“Total Even” in Field Hockey Sports Betting refers to a bet on whether the total number of goals scored by both teams in a match will be an even number (e.g. 0, 2, 4, 6…).
Explanation:
You’re not betting on who wins, but rather on the sum of goals scored in the entire match being an even number.
Examples:
Example 1:
- Match: Netherlands vs Germany
- Final Score: 3–3
- Total Goals: 3 + 3 = 6 ( Even)
- “Total Even” bet wins
Example 2:
- Match: Argentina vs India
- Final Score: 2–1
- Total Goals: 2 + 1 = 3 ( Odd)
- “Total Even” bet loses
Important Notes:
- Extra time and penalties do not count, unless stated.
- Some sportsbooks include own goals as part of total goals.
- Be sure to check the market name — sometimes it’s listed as “Total Goals – Even/Odd”.
Betting Tips:
- Check team styles:
- Defensive teams = lower scoring, better chance for 0, 2, or 4 goals → more likely even.
- Attacking teams = unpredictable totals → riskier.
- Review past H2H stats:
- If recent games between teams ended with 2, 4, or 6 goals, “Even” might be favorable.
- Goal difference awareness:
- Matches with clear favorites may end in blowouts like 4–0, 6–1 — high totals but still even.
- Low-risk add-on for accumulators:
- “Total Even” is often used as a filler bet with decent odds (1.85–1.95) in multis.
- Watch the weather & pitch conditions:
- Bad weather = fewer goals = more chance of a 2–0, 1–1 → “Even”.
When to Bet on Total Even:
- Two defensive teams playing
- Recent head-to-heads show many draws or equal scoring
- You want a neutral bet (not tied to team result)
