What “Over 1” (Asian Goals) Means
- Market Name: Asian Over/Under Goals
- Selection: Over 1
You’re betting on the total number of goals in the match, but with an Asian line of exactly 1 goal.
Here’s how it settles:
| Final Score | Total Goals | Outcome for Over 1 bet |
|---|---|---|
| 0–0 | 0 | Lose (under 1) |
| 1–0 / 0–1 | 1 | Push (stake refunded) |
| 2–0 / 1–1 / 3–0 / etc. | 2+ | Win (over 1) |
- If the match finishes with 0 goals = you lose.
- If the match finishes with exactly 1 goal = your stake is refunded.
- If the match finishes with 2 or more goals = you win.
This is different from the “Over 1.5 Goals” market (which requires 2+ goals to win with no refund possibility).
Example with a Team
Let’s use Manchester City vs Burnley as an example.
- You bet: Over 1 goals (Asian).
- Your stake: ₦10,000 at 1.30 odds.
Possible outcomes:
- Score ends 0–0: Total goals = 0 → You lose ₦10,000.
- Score ends 1–0 or 0–1: Total goals = 1 → ➗ Stake refunded, ₦10,000 back.
- Score ends 2–0, 1–1, 3–1 etc.: Total goals ≥2 → Win ₦3,000 profit (₦10,000 × 1.30 = ₦13,000 return).
This line is good if you’re confident there will be at least one goal, but you want a safety net if the game only produces one goal.
Why Bettors Use “Over 1”
- Lower risk than “Over 1.5” because one goal = refund, not loss.
- Good for matches where you expect at least one goal but aren’t sure about a big scoreline.
- Ideal for accumulators: it’s less likely to lose outright.
Betting Tips for “Over 1”
Here’s how to approach this market smartly:
1. Research the Teams
Look for teams that score regularly or have leaky defenses.
Example: Manchester City (high scoring) vs Burnley (tend to concede).
2. Check Recent Form & Lineups
If both teams’ strikers or key attackers are missing, goal potential drops. If both are at full strength, over goals becomes stronger.
3. Consider the Competition
Cup games or friendlies can be open, while relegation battles may be tighter. Adjust accordingly.
4. In-Play Option
If the first 10–15 minutes show high attacking intent, odds on Over 1 may rise slightly in-play — giving you better value.
5. Use for Bankroll Protection
Because a 1–0 result gives you a refund, this market is safer than over 1.5, especially in a multiple bet.
Quick Recap Table
| Market | You Win | You Push (Refund) | You Lose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Over 1 (Asian) | 2+ goals | Exactly 1 goal | 0 goals |
| Over 1.5 (Standard) | 2+ goals | – | 0–1 goal |
