This is a strange sounding name, and it takes a bit of explaining for beginners. Let’s start with “Over 2.5 prediction“; This means that in a particular game, more than two goals between the two match participants must be scored for you to win the bet.

This football betting market may also be shown as “Over 2.5 goal line”. Why the .5? You can’t have half a goal, so anything more than 2.5 is more than 2, right? If they called it Over 2 goals, it might be more fitting – but that’s what we have so just go with it.

An “Under 2.5 Goals prediction” bet is similarly placed on two teams scoring 2 goals or fewer in a game.
