The notation “Under 1.5” refers to a Total Under bet. It means that the total number of goals or points scored by both teams in a match must be no more than one for the wager to win. If two or more are scored, the bet loses. This market is commonly offered by bookmakers in betting lines for team sports such as football (soccer), hockey, futsal, and water polo.
Possible outcomes of “Total Under 1.5”

Refund: *Refund on a “Total Under 1.5” bet is not provided by bookmakers. However, the bookmaker may return the stake to the bettor if the sporting event is officially canceled and no team is awarded a technical defeat.
