OVER 26.5 POINTS DEFINITION

What does Over 26.5 Points mean?

In sports betting Over 26.5 Points is an example of a total market you might see when betting on American Football. When betting on the Over market you need the total points of a game to exceed 26.5 for your bet to win.

For example if you placed a bet on an outcome to go Over 26.5 Points you require the end result of an American Football game to have a total (combined score of both teams) greater than or equal to 27.0 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 26.5 Points for the under bet to win.
