You bet ₦10,000 on Under 2 goals (Asian) at odds 1.85.

  • If match ends 0-0 or 1-0 or 0-1 → You win full: ₦10,000 × 1.85 = ₦18,500 total.
  • If match ends 1-1, 2-0 or 0-2 → Stake refunded: ₦10,000 back.
  • If match ends 2-1, 3-0, 1-2 or more → You lose ₦10,000.

This line is useful when you expect a low-scoring match, but still want protection if exactly 2 goals occur.


Why Bettors Use “Under 2” Asian

  • Lower risk than Under 1.5 (because you get refunded at exactly 2 goals instead of losing).
  • Better odds than Under 2.5 (since you’re taking a stricter line).
  • Ideal for games you predict will be tight and defensive but may just creep to 2 goals.

Betting Tips for “Under 2” Asian Goals

  1. Look for defensive teams
    – Teams with low average goals per match (e.g., Italian Serie A mid-table sides, or a Mourinho-style team).
  2. Check recent head-to-head
    – If last 5 meetings ended 0-0, 1-0, 1-1, it’s a good sign.
  3. Consider match context
    – Knockout matches (first legs), relegation battles, or finals often have fewer goals.
  4. Team News & Weather
    – Missing key strikers or bad weather (heavy rain) lowers goal expectancy.
  5. Use as part of your staking strategy
    – Because of the refund possibility, this bet is safer for bigger stakes than standard Under/Over lines.

Quick Recap

  • Under 2 (Asian): Win if ≤1 goal, Refund if exactly 2, Lose if ≥3 goals.
  • Best for: Low-scoring games where you want some insurance.
  • Example: Chelsea vs Brentford (₦10k @ 1.85 → Refund at 2 goals, win below).
