OVER 248.5 POINTS DEFINITION

What does Over 248.5 Points mean?

In sports betting Over 248.5 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 248.5 for your bet to win.

For example if you placed a bet on an outcome to go Over 248.5 Points you require the end result of a basketball game to have a total (combined score of both teams) greater than or equal to 249.0 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 248.5 Points for the under bet to win.
