AFCON Betting in Kenya: Markets & Tips
Over/Under betting lets you bet on the total number of goals (or points) in a game, rather than who wins. The most common line is Over/Under 2.5 goals. This guide explains how the market works and how to read the lines.

How over/under works
The bookmaker sets a line, for example 2.5 goals. You bet Over (three or more goals) or Under (two or fewer). The half-goal line means there is no draw on the bet.
A worked example
You back Over 2.5 at 1.90 for KES 100. If the match has three or more goals, you return KES 190. Two goals or fewer and the bet loses.
Reading the lines
- Lower lines (1.5) are easier to go Over but pay less.
- Higher lines (3.5) pay more for Over but are harder.
- Check both teams’ scoring and conceding form before choosing.

Frequently asked questions
What does Over/Under 2.5 mean?
Over 2.5 wins if there are three or more goals; Under 2.5 wins if there are two or fewer. The half-goal removes the possibility of a tie on the bet.
Do own goals count?
Yes, all goals in normal time count toward the total, including own goals.
Does over/under include extra time?
Usually it settles on 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Check the bookmaker rules for cup ties.
Which line is best?
It depends on the teams. Lower lines are safer but pay less; higher lines pay more but are harder. Use recent form to decide.
Can I combine over/under with BTTS?
Yes. Many players combine goal markets like over/under and BTTS in the same accumulator.
