Have you ever wondered, “What does O/U mean in betting?” This beginner’s guide to over and under wagers aims to clear up any confusion.
Understanding Over/Under (O/U) Bets
Over/Under bets, often abbreviated as O/U, are popular in sports betting. These wagers focus on the total number of points, runs, or goals scored in a game.
How O/U Bets Work
In an O/U bet:
- A bookmaker sets a total number for a specific stat (e.g., points in a basketball game).
- You bet whether the actual number will be over or under that total.
Example of O/U Bets
Imagine a football game with an O/U line set at 45.5 points:
- If you bet “over,” you win if the total score is 46 or higher.
- If you bet “under,” you win if the total score is 45 or lower.
Why Bet O/U?
- Simpler than point spreads
- Works for various sports
