The notation “Under 2.75” is one of the variations of the Asian Total Under bet. It is commonly featured by bookmakers in betting lines for team sports such as football (soccer), hockey, futsal, water polo, and occasionally even chess.
The “Under 2.75” market means that the total number of goals or points scored during the match must be fewer than three for the bet to win in full. The wager is split into two parts — Under 2.5 and Under 3. If exactly three goals are scored, half of the stake is refunded and half loses. If two or fewer are scored, the bet wins entirely.
Feature of “Total Under 2.75”
A quarter “Asian Total” consists of two fractional bets. Therefore, “Under 2.75” includes two components: “Under 2.5” and “Under 3.” When settling the results of a “Under 2.75” wager, the outcomes of each individual component bet are calculated separately.
Possible outcomes of “Under 2.75”
When placing a “Under 2.75” bet, a capper can expect one of three possible outcomes (using a hockey match as an example):
Win: Occurs when, after the third period, the scoreboard shows 0:0, 0:1, 1:0, 2:0, 0:2, or 1:1.
Loss: Occurs when, over the course of three periods, the teams score a combined total of 4 or more goals.
Partial refund with loss: Occurs if exactly 3 goals are scored in the match (“Under 2.5” loses, while “Under 3” is refunded).
