In SportyBet, “1X2 & Total Under 4.5” is a combination bet that involves predicting both the outcome of the match and the total number of goals scored. Here’s a breakdown of what it means:

Explanation of “1X2 & Total Under 4.5”:

• 1X2: This part of the bet refers to predicting the match result.
  • 1: The home team wins.
  • X: The match ends in a draw.
  • 2: The away team wins.
• Total Under 4.5: This part of the bet means that the total number of goals scored by both teams combined must be less than 4.5 (i.e., 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 goals in total).

Combined Condition:

To win this bet, both conditions must be met:

1. Your prediction for the match outcome (1, X, or 2) must be correct.
2. The total number of goals scored in the match must be less than 4.5.

Example Scenarios:

1. Bet Placed: Home win (1) & Total Under 4.5.
   • Final Score: 2-1: You win the bet because the home team won, and the total number of goals (3) is under 4.5.
   • Final Score: 3-2: You lose the bet because, although the home team won, the total number of goals (5) exceeds 4.5.
2. Bet Placed: Draw (X) & Total Under 4.5.
   • Final Score: 1-1: You win the bet because the match ended in a draw, and the total number of goals (2) is under 4.5.
   • Final Score: 2-2: You win the bet because it ended in a draw, and the total number of goals (4) is under 4.5.

Why Use This Bet Type?

• Higher Odds: Combination bets like “1X2 & Total Under 4.5” generally offer higher odds than simple 1X2 or total goals bets because both conditions must be correct.
• Strategic Betting: It’s useful when you believe a match will have a specific outcome with fewer total goals (e.g., a close, low-scoring game).

Key Points:

• Risk and Reward: This bet has a higher risk than betting on just the 1X2 or total goals alone, but it can offer greater returns.
• Research Required: To make an informed bet, look at the teams’ recent performances, scoring trends, and defensive records to see if a low-scoring game is likely.

Combining 1X2 and Total Under 4.5 is a popular bet for matches where you expect a winner but don’t anticipate a high number of goals.
