What does over/under goals mean in soccer betting?
Over/under goals is a bet on whether the total number of goals in a match will be above or below a line set by the sportsbook, such as 2.5. Over 2.5 wins with three or more goals; under 2.5 wins with two or fewer.

Lines ending in .5 cannot push, because a match cannot have half a goal. Whole-number lines such as 2.0 or 3.0 can land exactly on the number, and the stake is then usually refunded. Most sportsbooks settle totals on regular time; always check the operator's rules.
For example, over 2.5 goals might be priced at 1.95 (about -105) and under 2.5 at 1.90 (about -111). If the match ends 2-1, over wins. A $20 stake on over at 1.95 returns $39, a $19 profit.
Totals depend on more than team quality. Tempo, weather, late-season motivation and each team's expected goals numbers all shape the line. Do not assume a big favorite means lots of goals; one-sided matches often finish 1-0 or 2-0.
