In sports betting, “Under/Over 1.5 touchdowns” refers to a type of wager on the total number of touchdowns that will be stored in a specific game or event. The “1.5” in this case serves as a benchmark, and bettors can place bets on whether the actual total number of touchdowns scored in the game will be below (under) or above (over) 1.5.
Here’s how it works:
- Under 1.5 touchdowns: If you bet on the “under,” you win the bet if the total number of touchdowns scored in the game is zero or one. If there are two or more touchdowns, you lose the bet.
- Over 1.5 touchdowns: If you bet on the “over,” you win the bet if the total number of touchdowns scored in the game is two or more. If there is zero or only one touchdown, you lose the bet.
This type of betting is a way for sportsbooks to offer a more specific and focused wagering option on the total number of touchdowns. As opposed to traditional over/under bets on the total points scored in a game.
It provides a simple binary choice for bettors based on whether they expect a high-scoring (over) or low-scoring (under) game regarding touchdowns.
It is important to note that touchdowns under/over 1.5 may have different names in some websites and regions. The most common names are handicap, prop betting, or spread betting
What does Under/Over 1.5 touchdowns mean in US football betting?
In US football betting, “Under/Over 1.5 touchdowns” refers to a type of proposition (prop). A Bet where you predict whether the total number of touchdowns scored by a team or player will be under or over 1.5 during a game.
Here’s what each term means:
Over 1.5 Touchdowns: You bet the team or player will score at least two touchdowns in the game.
Under 1.5 Touchdowns: You bet the team or player will score one touchdown or none.
This type of bet is popular because it doesn’t require predicting the exact score or winner of the game, just the touchdown performance of a team or player. Regardless of the final outcome, it’s a way to engage with the game’s scoring action.
Under/Over 1.5 touchdowns examples
Suppose there’s an upcoming football game between Team A and Team B, and the sportsbook sets the line for Under/Over 1.5 touchdowns as follows:
Under 1.5 touchdowns:
Odds: -150 (decimal odds of 1.67)
Over 1.5 touchdowns:
Odds: +120 (decimal odds of 2.20)
Now, let’s consider two scenarios:
You bet $100 on Under 1.5 touchdowns at -150 odds.
If the game has zero or one touchdown (and you win), your profit would be $100 * (1.67) = $67, plus your initial $100 back.
If the game has two or more touchdowns (and you lose), you will lose your $100 bet.
You bet $100 on Over 1.5 touchdowns at +120 odds.
If the game has two or more touchdowns (and you win), your profit would be $100 * (2.20) = $120, plus your initial $100 back.
If the game has zero or one touchdown (and you lose), you will lose your $100 bet.
Player Over/Under 1.5 Touchdowns in sports betting
For instance, if the bet is on Melvin Gordon to score over/under 1.5 touchdowns in a game, and you bet on the over, you would need Gordon to score at least two touchdowns to win the bet.
Remember, the odds for these bets can vary, and they are often presented with moneyline odds indicating the payout for each side of the wager.
For example, Patrick Mahomes might have an Over/Under 1.5 TD pass with over -165/Under +145 odds.
This means if you bet on the over and he throws at least 2 TD passes, you would need to risk $165 to win $100; if you bet on the under and he throws 1 or 0 TD passes, a $100 bet would win you $145.
