GLOSSARY TERM
Over/Under (Totals)
Totals bets ignore winners entirely: the book posts expected combined points/goals, bettors take over or under, half-point lines prevent pushes.
The quiet sophistication
Totals pricing embeds pace, style and situational modeling — sharp totals bettors are often the sharpest in the building. Product-wise, totals feed same-game parlays (correlations between spreads and totals are where books historically mispriced), and prop-market expansion is largely totals logic applied to players. Editorially, totals strategy is evergreen inventory with less competition than winner-picking content.
