So, today I wanted to mess around with this whole “under over predictions” thing. I’ve heard people talk about it, but never really gave it a shot myself. Figured, why not? Let’s dive in and see what happens.

First off, I had to pick something to actually make predictions on. Since I was feeling a bit lazy, I just went with sports. Yeah, I know, super original. But hey, it’s easy to find data on, and there’s always some game going on somewhere, right?
Next, I needed to decide what kind of “under over” I was even looking at. In sports, it usually means the total score of a game, like whether it’ll be under or over a certain number set by some bookie. Makes sense, I guess. So I picked a few basketball games that were happening later and wrote down the over/under numbers that some website was showing.
Now came the “fun” part – making my own predictions. To be honest, I didn’t really have a solid strategy. I looked at some recent scores of the teams playing, checked if any key players were injured, and kind of went with my gut feeling. For each game, I wrote down whether I thought the total score would be under or over the given number. My methods were not sophisticated at all.
- Game 1: Team A vs. Team B – Over/Under 215.5. My prediction: Over.
- Game 2: Team C vs. Team D – Over/Under 220.5. My prediction: Under.
- Game 3: Team E vs. Team F – Over/Under 210.5. My prediction: Over.
With my predictions down, all that was left was to wait for the games to actually happen. I kept checking the scores online every now and then, feeling a little thrill each time a team scored. It’s funny how invested you can get in something so random.
So, how did my predictions turn out? Well, let’s just say I’m not quitting my day job to become a professional sports gambler anytime soon.

- Game 1: Final score was 225. I guessed Over, so I got that one right!
- Game 2: Final score was 230. I went with Under, which means I messed that one up.
- Game 3: Final score was 218. Another Over, so I got this one right, too.
Two out of three isn’t terrible, I guess, especially considering I basically just winged it. I mean, it’s not like I was using some fancy algorithm or anything. This whole experience was more about having a bit of fun and seeing what this under/over thing was all about.
Honestly, it was kind of interesting, even though I wouldn’t say I’m suddenly an expert or anything. Maybe I’ll try it again sometime, but I definitely wouldn’t bet any serious money on it. It’s all just a game of chance, really, and that’s part of what makes it a little exciting, I suppose.
