For so many, the under/over market is the best for them. With so many markets available to pick from, one can easily lose focus and bet on any market without looking at the underlying strategy. Taking luck into consideration, the over/under option can bring better results.
WHAT IS THE OVER/UNDER MARKET?
In any sporting event, the over/under has to do with the number of goals. The punter has the task to predict the number of goals that will be exceeded or that will not be exceeded in the event. In soccer, the over 2.5 markets, means that means that more than 2 goals will be scored in the match. The under 2.5 goals market, means that not more than 2 goals will be scored in the match.

Outcomes from sporting events can sometimes be very surprising, so having a strategy you stick to can help calm things down until things start coming your way again. Below are some strategies you can adopt.
STRATEGY 1: Sometimes we see teams that have a streak of under 2.5 goals in their previous ten matches. Banking on that same team to play an under 2.5 goals looks like a sure thing to happen. But surprisingly, that team's next match might see not just an over 2.5 goals ( more than 2 goals) but over 3.5 (more than 3 goals).
A possible reason is that the next match was played with an opponent with a high scoring ability and a weak defense.
Now our strategy: For predicting under market, compare the teams and make sure they don't have high scoring abilities and don't conceive easily then choose any under market for the event. For predicting over market, compare the two teams to see if they have a high scoring ability if they do go for any of the over markets.
STRATEGY 2: For predicting over market, pick a high scoring team against a team with a weak defensive line, bet on any of the over markets. Chances are that the weaker team will conceive early on in the game since they would not be able to hold on for long.
STRATEGY 3: Place bets on the over market when two teams with high scoring ability are playing against each other. No team will prefer sitting deep and goals are likely to come from both sides.
