OVER 61.0 POINTS DEFINITION

What does Over 61.0 Points mean?

In sports betting Over 61.0 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 61.0 for your bet to win.

If the result total of the game is exactly 61.0 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 61.0 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 62.0 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 61.0 Points for the under bet to win.
