Today, a huge number of people are addicted to gambling, such as poker, roulette, slot machines, etc. However, there are people for whom such entertainment is primarily income.

Sports betting as a means of earning money

Everyone who bets on sports in bookmakers dreams of getting a stable income, but only a small percentage of users get it. Most place bets on absolutely all sporting events, regardless of how well they understand a particular sport. In turn, those who really make money on bets carefully study the event, meeting statistics, the state of the team and individual players. And only after weighing all the pros and cons, they make a specific decision for each match separately, taking into account the risk.

What are the rates?

There are many different types of bets in sports predictions. The player can bet on the victory or loss of one or another team. This is perhaps considered one of the simplest and most common predictions. Many people prefer to place their bets on the exact score or the handicap of one of the teams. Today, bookmakers offer a very wide range of events,which features bets such as the number of corner kicks, whether a pen alty will be awarded in the match, the number of fouls and pen alties and even the number of added minutes. Also in bookmakers there is such a thing as total. What is total, we will try to figure it out in this article. We will also try to understand what the additional parameters of the bet on such an event mean.

Total - what is it?

Many non-professional privateers, having heard this word, are frightened, because they cannot understand the meaning of such a bet. Let's try to find out the meaning of the word total.

In translation from English, this means “total” or “sum”, just like in bookmakers. Total in sports betting is one of the most common events. It shows the total number of goals scored when it comes to football. In the case of basketball, points, hockey, the number of pucks, etc. “Total” means the sum of the goals scored by both teams.

There are two different bets on the total - these are Under and Over, which means "Total Under" and "Total Over". Each type is complemented by the number of goals or pucks scored or points earned. Let's look at an example and try to bet on the total.

What is TM (2.5)?

Let's imagine that Arsenal and Liverpool meet in a football match, the total for the match is offered under (2.5). That is, this bet will play if no more than two goals are scored by both teams in the entire match. Thus, the gain will be in the casefinal score: 0-0; 0-1; 1-0; 1-1; 2-0 and 0-2. In all other cases, the sum of goals will exceed the total values for this match, namely 2.5, which means that the bet Under (2.5) will be lost. If TM (2.5) is lost, then the bet TB (2.5) has won. There is another type of forecast for the total.

What is TM (2)?

The meaning is exactly the same as in the previous case. The exception is the moment if the number of goals scored will be equal to two, that is, the scores: 1-1; 2-0 or 0-2. In this case, the total will be neither less nor more than two, which means that the bet cannot be considered winning or losing. This is a kind of draw between the bookmaker and the privateer, in which case the odds of the bet are equal to one, and its amount is returned to the person who bet it.

How to win on total?

Many professional privateers are of the opinion that bets exclusively on the total of a match can lead to a good win, and if you approach them correctly, then to a permanent income. Today, there are a huge number of strategies for betting on the total, using them correctly, you can make a solid profit.

The main thing to remember is that before betting serious amounts on certain systems and strategies, you need to test them on small amounts to make sure they are reliable.
