What does a three-way total mean in football
A three-way total is an option to bet on all game indicators in a match (goals, corners, fouls, etc.), in which 3 outcomes are possible relative to a certain numerical value (over, exactly, under), which is always taken as a whole (3.0, 5.0, 10.0, etc.). Half totals (4.5, 9.5, 12.75, etc.) do not apply to this bet selection.
A three-way total, just like a regular TB or TM, indicates the number of certain actions in an event. The difference lies in the fact that the standard one provides for a return, but the three-way one does not.
It is not difficult to find this type of bet in the bookmaker line.
In football, the three-way total applies not only to goals, but also to corners, yellow cards, fouls, etc. Also, this type of bet is often practiced in tennis for games, hockey and other sports.
Individual three-way total
It has the same properties as a simple three-way, but it only applies to one team. That is, if you play on 3Way there are more teams (2), then in the case of three or more goals of this team, the bet will play safely, but if you score less, you will lose.
To bet on a three-way total (also called a three-way total or 3way) bookmakers most often provide football. Sometimes, of course, such a bet on 3 outcomes of the total can be found in the lines of some betting shops and on other sports, such as hockey or basketball, but the high performance in these sports disciplines does not make betting on a three-way total attractive.
Helpful Hints
To play and win, you need to carefully analyze the teams on which this type of bet is made. For example, if a club shows good statistics of goals scored throughout the season and has excellent motivation to win (for example: the struggle for the European Cup zone), then in this case it is possible to play for a three-way total more (2 or 3) without a doubt. However, there are teams that are not particularly active in attack throughout the match. It is best to bet on such bets – a three-way total less.
Factors to consider when analyzing a match:
- Team line-ups (key players);
- History of personal meetings;
- Weather (rain, snow, wind, etc. can greatly affect the performance of teams);
- Team style (attacking or defensive);
- Motivation.
Individual total in bets
An individual three-way total is a bet on the number of game indicators (goals, corners, etc.) of one team with a probability of three outcomes of the bet: over, under, equal (namely, relative to the indicators of a particular selected team – 1 (hosts) or 2 (aways) )).
There are enough teams in football that quite consistently show approximately the same total per match. So, choosing an individual 3way for a bet, the player must understand which team he chose:
There are such sports teams that rarely score more than 1 goal per match. (Usually, these are outsiders of the championships, for example, Crotone, Eibar, Dijon, etc.). Accordingly, in a game with the participation of just such a team, it is necessary to choose an individual three-way total less than 2.
There are also enough teams that in the vast majority of their games can boast of scoring at least 2 goals per match. (Usually these are the favorites of the championships, for example, Bayern, Liverpool, Ajax, etc.). By choosing one of these, you can bet on an individual three-way total OVER 1 or over 2.
Paying attention to the patterns of goals scored by a certain team, you can successfully catch a bet with a good odds above three on the option EXACTLY in a three-way total. (These are usually teams with flashy attacking players, for example, Liverpool have scored two goals in six of their 14 away matches in the Premier League.)
Among other things, in betting on an individual three-original total, a rather interesting option is the game on corners in football.
Individual three-way total on corners – what is it?
In some events, especially large-scale and large ones, bookmakers usually offer extended painting in their lines. It is in popular matches that you can most often find the opportunity to bet on an individual three-original total.
Experienced bettors and professional cappers advise making such a choice for betting in favor of a low-attacking team that plays against a motivated favorite. So, the outsider will obviously spend most of the match in his half of the field, there will be few attacks, which means fewer crosses and crosses into the penalty area – as a result, a minimum of corners.
It is very tempting to bet on the option “Exactly” to a certain value (for example, for an outsider, there may be 2 corners), because the odds for the exact value are always higher, which means that the potential profit is greater. However, you can also play it safe by taking, for example, an individual three-way total over 1 or under 3, for example. This may reduce the risks, but the potential profit will be a little less.
