1. What is 3-5+ Goal Bounds?
- Goal Bounds betting predicts the range of total goals scored in a match, not the exact score.
- A 3-5+ Goal Bounds bet means:
- You are betting that the total number of goals in the match will be 3, 4, 5, or more.
- Most bookmakers treat the “+” as “5 or more.”
So, for a 3-5+ bet:
- 0, 1, 2 goals → Lose
- 3, 4, 5, or more → Win
It’s slightly safer than betting on an exact total like “Over 3.5 goals” because it covers a range.
2. Choosing a Team for 3-5+ Goals
Let’s take Manchester City as an example.
Why Manchester City?
- Strong attacking lineup
- Often high-scoring matches
- Average goals scored per game is high (~2.5–3 goals)
- Sometimes weaker defenses allow more goals
Check these stats before betting:
- Average goals per match (scored + conceded) → If the team usually has 3+ goals per match, this bet is favorable.
- Head-to-head stats → Look at past matches between the two teams.
- Recent form → Are both teams scoring heavily in recent games?
- Injuries or missing key defenders → Can increase chances of more goals.
3. Example of 3-5+ Goal Bounds Bet
Match: Manchester City vs. Liverpool
Step 1: Analyze Stats
- Last 5 matches:
- Man City: 4-1, 3-2, 2-2, 5-0, 3-1
- Liverpool: 2-3, 1-2, 4-1, 2-2, 3-3
Step 2: Total Goals in Each Game
- Man City matches: 5, 5, 4, 5, 4 goals → consistently 3+ goals
- Liverpool matches: 5, 3, 5, 4, 6 goals → consistently 3+ goals
Step 3: Prediction
- Total goals likely = 3–6 → Betting 3-5+ Goals is logical.
Step 4: Placing the Bet
- Bet amount: $10
- Odds: 1.65 (example)
- Outcome: If total goals are 3, 4, 5, or more → you win.
4. Betting Tips for 3-5+ Goals
- Pick high-scoring teams → Teams like Man City, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, or PSG often feature in these bets.
- Avoid teams with strong defenses and low scoring → Example: Atletico Madrid vs. Cagliari may not hit 3+ goals often.
- Consider the league → Some leagues (like Premier League, Bundesliga) have more high-scoring matches.
- Check head-to-head history → Some matchups historically produce 3+ goals.
- Look at recent form → Teams in winning streaks or chasing games tend to score more.
- Use live betting → If the match starts slow but both teams are attacking, you can add in-play bets.
