What “Home Team Over 1.5 Goals” Means
- You are betting that the home team will score at least 2 goals in the match.
- It does not matter how many goals the away team scores or who wins the game.
- If the home team scores:
- 0 or 1 goal → Bet loses
- 2 or more goals → Bet wins
Example with a Club
Let’s use Manchester City (Home) vs. Aston Villa (Away) in the Premier League.
- Bet placed: Manchester City Over 1.5 Team Goals.
- Possible outcomes:
- Manchester City 2–0 Aston Villa → Win (City scored 2).
- Manchester City 3–1 Aston Villa → Win (City scored 3).
- Manchester City 1–1 Aston Villa → Lose (City scored only 1).
- Manchester City 0–0 Aston Villa → Lose (City scored 0).
The away team’s goals don’t matter — only Manchester City’s total matters.
Why Bettors Use This Market
- Focuses only on home team’s scoring ability.
- Useful when a strong home team (like Real Madrid, Man City, Bayern Munich) faces a weaker or defensive away side.
- Often safer than betting on “Home Win,” because even if the home team draws or loses, you can still win if they score 2+.
