The term “Team 1 Over 4.5” refers to a variation of the Individual Total Over bet. It indicates that the home team in a sporting event is expected to score more than four points (goals or pucks) during the match. The “Team 1 Over 4.5” market is used by bettors in high-scoring sports such as handball, futsal, and hockey. In football (soccer), this type of bet is usually applied not to the final score, but to additional statistics — such as the number of yellow cards, shots on target, or corner kicks.
