Over 1.5 Goals

Over 1.5 Predictions

The over 1.5 goals bet represents the easiest chance to place an accurate bet on football matches because it presents the easiest question that can be asked regarding the match in question – will the total number of goals scored by both teams be higher than two? This occurs in three out of four games in the European top leagues.

This is what makes the 75% base so valuable, whereas the thorough selection of fixtures brings the strategy above mid-eighties mark.

And this is why 1.5 over, not long accumulators which are used by the inexperienced players, represents the foundation for the vast majority of betting strategies.

What an Over 1.5 Bet Actually Means

To win an over 1.5 bet the sum of goals scored by the two teams should make two or more. Half goal is included in the bet in order to avoid draws, because a score of 1.5 – 1.5 is impossible in football.

It is necessary to say that own and stoppage time goals count too, and who scored them is irrelevant. In case of cup matches, bets are settled after 90 minutes including stoppage time.

There are two losing outcomes: 0-0 and 1-0. All the rest of the outcomes win. This is the most expensive misunderstanding connected with the betting line – over 1.5 is not a range but a threshold.

Thus, whether the score is 5-0 or 1-1, both clear 2, and the bet will be the same. The principle is similar to all the other lines: over 2.5 means 3 or more, over 3.5 means 4.

Over 1.5 in SportyBet and Other Bookmakers

The over is part of the fixture's goals market and is called "Over/Under 1.5" or simply total goals.

First you should open the fixture rather than the front page odds, then click on Over 1.5 and check that the price is better than one or two other bookmakers before putting down 1 to 3 percent of your bankroll.

Everything works the same way everywhere, the only difference is the price, and the price is what makes the bettor lose money. The price should vary between 1.20 and 1.45, anything higher than 1.50 means that the bookmaker thinks that the fixture is defensive.

Are 100% Sure Over 1.5 Predictions True?

Not true, there are no 100% over 1.5 predictions and any site telling the opposite is lying. It is always possible that even the fixture with the best goal statistics may end up 1-0 or 0-0. Our predictions are around ninety percent accurate and we emphasize that since it can be seen in our archive.

There are always risks in using the accumulator strategy. 13 legged over 1.5 betting slip offered as "20 odds daily" succeeds less than 12 percent of the time since one low goal result will void it.

The sites boasting that they never had missed over 1.5 prediction have erased all their mistakes. We publish all of them for that reason.

How We Select Our 1.5+ Tips

For a light to be placed on our list of 1.5+ tips, it must meet all the following criteria. If it fails to meet any two, then it's disqualified no matter how favorable the odds look.

The league context takes care of everything, as the average 2.6 goals per match is one thing in a defensively-minded league and another in an attack-minded league, therefore, each match is compared to the league average, not to the global one. The final filters are the filters where human analysis kicks in.

While the model sees 3.1 average and says over is a cinch, a human will note that both teams are safe in the middle table in May or that six players will rest before a cup semi-final.

Selections are assessed according to their confidence level. Bankers cover all selections with confidence levels from 88% and above, and they get 2-3% of the total stake.

Good selections are those with confidence levels ranging from 82% to 88%, and they get 1-2% of the budget. Value selections with confidence levels from 75% to 82% are staked in the case of generous odds.

Below 75%, there is no selection even at generous odds. In days when nothing goes over 88% confidence level, no banker is provided – attempting to have a banker out of nowhere just because of maintaining a streak destroys the future performance of tipsters. Accuracy is within the confidence bands and never exceeds them – this is what a calibrated model does.

Things to Note Before You Bet Over 1.5

It is very easy to foresee the risks here and hence stay away from them. The low odds are still losses – 1.25 is completely safe until the referee blows his whistle and the match ends without any goals. Therefore, one has to be careful with the stakes, never betting twice in order to cover his losses.

Do not risk with fixtures at the end of the season, take into account cagey derbies and knockout fixtures as avoid, unless there is some unusually good statistics and do not forget to check the weather report, as it is difficult to score in the rain with wind on a slippery pitch.

A loss on Over 1.5 does not seem fair due to the large number of winning bets but it is completely normal to lose every now and then. With 85% accuracy, one must be ready to lose around three times out of twenty games, not necessarily sequentially, sometimes even consecutively.

Nothing fancy happens when making money during the season. It all depends on the proper planning of the flat stakes within the range of 1 to 3 percent, excluding the matches in which one is not completely sure, betting on singles and doubles and recording the results, rather than betting more.
