Over/Under Goals Betting Strategy​

Understanding the Half-Goal Concept

All over/under lines use .5 increments (0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5) to avoid pushes (ties that refund bets).

Example:

• Over 2.5 goals = 3 or MORE goals (winning outcomes: 3, 4, 5, etc.)
• NOT Over 2 = which would include 2 goals (a push outcome)

How to Calculate Over/Under:

Simple formula: Add up total goals from BOTH teams

Match Result	Total Goals	Over 1.5?	Over 2.5?
0-0	0	❌ No	❌ No
1-0	1	❌ No	❌ No
1-1	2	✅ YES	❌ No
2-1	3	✅ YES	✅ YES
2-2	4	✅ YES	✅ YES
3-3	6	✅ YES	✅ YES

Betting Strategy Tips:​

1. Research team averages:
   • How many goals does each team score/concede per match?
   • High-scoring teams favor Over bets
   • Defensive teams favor Under bets
2. Check match importance:
   • Cup finals = lower scoring (defensive play)
   • Regular season = higher scoring
   • Eliminations = more cautious
3. Monitor odds movement:
   • If odds shift toward Under, suggests low-scoring is expected
   • Sharp bettors often move odds toward actual probability
4. Use historical data:
   • Previous 5 matches between teams
   • Recent home/away records
   • Seasonal trends

Step 4: Understanding Odds and Making Your First Bet

Decimal Odds Explained​

FairPlay uses decimal odds (most common in India and Europe).

Formula: Total payout = (Odds × Bet Amount)

Examples:

Example 1: Match Odds

• Odds: 1.66 for Ghazl El Mahallah
• Your bet: ₹1,000
• If team wins: ₹1,660 returned (₹1,000 stake + ₹660 profit)

Example 2: Over 0.5 Goals

• Odds: 1.43
• Your bet: ₹500
• If over hits: ₹715 returned (₹500 stake + ₹215 profit)

Example 3: High Odds Underdog

• Odds: 15.5 for Ceramica Cleopatra
• Your bet: ₹200
• If team wins: ₹3,100 returned (₹200 stake + ₹2,900 profit)

Implied Probability​

What odds really mean in terms of win percentage:

Formula: Implied Probability (%) = (1 / Odds) × 100

Examples:

• Odds 1.66 = (1 / 1.66) × 100 = 60% chance (favorite)
• Odds 2.72 = (1 / 2.72) × 100 = 37% chance (draw)
• Odds 15.5 = (1 / 15.5) × 100 = 6% chance (underdog)

What this tells you:

• Lower odds = higher probability = safer bets = lower payouts
• Higher odds = lower probability = riskier bets = bigger payouts
• The bookmaker builds in ~5-10% profit margin (called “juice” or “vig”)​

Football Betting Strategies for Winning

Strategy 1: Research Team Statistics​

Before betting, check:

• Expected Goals (xG): How many goals a team should score based on chances
• Defensive record: How many goals conceded per match
• Recent form: Last 5 match results
• Head-to-head history: Previous meetings between teams
• Home/Away records: Performance at home vs away

Example:

• Team A: Average 2.4 goals per match → favors Over bets
• Team B: Average 1.1 goals per match → favors Under bets

Strategy 2: Monitor Odds Movement​

Odds change throughout the day:

• Before toss/lineup announcement: Initial odds based on form
• After team news: Odds adjust if star player is injured
• During match: Odds shift dramatically based on match events
• Live betting: Best opportunities appear in first 15 minutes

Smart approach: Wait for initial match developments, see which team dominates, then make your bet with more information.

Strategy 3: Use Multiple Markets

Don’t just bet on “who wins”:

• Match Odds: Simple 1X2 (home/draw/away)
• Over/Under: Total goals across both teams
• Goal markets: Specific run ranges
• Half-time/full-time: Different stages of match

Advantage: Diversification reduces risk and spreads potential returns.

Strategy 4: Bankroll Management

Golden rule: Never bet more than 5% of total balance on single bet.​

Example:

• Your balance: ₹10,000
• Max bet per game: ₹500 (5% of balance)
• If you lose: Still have ₹9,500 to bet with
• Protects you from going broke with bad streak

Strategy 5: Focus on Value Bets​

Don’t just look at odds—look for value.

Value betting formula: Compare your probability estimate vs bookmaker’s implied probability

Example:

• You estimate: 65% chance Over 2.5 Goals hits
• Bookmaker implies: 52% (from 1.92 odds: 1/1.92 = 0.52)
• Difference: 13% value advantage → Bet this!

Strategy 6: Avoid Common Mistakes

• Don’t bet on just one outcome (diversify)
• Don’t chase losses with bigger bets
• Don’t bet when emotionally invested in a team
• Don’t ignore defensive injuries
• Don’t bet without researching recent form

Important Rules: Don’t Miss These

What You CAN Do:

• Place unlimited bets during the match
• Bet on multiple markets simultaneously
• Use live in-play betting (bet during matches)
• Withdraw winnings 24/7 (processed in 40 mins-2 hours)
• Bet on all football formats and leagues
• Use multiple betting strategies across different matches
• Change bets before match starts (cancel and place new)

What You CANNOT Do:

• Bet without deposit: You must have money in your account
• No match-fixing: Attempting to influence match outcome (serious crime)
• No bots: Automated betting tools violate terms
• No shared accounts: Multiple people betting from same account = suspension
• No multi-accounting: Creating multiple accounts to exploit bonuses = ban
• No unusual patterns: Suspicious betting activity triggers review
• No cheating: Using insider information to bet on match results
