Futures Terms To Know

Over: Betting the over means you expect the player or team to get more than the prop stat listed.

Under: Betting the under means you expect the player or team to get less than the prop stat listed.

Push: When the final amount in a stat is equal to the prop total listed then the bet is a push. Sportsbooks return all wagers to bettors and the bet is neither won nor lost. No one wins here.

Hook: The sportsbook often adds a half-point (.5) to the end of the point spread or total. This is the hook. The hook eliminates the possibility of a push since there is no way to score half a point, yet.
