BETTING ON TOTALS

All pro sports, and selected college games also offer scoring totals for you to consider. These are called "Over-Unders" or "Totals". Simply put, sportsbooks posts an expectation for the total number of combined points, runs, or goals from the two teams and you can bet whether you think the final total will go over, or go under that amount. A typical NFL total will be in the high 30's or low 40's. A typical NBA total will be in the 180's to 200's. A typical baseball game will be in the 7-10 run range. And a typical hockey game will be in the 4-7 goal range. Some handicappers work exclusively with totals because there are situations where styles of play from opponents will work together to yield an extreme performance. Meaning either a very low scoring or very high scoring game. The sportsbooks number is generally a rather generic number that reflects public expectations, so it can be very vulnerable to solid handicapping. And, that's true of totals in any sport.
