• Outright Betting

  A bet on the overall outcome of a competition, such as the league winner or top goalscorer, rather than a single match.

• Over/Under (Totals)

  A bet on whether a combined total, most often goals or points, finishes above or below a line the bookmaker sets.

• Overround

  The amount by which the implied probabilities of all outcomes in a market add up to more than 100%, representing the bookmaker's margin.
