Homonym: Over/Under (Wagering)
The term "Over/Under" is commonly used in sports betting to refer to a wager on the total number of points, goals, or runs scored in a game. Bettors can place a bet on whether the actual score will be over or under a predetermined number set by bookmakers. For example, if the over/under for a basketball game is set at 200 points, a bettor can choose to wager on whether the combined score of both teams will exceed or fall short of that total.
In addition to sports, "Over/Under" can also apply to various events or situations, such as predicting attendance at a concert or the number of items sold during a sale. This betting format allows participants to engage in a fun and strategic way of forecasting outcomes, making it popular among fans and casual bettors alike.
