An '''under''' is a bet on the combined number of points or goals scored by both competing teams being less than a set amount. The under and [[over]] make up both sides of the [[total]] [[betting market]]. In order to win a bet on the under both competing teams must combine for less points than the set total. The other side of the total is known as the [[over]].
Bets on the under are usually not popular amongst casual sportsbettors as cheering against scoring plays can be unpleasant.
== Example ==
The total for the NFL match below between the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens is set at 44.5. A bettor who wagers on the under would win if both teams combine for 44 or less points. A final score of 24For example if the Patriots were to win 21-17 Patriots 16 there would yield a win on be 37 combined points and the underwould win.
