OVER 216.0 POINTS DEFINITION

What does Over 216.0 Points mean?

In sports betting Over 216.0 Points is an example of a total market you might see when betting on Basketball. When betting on the Over market you need the total points of a game to exceed 216.0 for your bet to win.

If the result total of the game is exactly 216.0 points it is known as a push, meaning the total bet results in no winner or loser. In this case the bettor will be returned the stake of their original bet but won’t be paid out as a winner.

For example if you placed a bet on an outcome to go Over 216.0 Points you require the end result of a basketball game to have a total (combined score of both teams) greater than or equal to 217.0 for your bet to win.

Sports bettors can also choose to bet on the Unders, which requires the opposite outcome to the Overs bet where the total would need to go Under 216.0 Points for the under bet to win.
