How to wager on totals:

Wagering on the total of a game is very simple. All you are betting on is whether or not the final score will go "over" or "under" the total posted by the sportsbook.

This is how the money line would be displayed visually:
(the way you will see it on your computer screen when placing a bet):

   Moneyline      Total
501      Giants      -3      -155         Over 35      
502      Cowboys      +3      +135         Under 35      

The total of a game is always posted on the same line as the favorite. So what these lines tell you is that the total in the Giants, Cowboys game is 35 points.

If you bet over the total and the final score is:

GIANTS 21
COWBOYS 17


Total = 38
You would win your wager.
GIANTS 19
COWBOYS 14


Total = 33
You would lose your wager.
GIANTS 21
COWBOYS 14


Total = 35
You would push* your bet.
*A push means that, taking the point spread into account, the game was a tie. In the case of a push all funds are returned to you. your wager plus the juice.

Conversely, if you bet UNDER the total:

If you bet under the total and the final score is:

GIANTS 21
COWBOYS 17


Total = 38
You would lose your wager.
GIANTS 19
COWBOYS 14


Total = 33
You would win your wager.
GIANTS 21
COWBOYS 14


Total = 35
You would push* your bet.


NOTE: The normal 110/100 juice applies to totals wagering except when otherwise noted.
