Over 75.5 in Table Tennis Sports Betting Explained
In table tennis betting, the term “Over 75.5” refers to a total points market — that is, you’re betting on the total number of points scored by both players combined in a match to be more than 75.5 points.
Meaning of Over 75.5
- You are predicting that the combined total points in all sets of the match will exceed 75.5.
- The “.5” prevents a tie or push.
- If the total points end at 76 or more, your bet wins.
- If the total is 75 or fewer, your bet loses.
Example: Understanding Over 75.5
Let’s use a real-style example with two players:
Example Match:
Fan Zhendong vs Tomokazu Harimoto
| Set | Score | Total Points |
|---|---|---|
| Set 1 | 11–9 | 20 |
| Set 2 | 9–11 | 20 |
| Set 3 | 11–8 | 19 |
| Set 4 | 7–11 | 18 |
| Total Points | 77 |
Result: Total = 77 points, which is Over 75.5, so the Over 75.5 bet wins.
If the total had been 75 or less, for example 74 or 75 points total, the bet would have lost.
When to Bet on Over 75.5
You should consider betting Over 75.5 when:
- Both players are evenly matched — matches often go to 5 full sets.
- Defensive players (who play long rallies) are involved.
- Close head-to-head history — previous matches between them often go the distance.
- Tournament finals or semi-finals, where both players play cautiously and fight for every point.
When to Avoid Over 75.5
Avoid this bet when:
- One player is much stronger and usually wins 3–0 or 3–1 with large margins.
- The match features aggressive attackers who finish rallies quickly.
- It’s an early-round match where weaker players tend to lose easily.
Betting Tips for Over 75.5 in Table Tennis
- Check past match results between the two players — if most go above 75 points, that’s a good sign.
- Analyze player styles – defensive and tactical players often push the score higher.
- Use live betting — if the first two sets are close (e.g., 11–9, 9–11), you can still bet Over 75.5 live for better odds.
- Consider the format — in best of 5 matches, reaching 4 or 5 sets usually means high total points.
- Don’t bet only on odds — always analyze players’ form, fatigue, and motivation.
Example of Losing Bet (Under 75.5 Scenario)
Example Match:
Ma Long vs Liam Pitchford
| Set | Score | Total Points |
|---|---|---|
| Set 1 | 11–5 | 16 |
| Set 2 | 11–7 | 18 |
| Set 3 | 11–6 | 17 |
| Total Points | 51 |
Result: Total = 51 points, which is Under 75.5, so an Over 75.5 bet loses.
Key Takeaway
- Over 75.5 means you believe the match will be long and competitive.
- Always research player stats, past meetings, and playing style.
- Combine Over/Under betting with live analysis for higher success.
