What is the Over/Under bet? It is specified on the BK8 odds board with the symbol O/U, also known as the Over-Under bet. Players predict the total number of goals in a football match by betting over or under based on the number initially given by the bookmaker.
Learn about what an over/under bet.
Over/Under (abbreviated O/U) is one of the most popular types of bets in football betting. Over/Under bets are based on the total number of goals (or cards, corners) scored in a match.
The bookie will then give a specific prediction number to determine what the over/under bet is. The player’s task is to bet that the actual total will be higher (Over) or lower (Under) than the bookie’s prediction, specifically:
- Over: Bet on the total number of goals (cards, corners) greater than the odds given by BK8.
- Under: Bet on the total number of goals being less than the odds initially provided by the bookmaker.
- If the total number of goals is exactly equal to the bookmaker’s odds, the bet result will be a Draw.

Penalty cards in over/under betting
Betting on penalty cards is a side bet in the over/under bet. Betting on penalty cards will not be based on the score of the football match but will depend entirely on the number of penalty cards drawn by the referee in the match. That is, the player must predict the number of red cards and yellow cards that appear in a match.
Before that, the dealer will give a certain number of penalty cards. The player’s task is to choose over or under based on the score that the dealer initially gave.
When you win, you can calculate the reward you receive based on the amount you bet and the bookmaker’s odds using the following formula:
- Bonus = Bet amount x Bonus rate of BK8 bookmaker.
