That’s correct. From what I’ve read during my research on the over/under market, experts often say that the over is usually the public’s favorite pick. That’s why bookies tend to set the line in a way that makes the over look more attractive but in reality, it’s often a trap, and the game ends up going under.
AFAIR, the over has a lower winning percentage compared to the under. I don’t have the exact data to back it up right now, but that’s what I’ve consistently seen mentioned in betting discussions and analysis.
You are right about this, the overs usually looks more attractive to pick, the odds are very deceiving and you'd think that it's a very sure option. A lot of bettors are constantly being tricked by this system. Sometimes you can see a game that the odds given for a simple option like an over 1.5 is 1.14 but at the end up of the match both teams end up playing a goaless draw against each other, it goes beyond the odds
