Over/Under 0.5 Goals Explained

Over/Under 0.5 Goals Betting Markets

Firstly, the over/under goals markets are popular betting markets that cover the total number of goals in a match (both teams). Over/under 0.5 goals is the lowest number you can bet on in these traditional markets, and the bets typically increase by one goal such as over/under 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, etc.

In the over/under goals markets, there is no possibility for a draw or refund, which is what the .5 decimal means. As a team cannot score half a goal, there is no possibility for a draw or refund on these bets, you either win or lose. One of the most popular goals markets for betting is the over/under 2.5 goals markets, as it is often priced around evens.
