What “Under 1” (Asian Over/Under) Means
- Market Type: Asian Over/Under Goals
- Bet Name: Under 1 Goals
You’re betting that the total number of goals in the match will be less than 1.
This market has special Asian rules that refund stakes in some cases, unlike traditional Over/Under markets.
How the Bet Settles
| Final Score | Total Goals | Bet Outcome on Under 1 |
|---|---|---|
| 0-0 | 0 | Win (all stake wins) |
| 1-0 / 0-1 | 1 | Push / Stake Refunded (no win, no loss) |
| 2-0 / 1-1+ | 2 or more | Lose |
So:
- 0 goals = full win
- Exactly 1 goal = refund
- 2+ goals = lose
This is the main difference from a regular “Under 1.0 goals” on European sportsbooks (which often combine it with half lines like 1.5).
Example with a Team
Imagine Burnley vs Sheffield United (two low-scoring Premier League teams).
You bet Under 1 Goals (Asian) at odds 2.40.
- If match ends 0-0 → you win (big cash-out).
- If match ends 1-0 or 0-1 → your stake is refunded.
- If match ends 1-1 or higher → you lose.
This market suits matches where you strongly expect no goals at all, or a very low-scoring match.
Difference vs Other Lines
| Market | 0 Goals | 1 Goal | 2+ Goals |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 0.5 | Win | Lose | Lose |
| Under 1.0 | Win | Refund | Lose |
| Under 1.5 | Win | Win | Lose |
Under 1.0 is stricter than Under 1.5 but safer than Under 0.5.
Betting Tips for “Under 1 Goals”
When to Use It
- Matches between two defensive teams.
- Games where a draw suits both sides (e.g., final group matches).
- Low tempo leagues (French Ligue 2, lower divisions).
What to Check
- Team news (missing attackers?).
- Weather (heavy rain slows scoring).
- Motivation (do both teams need to win?).
Smart Approach
- If you see odds >2.00 for Under 1 and you expect a 0-0, it’s value.
- But don’t use it in high-scoring leagues (Netherlands, Germany).
