Over/under bet (number of goals more/fewer)

An over/under bet is a bet placed on whether the total number of goals, points, etc. scored in a sporting event will be over or under a chosen default threshold.

Example: Bets are taken on more than 5.5 goals being scored in the ice hockey match between HC Davos and SC Bern (over). The match ends 3-4 after regular time, giving a total goal count of 7 (3+4). This means that more goals were scored than the chosen default threshold (the 7 goals in total are more than 5.5), in which case the bet is won.
