An "over/under bet" is a type of wager commonly used in sports betting. In this bet, a sportsbook sets a predicted total score for a game, and bettors can choose whether the actual score will be over or under that number. For example, if the total is set at 50 points, you can bet on whether the combined score of both teams will exceed 50 (over) or fall short of it (under). These bets are popular because they allow bettors to focus on the overall performance of both teams rather than just the outcome of the game. They can be applied to various sports, including football, basketball, and hockey, making them versatile options for sports enthusiasts.
