Alright, jumping into this thread because I’ve got some thoughts on which bookmakers really shine when it comes to over/under bets. I’ve been messing around with these markets for years, and managing your bankroll properly can make or break you here. Let’s talk platforms and strategy.
First off, I’m a big fan of Bet365 for these bets. Their interface is clean, and they’re quick to post lines, which matters when you’re trying to catch a good number before it shifts. They’ve got a ton of games covered, from mainstream leagues like the NFL or Premier League to smaller markets like Danish handball or Aussie rugby. The key with over/unders is finding value, and Bet365’s odds are usually competitive enough to give you a shot at consistent profits if you’re disciplined. My approach? I stick to a flat betting unit—1-2% of my bankroll per bet, no matter how “sure” I feel. Chasing big swings on totals is a trap.
Pinnacle’s another one I rate highly. They’re known for sharp odds, and their low margins mean you’re not bleeding value every time you place a bet. If you’re serious about grinding out profits on over/unders, Pinnacle’s where you can stretch your bankroll further. I usually split my bets across a few games to spread risk—say, three bets at 1% each rather than dumping 3% on one match. Keeps things steady, especially when you hit a bad streak.
I’ve also dabbled with DraftKings, mostly for US sports. They’re solid for NBA and NHL totals because they offer a bunch of alternate lines. You can get creative, like betting under on a high-scoring NBA game when the public’s hammering the over. But their juice can be steep sometimes, so I’m careful not to overcommit. Rule of thumb: I never let any single bet go above 3% of my roll, even if the line looks juicy.
One thing I’ve learned across all these platforms—don’t get suckered by hot streaks or bad runs. Over/unders can feel like a rollercoaster, especially in sports like hockey or soccer where one fluke goal flips the outcome. I track every bet in a spreadsheet: stake, odds, result, and a quick note on why I made the pick. It’s nerdy, but it keeps me honest and stops me from revenge-betting after a loss. Also, shop around for lines. The difference between -110 and -105 adds up over months.
Betway’s worth a mention too. They’re not perfect, but their live betting for totals is smooth, and I’ve snagged some great in-play unders when a game starts slow. Just be cautious with live bets—easy to get reckless. I cap myself at one live bet per game, max.
That’s my take. Curious what you all think—any platforms I’m sleeping on for these markets?
