Conclusion:

In other words, the Over 2.5 / Even goals strategy can bring us a double winning for the results with over and even goals (2-2, 3-1, 4-0, 1-3, 0-4; results with 6 goals; results with 8 goals), we only lose the entire sum for results such as 1-0 and 0-1 and we do not lose anything for the rest of the scored.

Is it worth the risk of hoping for outcomes with 4, 6 or 8 goals?

It is clearly that the situations with 6 or 8 are rarer, but the results with 4 goals scored happen quite often. One of the most common soccer results is of 2-1, but this is the first step to a final score of 4 goals. A result of 2-1 makes the team to attack for the tie and the other to look for the safe victory. The risk for results such as 1-0 and 0-1 is pretty high under the conditions in which we bet on odds of 2.10 at over 2.5 goals. This is the reason we said in the beginning that this strategy is based on knowledge and the bettor’s luck.

Good luck!
