UNDER 249.0 POINTS DEFINITION

What does Under 249.0 Points mean?

In sports betting Under 249.0 Points is an example of a total market you might see when betting on Basketball. When betting on the Under market you need the total points of a game to stay below 249.0 for your bet to win.

If the result total of the game is exactly 249.0 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 Under 249.0 Points you require the end result of a basketball game to have a total (combined score of both teams) less than or equal to 248.0 for your bet to win.

Sports bettors can also choose to bet on the Overs, which requires the opposite outcome to the Unders bet where the total would need to go Over 249.0 Points for the over bet to win.
