What's a goal line bet?

A goal line bet gives you the opportunity to predict how many goals there will be in a  game. If you bet on over 2.5 goals, there would need to be three or more goals in the game for the bet to be a winner. Likewise, if you bet on under 2.5 goals, you’d need two or less goals in the game for the bet to be a winner.

The same logic applies to bets displayed in quarters, which are known as quarter-ball bets. In this case, if you bet on over 2.75 goals in a game, your stake is split between over 2.5 and over three goals. If there are three goals in the game, half your bet will be a winner (the 2.5 part). If there are four goals in the game, both halves of your bet will be winners. 

The table below shows examples of how goal line bets would be settled:
