The designation “Over 2.25” refers to a type of Asian Total Over bet. It is commonly featured in the betting lines for sports such as football (soccer), hockey, futsal, and water polo. This wager is placed on the combined total number of goals or points scored by both teams in a match. The “Over 2.25” market is effectively split into two parts — Over 2 and Over 2.5 — with the stake divided equally between them. If three or more goals are scored, the bet wins in full; if exactly two, half the stake is refunded and half loses.
Features of the designation
“Total Over 2.25” consists of two possible total bets: “Over 2” and “Over 2.5”. Therefore, when determining the final outcome of the wager, the total stake amount is divided into two equal parts.
Possible outcomes of “Total Over 2.25”
The “Over 2.25” wager provides for several possible outcomes (using a hockey match as an example):
Win: If at the end of the game the final score includes at least 3 goals in total (for example – 2:1, 1:2, 2:2).
Loss: If, by the end of the match, both teams together scored no more than one goal.
Full refund: Occurs if the match is officially declared canceled (without awarding a technical victory).
Partial refund: The bookmaker refunds half of the stake amount if both teams together score exactly 2 goals (possible scores: 0:2, 2:0, 1:1).
