01 Definition
Goal line betting is an Asian handicap-style version of over/under totals. It uses quarter-goal lines (e.g., 2.25, 2.75) to reduce the chance of a push and offer more granular positions. When you bet a quarter line, your stake is split between the two nearest half lines.
02 Example
Goal line Over 2.25 means half your stake goes on Over 2.0 and half on Over 2.5. If there are exactly 2 goals, you lose half your bet (Under 2.5 portion) and push on the other (Over 2.0 portion). Three or more goals = full win.
03 Why It Matters
Goal line markets offer more precise pricing than traditional over/under, which only uses half-goal lines. For professional bettors, the ability to split risk on quarter lines can optimize value capture significantly.
04 How thetipster.xyz Uses This
Our signals primarily target standard over/under lines (1.5, 2.5 etc.) for clarity, but we also detect value on goal line markets when the quarter-line pricing offers better EV than the standard totals market.
