What “Under 5” (Asian Over/Under) Means
- This is a total goals bet for the whole match (both teams combined).
- You are betting that fewer than 5 goals will be scored in the match.
- Because it’s Asian Over/Under, your stake can be refunded if exactly 5 goals are scored.
You win if: total goals = 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4.
Stake refunded if: total goals = 5.
You lose if: total goals = 6 or more.
Example with a Team
Let’s take Manchester City vs Brentford as an example:
- You bet ₦10,000 on Under 5 Asian Goals.
- Odds: 1.70
| Total Goals in Match | Outcome | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 0–4 goals | Win | e.g. 3–0, 2–2, 1–0 etc. |
| Exactly 5 goals | Refund | e.g. 4–1, 3–2 |
| 6 or more goals | Lose | e.g. 5–1, 4–3 |
So if man city beat Brentford 3–2 (total = 5), your stake is returned. If it ends 4–1 (also 5), stake back. But if it ends 5–1 (6 goals), you lose.
How It Differs from European “Under 5”
- Asian “Under 5” refunds your money if exactly 5 goals.
- European “Under 5” (sometimes called Under 5.0 but at European bookies) is the same, but if you take Under 5.5you’d win at 5 goals.
Betting Tips for “Under 5”
- Team Styles Matter
- Back “Under 5” in games where at least one team is defensive.
- For instance, Burnley vs Sheffield United is far less likely to hit 6+ goals than Manchester City vs Real Madrid.
- Look at Recent Goal Trends
- If both teams rarely score more than 2 each, “Under 5” is usually very safe.
- Example: Italian Serie A mid-table clashes often average under 3 goals.
- Check Lineups
- Missing star forwards → more likely to stay under 5.
- Full-strength attacking sides → be cautious.
- Weather & Pitch Conditions
- Heavy rain or poor pitch = fewer goals.
- High-tempo conditions = more goals.
- Use Live Betting
- If a game starts slow (0–0 at 30 minutes), “Under 5” may still be offered at a decent price.
Quick Checklist Before Betting “Under 5”
- Average goals per game of both teams
- Injuries to key attackers
- Competition type (Cup games can be wild)
- Motivation (end-of-season dead rubbers may be open)
