What are Totals? What does the Asian total mean? What is the total in betting on football?

Football stakes today are not only a popular form of entertainment, but also a way of life for many cappers of the world. What is the total in betting on football - even a beginner knows: this is the total number of goals that must be scored (or not scored) for a certain period of time, in particular for the whole match or for one of the halves. This type of betting is great for both players who are just starting their way in gambling, and for experienced professionals earning on such a specific business. The bookmaker total has several varieties, and some of them are quite difficult for beginners, therefore they are used only by advanced players. In this article we will talk about all the varieties of the rate in question.

Classic fractional total more

The simplest for understanding is the standard total more / less, having a fractional value, a multiple of 0.5: 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, etc. Consider it on the most popular form of scoring chances "top" - "bottom ". The top is called the total more (tb) 2.5 balls, bottom - total less (tm) 2.5. To pass a plus (top), a minimum of 3 goals is required in the match. Accordingly, for winning rates. 1.5 it is necessary that for two teams to score at least 2 goals, and in the rate tb. 3.5 - 4 goals, and so on.

What is the total less in this situation? This is the mirror opposite of the plus on the goals. If in the first case we need goals from the teams, in the second, on the contrary, we put on a "dry" match with a minimum of goals scored. When betting on a total of less than 2.5 (bottom), the winnings are awarded when the teams score less than 3 goals per meeting.

Why do they choose "top" and "bottom" most often?

What are totals "top" and "bottom"? Why are these goal bets the most popular type of forecasts for cappers? The fact is that in most cases it is these bookmakers' offers that have the most acceptable coefficient and degree of patency. For example, making a bet on tb. 1.5, we have a greater probability of winning than, say, at a rate of b. 2.5, but the payment in this case will be about three times less, and as a result of the loss, we will have to win back the lost money for a long time, making bets on such small coefficients. The rate tb 3.5 has a coefficient much higher than the usual "top", but the passage of this prediction is reduced several times. Therefore, it is more profitable to take tb. 2.5 goals, if we talk about plus totals.

Exactly the same situation with negative options. Put on the fact that the team will score less than two goals in the match - t.m. 1.5, is too risky, although bookmakers always expose very generous odds on such outcomes. A bet on t.m. 3.5 is completely unprofitable and will never bring a player into the plus at a long distance because of scanty winnings.

Types of Asian Totals

The Asian total is much more interesting and diverse than the classical one. Note that it also has standard fractional outcomes, multiples of 0.5: total more / less than 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, etc. - they are completely identical to those discussed above. But besides this, he has two more types of totals: a multiple of 1 and a multiple of 0.25. On the second form we'll talk a little later, we only note that this is aerobatics, and such bets are used only by experienced players.

Asian totals, multiples of 1

Here we will focus on the so-called "whole" totals (multiples of 1). What does total mean more or less than 1, 2, 3, etc.? What is their difference from fractional counterparts? The fact is that such types of bets assume not two, as in most cases, but three outcomes of the game: winning, losing and returning. That is, making a bet, say, the total is more than 2, as in the case with the forecast for tb. 2.5, for victory we need to team for two scored at least 3 goals. But in that situation, if the game ends with a total of 2 goals, the result of the match falls exactly in the total and thus is reset, and we get a refund of our bet without any gain. When the match ends in a goalless draw or only one goal scored, the bet loses.

A similar principle works with minus total, but in the other direction. For example, let's take the so-called. 3. This bet wins, when the match is scored less than 3 goals. If 3 goals still flew into the goal, the bookmakers make out the return of the bet. This forecast is doomed to lose if in a match 4 or more goals are scored.

It would seem that the Asian total is much more advantageous than its fractional counterparts, and it is best to bet on it, because in case of not the most favorable outcome, a return is possible. But the truth lies in the coefficients: the safer the bet, the lower the payout, and the low coefficients are just as useless for playing at long distance, as well as high ones.

Asian totals, multiples of 0.25

What is the total, multiples of 0.25, and sometimes it is not at all clear. Indeed, such types of rates are much more complex than those described above. Like totals multiples of 1, these bets have three outcomes, but their complexity lies in the fact that the total amount put on the outcome with a total multiple of 0.25, in fact, is divided into two halves. Let's consider an example: suppose, we make a rate of 2000 rubles for a total more than 2.75 for a factor of 2.0. In this scenario, the rate is divided in half: 1000 rubles is placed on the outcome of the current. 2.5, and the other 1000 - on tb. 3. Here are the results possible with this game:

• If in the match 3 goals are scored, then half of the bet, drawn up for the result of tb. 2.5, wins, and we get the deserved money at a rate of 2.0 - 2000 rubles, where 1000 rubles - our rate, and 1000 - the win of its first half. In this case, the second 1000 does not win, but falls exactly in tb. 3 and, accordingly, is returned to the account without payment. As a result, we receive the entire amount set in 2000 rubles back + a win of 1000 rubles for the first half of the bet.
• What does the total mean more than 2.75 in those cases when 4 or more goals are scored in the match? If the game ends with such an outcome, then both bets win, because two forecasts have passed: in the first case - tb. 2.5, and in the second - tb. 3. And on the deposit, in addition to the 2000 rate, the winning amount of 2000 rubles is transferred.
• A complete loss is possible provided that less than 3 goals are scored in the meeting.

What is the totals, ending at 75 hundredths, is now clear. Consider a more risky option - a bet approximate to the above: tb. 3.25. With such a forecast, one half of the bet is made on tb. 3, and the second - on tb. 3.5. Accordingly, there is no half-way win. With 3 goals scored, we only get back the first half of the bet, but lose the second, because tb. 3.5 has not passed. 4 and more goals in the match will allow you to get a win on two halves of the bet. If the match is completed with a total total score of less than 3 goals, the entire bet is lost.

What is a total less in a similar case? Everything is practically the same, but with a negative value. In a situation with plus totals, all bets ending in 75ths were safer and in two out of three cases they promised a win: in one - half on the first part of the bet and a return on the second, in the second - a gain on both types of the forecast. And there was only one option for a complete loss. As for the totals, ending at 25 hundredths, they offer much larger coefficients, but the win is calculated only in one of three variants, while it is possible to lose in two other outcomes: in one - half-time, in the second - all.

In the minus totals, the opposite is true. Bets ending in 25ths, win in two variants of three and in one defeat, and bets with the end of 75 hundredths assume two losses: full or half, and only one case of success.

Individual Totals

What do the total mean more individually? All the above principles work in this kind of rates exactly the same. The only difference is that here we put not on the overall goals of both teams, but on the results of some one.

For example, consider the game "Hispaniola" against "Levante". Bidding, for example, on the total of "Hispaniola" (no matter what it is total: a whole or a fractional, more or less), the result of this team is important to us. It does not matter how many goals scored or do not score to "Levante", as the success or failure of this bet is wholly and completely curled from the heads of "Hispaniola".

Total time totals

What are Totals in Times? Their principle of operation is identical to common totals, but the coefficients are significantly higher due to the fact that the number of goals scored in a certain time is important here, and not for the entire match. Take the same meeting, "Espanyol" - "Levante". We will make a contingent bet on it: tb. 1.5 in the second half. It does not matter how the first half ends, the main thing is that the second half of the meeting should bring two or more balls, and then the legitimate winnings will be transferred to the deposit.

Individual totals by time

What do you mean by the total time of one of the teams? It's very simple: we rely on the fact that one team will score a certain number of goals in one of the halves. Let's say we put on goal "Levante" in the first half. The results of "Hispaniola" us in this match are not interested, the main thing is that the team "Levante" scored at least one goal in the first half of the meeting.

Conclusion

So, we figured out what the total is in the stakes on football. There is nothing difficult in understanding such types of rates, but, undoubtedly, advanced totals, multiples of 0.25, cause complexity at the first acquaintance with them. In order to practice betting on similar outcomes, it is best to invest small amounts to begin with - the loss of small money will not be a big trouble when making an erroneous bet. With the experience will come and understanding complex forecasts.
