singleunder

singleunder is a term that refers to a situation in sports, particularly in betting contexts, where the total score of a game is expected to be below a certain predetermined number. This is the opposite of an "over" bet, where the total score is expected to be above that number. For example, in a basketball game, a betting line might be set at 200 points. A bet on singleunder would win if the combined score of both teams is 199 points or less.

The term is often used in over/under betting, a popular market in sports wagering. Bettors analyze various factors such as team performance, player injuries, defensive capabilities, and historical scoring trends to predict whether the total score will fall into the singleunder or over category. The specific number, or line, is determined by bookmakers based on their own analysis and the betting volume from the public. If a game ends with a total score exactly matching the line, it is typically considered a "push," and bets are refunded.
