• IT2B 1.5 - 500 naira;
• IT2B 2 - 500 naira.

Possible scenarios:

• win - 'Las Palmas' scored 3 goals or more, payout: 1000 * 1.71 = 1710 naira;
• win IT2O 1.5 and refund IT2O 2 - guests scored exactly 2 goals, payout: 500 * 1.71 + 500 * 1.00 = 1355 naira;
• bets loss - 'Las Palmas' scored 1 goal or less.

An example of calculating the total Asian total: 1000 rnaira on a total of 2.75 less in the England Cup match 'Manchester United' - 'West Ham' with odds of 1.75, the bookmaker will divide into 2 markets:

• TM 2.5 - 500 naira;
• TM 3 - 500 naira.

Possible outcomes:
