
2-1, 1-2, 2-2 or any other higher score: Win
Total Goal Over 2.25
In this case, you are placing half a bet on over 2.0 and the other half on 2.5. If the total goal of the match is 2 goals, you lose half your original bet (the other half is a push). If the total is more than 2 goals you win the bet, and if it’s less than 2 goals you lose the bet.
Note: sometimes you’ll see O2,2½ which is the same as O2.25!
Examples:
0-0, 1-0 or 0-1: Lose
1-1, 2-0 or 0-2: Lose half your original bet
2-1, 1-2, 2-2 or any other higher score: Win
