What “Over 3 | Asian Over/Under” Means
This is an Asian Goal Line market. Unlike standard “Over/Under” betting (like Over 2.5 or Under 2.5), Asian totals use whole numbers (2, 3, 4…) or split lines (like 2.25, 2.75).
With Over 3 Asian Goals, you are betting that the total number of goals in the match will be more than 3.
- If the match ends with exactly 3 goals, your stake is refunded (push).
- If the match ends with 4 goals or more, you win.
- If the match ends with 2 goals or fewer, you lose.
Settlement Table for Over 3 Asian Goals
| Total Goals in Match | Result for Over 3 Bet |
|---|---|
| 0, 1, 2 goals | Lose (stake lost) |
| Exactly 3 goals | Push (stake refunded) |
| 4 or more goals | Win (full payout) |
Example with a Team
Let’s use Manchester City vs. Brighton as an example:
- You bet ₦10,000 on Over 3 Asian Goals at odds 1.90.
| Scoreline (Full Time) | Total Goals | Outcome | Return |
|---|---|---|---|
| Man City 3–0 Brighton | 3 goals | Push | ₦10,000 back |
| Man City 3–1 Brighton | 4 goals | Win | ₦10,000 × 1.90 = ₦19,000 |
| Man City 2–1 Brighton | 3 goals | Push | ₦10,000 back |
| Man City 1–1 Brighton | 2 goals | Lose | ₦0 |
This is the key difference from Over 3.5 Goals (which would lose if only 3 goals were scored).
Why People Bet Over 3 Asian Goals
- Safety Net: If the game ends exactly on 3 goals, you don’t lose your stake.
- High-Scoring Matches: Used when you strongly expect 4+ goals but want the refund protection if it ends on 3.
- Good for Attack-Minded Teams: Teams like Man City, Bayern, PSG, or Barcelona against weaker sides often fit this line.
Another Example
- Match: Bayern Munich vs. Augsburg

| Score | Total Goals | Bet Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| 4–0 | 4 goals | Win |
| 3–1 | 4 goals | Win |
| 2–1 | 3 goals | Push |
| 1–1 | 2 goals | Lose |
Betting Tips for Over 3 Asian Goals
- Check Team Styles
- Look for teams that regularly score 2+ goals themselves and concede often.
- Example: Liverpool vs. Newcastle (both attack-minded).
- Look at Defensive Records
- If both teams defend well, this market may be too high.
- In such cases, Over 2.5 or Over 2 Asian Goals might be safer.
- Consider Match Context
- Cup games or second legs can produce more goals, especially if one side must attack.
- Early-season friendlies or group games may also see open play.
- Use Live Betting
- If the first 20 minutes are very open, odds for Over 3 might improve.
- Compare Odds
- Some bookmakers price Asian lines differently; small differences affect profits over time.
Quick Formula:
- Expecting ≥4 goals? → Over 3 Asian Goals is good.
- Expecting exactly 3 goals? → Stake will be refunded.
- Expecting 2–3 goals only? → Avoid this line or take Over 2.5.
