How to Master Over/Under Betting

Over/Under betting is a popular approach to sports betting. Traditional betting focuses on which team will win the game and by how many points. On the other hand, Over/Under betting allows you to wager on the total number of points, runs, goals, assists, and other metrics.

This is a fun alternative to traditional betting. Plus, it can be incredibly fun for newcomers and experienced gamblers alike.

Read our in-depth guide to learn more about how Over/Under betting works and to prepare to place your first bet.

What is Over/Under Betting?

In its simplest form, Over/Under betting has you place a bet on the total score of a particular game. You’re betting on the total number of points that will be scored by both teams.

The Over/Under itself is provided by CryptoRush. If they set an Over/Under of 27.5 for a football game, they’re giving you the option to bet that the total score will be under or under 27.5. The Over/Under always has a decimal place. That’s because a score of 27 can be achieved. A score of 27.5 is impossible to score so it serves as a great reference point.

Here’s how it works in real life. Let’s say the Chiefs and Patriots are playing on Sunday. CryptoRush sets the Over/Under at 31.5 for Sunday’s game. You can bet “over,” which is wagering that the score will be 32 or higher. On the other hand, you can bet “under,” which is a wager that the score will be 31 or lower.

Payouts are simple. If you guessed correctly, you get the payout listed by the oddsmaker. If you guess wrong, you lose.

How to Place an Over/Under Bet

The first step to placing an Over/Under bet is to select a sport. Many of our American players focus on popular local sports like baseball, football, basketball, and college sports. International audiences, on the other hand, are more likely to place wagers on soccer, basketball, and tennis.

However, the recent Paris Olympics has increased interest in sports betting for other sports. It’s becoming more common to see large numbers of bets played on niche sports like badminton, table tennis, rugby, and others.

Once you’ve selected a sport, it’s time to choose an upcoming game. We recommend betting on a game less than 10 days away. That’s because the further out you bet, the more uncertainty plays a role. You can’t account for winning streaks, injuries, weather, and other factors that far out.

You should also pay attention to the “juice.” This is a number, often written as “-110,” which is the amount charged by the sportsbook. -110 is the most common juice for 50/50 wagers.

This juice is the fee charged by the sportsbook for their services and platform. So, if you place a $110 wager with a -110 juice, you’ll receive $100 in winnings. This is $200 total after getting back your initial wager.

Strategies for Over/Under Betting

The best strategy for Over/Under betting is thoroughly researching the teams before placing a bet. In particular, you should pay special attention to:

When you focus on these major factors, you’re able to make an informed decision and increase your odds of success.

We also encourage new players to focus on defenses over offenses. It’s tempting to look at two high-scoring teams and place an over bet because you expect them to rack up points. But, if those offensive juggernauts also have strong defenses it’s more likely that the game will be low-scoring.

You should also pay special attention to the weather for outdoor games. For example, heavy rain or snow in a football game is likely to cause a low-scoring game.

On the other hand, a cold front in New England when the Patriots are playing Miami will place the hot weather team at a major disadvantage. You can expect them to struggle on offense since they’re not used to the cold weather.

Finally, look at the rivalries between the two teams. Division rivalries are typically low-scoring affairs.

That’s because they’re filled with heavy tension and dislike for the other team. Coaches are going to create hard-hitting defensive game plans and players are likely to give just a little more to win. This makes scoring a single point a huge deal and is likely to lead to a low-scoring game.

Why Use Cryptocurrency for Over/Under Betting?

The number one benefit of cryptocurrency for over/under betting is the ability to remain anonymous online. CryptoRush takes your data privacy seriously. That’s why we allow you to remain anonymous on our platform at all times.

We’ll never ask for personal information and you can sign up with nothing more than an email address and your crypto wallet. This is a huge benefit for privacy-focused players who value their sensitive information and security.

In addition, cryptocurrencies provide you with peace of mind and transparency. When you transfer money with a bank or third-party processor, you’re putting your faith 100% behind another person. Cryptocurrency like Bitcoin is different. That’s because it uses the blockchain, which records every single transaction on a public ledger.

Finally, cryptocurrencies are just so much faster than traditional banking. With a wire transfer or third-party app, you may have to wait 1-3 days before your funds are available. Cryptocurrency transactions are available within minutes. This gives you the flexibility to quickly place bets without being slowed down by a bank.
