In sports betting, a “Total 1” or “Over 1.0 goals” means you are betting that the total number of goals scored in a match will exceed one. If exactly one goal is scored, the bet is a push, and your stake is refunded; if two or more goals are scored, you win.
Understanding Total 1 in Sports Betting
- Definition: A “Total 1” bet requires the combined score of both teams in a game to be greater than 1.0 goals. This type of bet is common in sports like soccer and ice hockey.
- Winning Conditions:
- If the final score is 2 or more goals, the bet wins.
- If the score is exactly 1 goal, it results in a push, and the bettor receives their stake back.
- If no goals are scored, the bet loses.
- Purpose of the Bet: Bettors typically place a Total 1 bet when they anticipate a game with multiple scoring opportunities, indicating a higher likelihood of goals being scored.
- Comparison with Other Totals:
- Similar bets exist for higher totals, such as “Over 2.5 goals,” which would require at least three goals to win.
- The odds for these bets can vary based on team performance, historical scoring data, and other factors.
- Market Variations: Different sportsbooks may offer varying odds for Total 1 bets, reflecting their assessment of the likelihood of scoring in a particular match.
