The designation “Three-Way Total” is an analogue of the “Overall Total” bet, but with a number of differences (there is no possibility of a refund of the stake, and the “Three-Way Total” is not listed in the lines as quarter or fractional bets). It provides for three possible bets: “total under,” “total over,” and “total equal.”
Most often, the “Three-Way Total” is indicated by bookmakers in the lines for football matches.
