Is it smart to bet on a team and their team total in the same game?

I've done it countless times on football whenever the betbuilder or SGP feature is available for the match, and it's honestly a decent play to make if the favorites are too juiced in the match winner market.

It's not something that should be played most of the time, as not all favorites like to score a lot, but it can be a solid alternative to boost the odds of the winner's market or 1x2, knowing that the favored team would prefer to score more.

I even see a few bettors who do it the other way around by adding a very high under from the total's market to get a better boost.

I bet on a team to win when I know that they should win but if the odds for the team to win is too small I bet on the team to score goals that has odds higher than the team to win also I can bet on a team to score when they are facing a team strong enough to beat them.
If you are betting on a team and their goals in different games it is a smart thing but smart may not give you a winning ticket.
I have bet on a team that scores lots of goals to score over 1.5 rather than them winning but they won but did not score more than one goal.

So it makes me wonde, is it really a good idea to bet on both at the same time? Or are we just doubling the same risk without realizing it?

Uhmm people do bet on both because of the higher odd it attracts.

After checking the strength and performance in their last meeting, you can easily know if that outcome can be possible. Although, I rarely bet on this type of combo, but it sure pays off most times. However, the only disadvantage is that, one option can change the fate of the game.

I’ve been noticing something in sports betting, when you bet on a certain team and also take their team total, it often feels like they go hand in hand.

For example, if you bet on a team to cover the spread (ATS), you probably believe they’ll control the pace and score high. But when that team ends up losing the game or not covering, their team total usually misses too.

.sometimes it's just safe to bet on the team to win without adding any point spread to it, because there are times that they cna just score one goal through out the entire game, this option is usually for bettors that are looking for high value odds. The more you add to the wi n option your chances of winning only gets lower. But the most important is not about the option it's about betting responsibly

yes you are doubling your risks just bet on one depending on where you are confident they say if you are confident with the offense of your team bet on the total and if you are confident with their all around performance then bet on the spread

Covering spread and reaching a certain total score is a different event. There’s a time that your bet will not cover the spread but the total score reach or vice versa because the score of the opponent team is crucial on one of your bet.

In able for this bet to satisfy what you are saying, you should bet only about a single team performance that doesn’t relate to the other team score.
