How to bet total

The total  (some people call it the over/under) bet is a sports betting wager that let's you bet on the total amount of points scored in the game.

Let's say that in a baseball game the total is set at 7. That means that the sportsbook in the casino or online thinks the score is going to be 4 to 3.
So if you bet the over you think that the baseball teams playing will score over seven runs. If they score eight or more runs you will win this bet because you placed a bet on the over.

If the teams scores six or less you lose. If they score seven its a tie and you get your bet refunded. 

Now the teams have to score either a combination of runs or one team can score all of the runs.

For example let's say you place an over bet on the Denver Rockies vs Chicago Skyscrapers game. The total is set at 9. If Denver scores seven runs and Chicago scores four you win your over bet.

If Denver scores ten runs and Chicago scores zero runs you will win your bet because the total is still over 9.

Now the under is a sports betting wager that let's you bet that the total is going to be under a certain number of points scored.

Lets say you bet on the same game this time on the under. The total is set at 9. Chicago scores three runs and Denver scores one. You win this bet because the total of runs scored in this game is under 9. If Chicago scores five runs and Denver scores zero. You would still win this bet because the total is under 9.

Now if Chicago scores eight runs and Denver scores six you lose this bet because the total runs of the game was over 9.

If Denver scores five runs and Chicago scores four it would be a push or tie and your bet will be refunded.

If there is a total like 9.5 this just means that the total cant end up as a push. So you can only win this bet if the total amount of runs scored in the game is ten or higher if you bet the over. And the total amount of runs scored is nine or lower if you bet the under.

April, 11 2021 MLB Washington Nationals @ LA Dodgers

 The LA Dodgers will face off against the Washington Nationals from Dodgers Stadium on Sunday. The Dodgers are looking to keep up the momentum in this series and possibly complete a sweep. The Dodgers are 7-2 this season and the Nationals are 1-4. The first game of the series the Dodgers were able to win the game 1 - 0.  Saturday it was a little bit more action as the Nationals shook off the delayed start funk. Juan Soto homered twice and Ryan Zimmermann got three hits. But it still wasn't enough the Dodgers beat the Nationals 9-5. The LA Dodgers moneyline is at - 186 which isn't too bad. Bet on the moneyline but if the moneyline is too high for you the runline is another bet to consider. Now if you bet online you can adjust the runline to either -1.0 or -2.0. Both spreads are good because you have an option of a push.  Don't have any suggestions on the O/U. However you use this website as education to come up with your on system or strategy or for entertainment purposes. G

March 11, 2021 NHL New Jersey Devils @ New York Islanders

The New York Islanders versus the New Jersey Devils from the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The New York Islanders are on a Six game win streak with New York's last win being decided in Overtime against the Bruins. I have three predictions for this game. You can bet on the New York Islanders Puckline at -1.5. You can pick over 1.5 first period goals. Or bet the total over 5.5 goals. Some sportsbooks have the puckline at -1.0. So if the Islander win by one goal you get your money-back. Good luck.
