What Does “NG or Under (4.5)” Mean?
This is a double-chance style market. Your bet wins if either condition happens:
- NG (No Goal) → At least one team does NOT score
(i.e. Both Teams To Score = NO)
OR
- Under 4.5 Goals → Total goals in the match are 4 or fewer
You only need ONE of these to be correct for your bet to win.
When Does the Bet WIN?
The bet wins in most normal football scorelines.
Winning Score Examples
- 0–0 (NG + Under 4.5)
- 1–0
- 2–0
- 2–1
- 3–1
- 4–0
- 2–2 (BTTS YES, but still Under 4.5)
When Does the Bet LOSE?
You lose only if BOTH conditions fail, meaning:
- Both teams score
- AND total goals are 5 or more
Losing Score Examples
- 3–2 (BTTS YES + Over 4.5)
- 4–1
- 5–0
- 3–3
These are usually high-scoring, open games.
