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?

Yo, solid points on Bet365 and Pinnacle, but I’m kinda freaking out over my recent run with over/under bets. Been digging into some platforms for niche stuff like ultimate frisbee, and I gotta say, Betway’s been a lifesaver for catching decent lines on smaller tournaments. Their odds move fast, though, so I’m stressing about timing. I stick to 1% of my bankroll per bet to avoid wiping out, especially since frisbee totals can be wild—one windy game and you’re toast. Anyone else sweating these markets on Betway or another spot?
 
Solid breakdown, marcrealty, especially on Pinnacle’s low margins and Bet365’s quick lines. For over/under bets, I’ve been leaning hard into Betway lately, particularly for niche markets like field hockey, which is getting some buzz with the Olympics vibe in the air. Their lines for these smaller sports are decent, but yeah, you gotta pounce fast before they shift. I’m strict with my bankroll—1% per bet, no exceptions, because one bad call in a low-scoring game can sting. I also like 1xBet for these markets; they cover a ton of obscure events and their totals are often priced better than the big names. Anyone else hunting value in these Olympic-adjacent sports?
