Totals wagers are more commonly referred to as an Over/Under bet. The name of the wager is interchangeable and both are used in sportsbooks and in the media. A totals bet is one of the easiest and most popular bets to make in the sportsbook. The only more popular bet is picking winners. Betting totals are available for most major professional sports such as football, basketball, baseball, and hockey.
Buffalo Bills vs Kansas City Chiefs odds, line, over/under and predictions for. Even though Totals and Over/Under may be used interchangeably for scoring, there’s another way to make Over/Under bets. An Over/Under bet can also be a proposition bet where there’s a wager made on a specific occurrence. A boxing match is a good example since scoring isn’t quite the same as the major sports: Floyd Mayweather vs. The fight will last 9.5 rounds.
In most cases, when wagering on a total the bettor is simply choosing whether the total number of points scored by both teams will be over or under the listed total of points to be scored. That’s it. The winner and loser of the game don’t matter in a totals bet. The only thing that matters with this kind of bet is the number of points (runs, goals, etc.) scored.
Before a game begins betting over or under the total points scored is usually a -110 wager. Bettors will wager $110 to win $100 for a pre-game totals bet. If bettors wager a lot more on one side of the total, the moneyline might change before the actual point total moves. At a certain point, the sportsbook will reset the total and the moneyline will move back to -110.
Here’s an example from this past Super Bowl as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, 31-9.
- The over/under, or total, for this game was 54.4 points. Bettors who wagered on the Over needed the total score to be 55 points or higher. Anything 54 points and below would have been a winner for Under bettors.
- With the Bucs having scored 31 points and the Chiefs having scored just 9 points, the total wound up being 40 points – well below the set over/under of 54.4 and a win for Under bettors.
- If the total of this game was 54.0 points and the final score added up to exactly 54 points (38-16, for example) the bet would be a “push” and bets would be refunded.
Like all kinds of sports betting options, totals bets have expanded. Betting a total is no longer only available for pre-game bets. There may be totals available for partial games (quarters or periods), individual teams, and during in-play and live wagering. A partial game total might be a wager on how many points will be scored in a certain time period. Meanwhile, in-play bets could just be an adjusted total for the entire game.

- Over (-110)
- Under (-110)
Floyd Mayweather defeated Conor McGregor by technical knockout in the 10th round and over bettors won this wager. Had either fighter won the match earlier the under would have cashed since the result would have happened in the ninth round or sooner.

Today there are Over/Under bets available for a number of sports beyond the major North American sports. Fights often have how many rounds will be complete while auto racing might have the number of laps finished by a driver. The possibilities for Over/Under wagers are prop bets are seemingly only limited by the imagination. Sportsbook operators continue to expand their betting menu with unique bets that include new Totals and Over/Under options.

Advice and prediction
This is a good spot for the Thunder with Davis out, as 10.5 is a big line to be laying for the Lakers. These teams have met once this season, and the Lakers cruised to a 29-point victory on the road. But LA was fully healthy in that game while the Thunder were missing Horford. With the Lakers two days removed from a double-overtime win over the Pistons, I like the Thunder to lose… but keep things relatively close. Take the Thunder plus-10.5.
I also like the over 219.5 here. The under has been the smart bet on the Lakers all season, but they will not have Davis protecting the paint, and the Thunder just scored a franchise-record 82 points in a half against the Timberwolves on Saturday. The first meeting between these two teams also easily went past 219.5.
Prediction: Lakers 125, Thunder 116
