What is Asian Team Total in Football Betting?
Asian Team Total is a type of Over/Under bet, but instead of betting on the total goals in the match, you’re betting on how many goals one specific team will score.
- The bookmaker sets a line (e.g., Over 1.5 goals for Liverpool)
- You decide whether that team will score over or under the given number of goals.
- Asian Team Totals also include quarter and half lines (like 0.5, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0, etc.), which can result in wins, half-wins, half-losses, or refunds.
Example with a Team
Let’s take Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest.
Asian Team Total Lines for Man City:
- Over 1.5 @ 1.45
- Over 2.0 @ 1.80
- Over 2.25 @ 2.00
- Under 2.5 @ 1.75
Here’s what each means:
- Over 1.5 Man City goals
- You win if Man City scores 2+ goals.
- Example: Man City 3-1 Nottingham → bet wins.
- Over 2.0 Man City goals
- If City scores exactly 2 → Stake refunded.
- If they score 3+ → Full win.
- If they score 0 or 1 → Lose.
- Over 2.25 Man City goals
- This is a split bet: half stake on Over 2.0 and half on Over 2.5.
- If City scores 2 → Half refunded, half lost.
- If they score 3+ → Full win.
- If they score 0–1 → Full loss.
- Under 2.5 Man City goals
- You win if City scores 2 or fewer.
- Example: City 2-0 Forest → Win.
- If City scores 3+ → Lose.
Practical Examples with Realistic Teams
- Liverpool Over 1.5 Team Total vs Luton → Liverpool has strong attacking power, and Luton concedes a lot, so betting Over 1.5 is safer.
- Arsenal Under 2.5 Team Total vs Man City → Against top defenses, Arsenal might struggle, so Under bets have value.
- Bayern Munich Over 2.25 Team Total vs Bochum → Bayern often scores 3+ at home, so a high line can still be profitable.
Betting Tips
- Study team form & attack power
- Example: Man City at home usually scores 2+ goals, so backing Over 1.5 is safer.
- Check opponent’s defense
- Teams like Sheffield United concede many goals, making Overs more attractive.
- Use Asian lines smartly
- If unsure, use Over 2.0 instead of Over 2.5. This way, if the team scores exactly 2, you get your money back.
- Look for motivation
- End-of-season matches (title fights, relegation battles) often lead to more goals.
- Avoid blind betting on big teams
- Even big clubs (Real Madrid, PSG) sometimes win 1-0, especially in tough away matches.
