Total Odd Goals Betting Market

«Total Odd Goals» bet is a wager that the total number of goals scored in a match (by one or both teams) will be an odd number. Odd numbers: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, etc.

Examples of match endings: 1:0, 3:2, 1:2, 2:3.

This type of bet is appealing for its simplicity: you’re not concerned with who wins or the exact score, just that the sum of goals is an odd number.

NOTE: Mathematically, 0 is an even number — just as even as 2 or 4. That means if a match ends 0-0, the total goals are even, not odd.

How Does Total Odd Goals Work?

The essence of this bet lies in its simplicity. If the total goals add up to an odd number (1, 3, 5, etc.), the «Odd» bet wins. If the game ends with an even number of goals (0, 2, 4, etc.), the «Even» bet wins.

For example, if a football match ends with a score of 2-1, the total number of goals is 3, which is an odd number. Therefore, a bet on Total Goals Odd would be a winner in this case.
