Over/under 1.5 goals is a popular betting strategy that covers the total number of goals in a match for both teams. The over/under 1.5 goals include a wide selection of over/under strategies like; 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, for example.

All of these over/under strategies have the .5 decimal so there is no possibility for a “push” or refund. A .5 represents a half point. In sports there are no half points, this strategy works because you eliminate the chance of betting the exact points and decrease the amount of draws or “pushes” when placing your bets. You either win or lose your bet.

Over 1.5 goals in a game means that 2 or more goals are required to win the bet. 0 or 1 goal means the bet has lost.

Betting under 1.5 goals must have 0 or 1 goal for you to win. 2 or more goals is a loss.

Using this strategy, you can limit your risk and increase your odds of having a positive outcome. Many people have better results by betting on the number of goals in a game, rather than choosing a team(money-line betting) to win the game.

This is a very straightforward concept to understand, and you can also use the over/under 1.5 goals strategy for predicting the number of goals scored for the individual team as well.

*How to use the over/under 1.5 goals strategy to your advantage:

There is a very good strategy that you can use to generate consistent profits. Once the game starts, every minute that a goal is not scored, the odds start increasing. The longer you wait to place the bet on the over/under 1.5 goals when the match is scoreless, the higher the return will potentially be.

When you are ready to place the bet for over 1.5 goals, you hold onto this position until a goal is scored, when the odds of over 1.5 goals will significantly drop, usually to around 1.50. You can now trade this bet to make an easy profit.

Most betting professionals will wait until the 46th to 55th minute to place the initial bet if no goal has been scored. (credited to bookmakers.net website)*
