Meaning of “1 or Less and 3 or Less – No (Total Goals 1st + 2nd Half)”
This is a combined total-goals bet.
You are betting on two conditions about the total goals in a match:
“1 or Less” → The match total goals must be 1 or below
“3 or Less” → The match total goals must be 3 or below
But because the pick is “No”,
you are betting that these conditions will NOT happen.
So what does “No” mean?
Since both conditions must be true for “Yes”,
“No” means:
The total goals in the match must be 4 or more.
Because:
- If the match ends with 2 or 3 goals, the 1-or-less condition fails → so “No” wins.
- If the match ends with 4+ goals, the 3-or-less condition fails → so “No” wins even more clearly.
But the simplest way to understand:
“1 or Less and 3 or Less – No” = Total Goals must be 4 or more.
Detailed Example Using Teams
Example Match
Manchester City vs Aston Villa
You select:
1 or Less and 3 or Less – No
To win this bet, the match must NOT finish with 0–3 goals.
You WIN if the game ends with:
- 3–1
- 4–0
- 2–2
- 5–1
- 4–3
- Any result with 4 or more goals
As long as total goals = 4+, you win.
You LOSE if the game ends:
- 0–0
- 1–0
- 1–1
- 2–0
- 2–1
- 3–0
- 3–1 (No—this is 4 goals, so you WIN)
Correction:
You only lose when total goals ≤ 3.
Loss scores examples:
- 0–0 (0 goals)
- 1–0 (1 goal)
- 1–1 (2 goals)
- 2–1 (3 goals)
Why Bookmakers Phrase It This Way
It is simply a complicated way of offering:
Over 3.5 Total Goals
“1 or less and 3 or less – No” = The combined conditions are FALSE if the match has 4+ goals.

Betting Tips for This Market
Choose Attack-Minded Teams
Teams with strong offenses increase the chance of 4+ goals.
Examples:
- Man City
- Liverpool
- PSG
- Barcelona
- Bayern Munich
Avoid Low-Scoring Leagues
Leagues like:
- Italian Serie A
- Ligue 1 mid-table sides
have many 1–0 or 2–1 games.
Check Defensive Form
If both teams concede many goals recently → high scoring match.
Late-Season Matches
End-of-season games or cup matches often produce lots of goals when teams chase results.
Avoid “Derby Games”
Derbies can be tight and defensive, resulting in 2–3 goals max.
Final Summary
