What Is Individual Total Even in Football Betting?
Individual Total Even (or Team Total Even) is a bet on whether a specific team’s total number of goals scored in a match will be an even number — i.e. 0, 2, 4, 6, etc.
You are not betting on the full match score — only on one team’s total goals.
How It Works
You’ll often see it listed as:
- Team 1 Total – Even/Odd
- Team 2 Total – Even/Odd
- Or [Team Name] Total Goals – Even
When you pick “Even”, you’re predicting that the chosen team will score an even number of goals (0, 2, 4, 6…).
If they score an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7…), your bet loses.
Example 1: Manchester City vs Chelsea
Bet type: Manchester City Total Goals – Even
| Scenario | Man City Score | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Man City 0–0 Chelsea | 0 goals (Even) | Win |
| Man City 2–1 Chelsea | 2 goals (Even) | Win |
| Man City 3–1 Chelsea | 3 goals (Odd) | Lose |
| Man City 4–0 Chelsea | 4 goals (Even) | Win |
| Man City 1–2 Chelsea | 1 goal (Odd) | Lose |
So in this bet, only Manchester City’s total matters — Chelsea’s score is irrelevant.
Example 2: Arsenal vs Liverpool
Bet type: Liverpool Total Goals – Even
| Scenario | Liverpool Score | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Arsenal 2–0 Liverpool | 0 goals (Even) | Win |
| Arsenal 1–2 Liverpool | 2 goals (Even) | Win |
| Arsenal 2–3 Liverpool | 3 goals (Odd) | Lose |
| Arsenal 3–3 Liverpool | 3 goals (Odd) | Lose |
| Arsenal 1–4 Liverpool | 4 goals (Even) | Win |
Betting Insights
- Even = 0, 2, 4, 6…
- Odd = 1, 3, 5, 7…
- A 0–0 result counts as Even, since 0 is an even number.
Betting Tips for Individual Total Even
- Study Team Scoring Patterns
- Some teams tend to score multiple goals per match (like Man City, Bayern, or Real Madrid).
These teams often hit 2 or 4 goals, favoring “Even.”
- Some teams tend to score multiple goals per match (like Man City, Bayern, or Real Madrid).
- Consider Defensive Teams
- Defensive or inconsistent-scoring teams often score 1 or 3 goals, favoring “Odd.”
- So, betting “Even” may be riskier against strong defenses.
- Use Head-to-Head Stats
- Check past meetings between the two teams.
Example: If 4 of their last 5 meetings ended with one team scoring 2 or 4 goals, that’s a good “Even” pattern.
- Check past meetings between the two teams.
- Look at Home vs Away Form
- Some clubs score more goals at home, increasing chances of 2+ (Even) results.
- Example: “Liverpool at Anfield” often score 2+ goals → Even bets more likely to win.
- Avoid Random Guessing
- The odds are usually around 1.90–2.00, so it’s a 50/50 market.
