The Total Goals market is usually used interchangeably with Over/Under, but this is usually offered separately through sportsbooks. Sports bettors will usually be given the option to bet over or under the score of 2.5, while others offer 3.5.
SingaporePools odds for the Over/Under 2.5 market in an EPL match between Burnley and Watford.
The odds for Over/Under selections tend to be low mainly because bettors have a fair chance of winning when betting on either selection. A good strategy to try when betting on Over/Under is by checking if the participating teams are high scoring or not. In matches where both teams are high scoring, betting over 2.5 is good.
The 3.5 option is harder to win than the 2.5 one, mainly because soccer is a low-scoring sport and betting under 3.5 isn’t a sure way to win.
