Sports Betting: Total

We explain what a total is, how it works, and how to use it correctly in betting.


🧐 What Is a Total and How Does It Work?

Total (Under/Over) is a bet on the total number of certain in-game statistics in a match or a specific part of it (half, period, set, etc.).

When choosing Under (U) the selected statistic must be lower than the set value.

When choosing Over (O) it must be higher than the set value.


⚽ Let's look at an example from football:

FC Fakel Voronezh - Dynamo Moscow

In this match, we can choose between two types of totals: match and team totals.

Match total:

For example, we choose Over 2.5 - this means that both teams must score a total of 3 or more goals in the match for the bet to win.

If we choose Under 2.5, the total number of goals must be 2 or fewer.

Team total:

We can also look at a team total. For example, we're confident that Dynamo Moscow will score at least one goal. In that case, we choose Dynamo Moscow team total Over 0.5 (Team Over 0.5).

💡 If you bet on a whole-number total, such as Over 2 or Under 2, your stake will be refunded if the exact total is reached.


🎮 How to Use Totals in Esports Betting?

Let's say we've found an interesting esports match FURIA Esports - Legacy. We're not sure who will win, but we think the match won't end 2:0 in favor of either team. In this case, we can bet on Over 2.5 maps.

First, select the match and go to the "Total" section

Select Maps Total Over 2.5


Now all that's left is to enjoy the match and cheer for both teams. Either team can win—as long as it's not a clean sweep! 😅

💡 Totals can vary depending on the sport or discipline.

For example, in esports, you can bet on the match duration or number of kills in DOTA 2. Other sports offer separate totals for halves, periods, sets, and other parts of a game.

The main thing to remember: a total is a bet on whether a selected in-game statistic will be higher or lower than a set value. This could be goals, points, kills, match duration, or other statistics.
