Most place bets on absolutely all sports events, regardless of how well they are versed in a particular sport. In turn, those who really earn on the stakes, carefully study the event, the statistics of meetings, the state of the team and individual players. And only weighing all the pros and cons take a specific decision for each match separately, taking into account the risk.

Total - what is it?

Many unprofessional marauders, hearing this word, are frightened, because they can not 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 "amount", in the same way 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. "General" means the amount of goals scored by both teams.

There are two different rates for total - this is TM and TB, which means "total less" and "total more." Each type of supplement is the number of goals scored or washers or earned points. We will analyze on an example and we will try to put on a total.

What is TM (2.5)?

Imagine that in a football match, there are "Arsenal" and "Liverpool", total for the match proposed TM (2.5). That is, this bet will play in the event that for the entire duel with both teams in the total will be scored no more than two goals. Thus, the win will be in the event of a final score: 0-0; 0-1; 1-0; 1-1; 2-0 and 0-2. In all other cases, the amount of goals will be higher than the total for this match, namely 2.5, which means that the bet of TM (2.5) will be lost. If TM (2.5) is lost, it means that it won the TB rate (2.5). There is another kind of forecast for total.

What is TM (2)?

The meaning is absolutely the same as in the previous case. The exception is the moment if the number of goals scored is two, that is, the score: 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 can not be recognized as winning or losing. This is a kind of draw between the bookmaker and the privateer, and in this case the bet coefficient is equated to one, and its amount is returned to the person who placed it.

How to win at the total?

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