Hello, friends. In this post I’ll talk about Total Over Betting Strategy. All you need to do with it – follow global trend in football. Average performance is growing in major leagues. That’s why average total score is growing too.
Total Over Betting Strategy – My Result
I’ve checked out how this works on practice. I was betting on total over (2) and (2.5). Some matches were cancelled, overall results you can see on the screenshot below – 2 loses, 1 returned, 17 winnings. Overall ROI is (331.5 USD * 100%) / 200 USD = 165.75%
Stats
This statistics is not representative. But if you’ll check Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, Premier League, Ligue 1 results in different seasons you’ll see that av. total score is growing. Here is statistics for Serie A (example):
How to improve this strategy
You can change your stake depending on your results. Let’s assume that your regular stake is 0,5% per game (2000 USD bank and 10 USD stake). Matchday 1 ends with 20 USD loss. You can add 20 USD / 10 = 2 USD to your stake to compensate day 1 lose.
Why this is acceptable? Because you have a reason to think, that on a long distance you’ll have success – global trend works on you. That’s why if you don’t go crazy with your bankroll management (use Martingale or other brain-dead tactics) you should get good result.
Pros & Cons of Total Over Betting Strategy

- Most of the time, your bets will win. You’ll be less stressed than if you’ll follow bet against line strategy
