The term “Total Over 1.5 (TO 1.5)” is one of the most popular Total Over bets among bettors. It indicates that in the selected sporting event, the participants are expected to score at least two units (such as goals, pucks, or points) as specified by the bookmaker in the main or additional line. The outcome of the match — whether it ends in a win, loss, or draw — does not affect the result of this wager.
The “Total Over 1.5” market is most commonly used in team sports such as football (soccer), hockey, and water polo. This bet can be placed not only on the final score of the match but also on specific statistical categories, such as corner kicks, penalty kicks, offsides, or yellow and red cards.
Possible outcomes of “Total Over 1.5”
When placing a “Total Over 1.5” bet, three possible scenarios may occur (for example, in a football match):
Win: The bet wins if the match ends with a score featuring two or more total goals — for example, 2–0, 1–1, 3–0, or 2–1.
Loss: The bet loses if the match ends with fewer than two total goals — for example, 0–0 or 1–0 (and 0–1). In this case, the bookmaker keeps the full stake.
Refund: A refund is only possible if the match is officially cancelled or voided, and neither team is awarded a technical win or loss.
