The bet “1X and Total Over 2.5” is a combined wager that includes two outcomes — the home team to win or draw the match, and the total number of goals to exceed 2.5.
How to bet on “1X and Total Over 2.5”
This type of bet is most commonly used in football (soccer) matches. It’s best suited for games where there is no clear favorite — when both teams have comparable chances of success, and the game is expected to be open and attacking.
For example, in Round 4 of the German Bundesliga, Borussia Mönchengladbach (11th place) hosted Wolfsburg (15th place). A bet on 1X and Total Over 2.5 predicts that Borussia will either win by a wide margin or that Wolfsburg will manage to hold them to a high-scoring draw.

Loss: if at least one of the following occurs: the away team wins the match, or the total number of goals scored does not exceed 2.5 (for example, 0–0, 1–0, 1–1, 0–1).
