A team total is a type of bet on how many points an individual team will score in a given match. A wager can be made whether one team's points will be over or under a set amount. Team totals should not be confused with [[total]]s, which is a bet on the combined score between both competing teams.
While team total [[betting market]]s are less common than [[moneyline]]s, [[spread]]s, and [[total]]s they are available at most [[sportsbook]]s that offer [[team prop]]s.
== How Team Totals Work ==
Both teams will have individual set team totals for their respective points. Bets can be placed on whether they will score more or less than that set amount.
In the example below the Arizona Cardinals' team total is set at 23.5. A bet on the Over 23.5 would win if Arizona scores 24 or more points. Consequently if Arizona scores less than 23 points the under would win. The amount of points scored by the other team does not affect the grading of a team total wager.

== Pushes ==
If a team scores the same amount of points as their team total then wagers on both the over and under will be graded a push. All initial risks will be refunded to the player's account. In the NBA match below if the Philadelphia 76ers score exactly 108 points then both over and under wagers on the team total will be graded a push.
