as for the other topic you mentioned, the total passes bet, i don't think it's a logical bet to play. i don't think anyone would take this bet with a logical reason and analysis behind it. who can know that? some teams pass more than others, that's true. a team with a counterattacking style will probably pass less than a team that plays with a spread-out formation, but this can change from match to match.
i’ve never analyzed passing statistics in detail before. but for there to be approximately 900 successful passes in a match, there would need to be 10 passes per minute, and that seems a bit challenging. because in the premier league, the ball is “in play” for an average of 55 minutes in a 90-minute match. we’ll see how many passes there are at the end of the match.
If we have to consider teams that stays dominant all game, teams like Arsenal for the premier league and Barcelona in the laliga, we would find these passes to be some worth an easy bet. I had to go look over the West Ham United 1:5 Chelsea fixture on the passes since it’s where I noticed this bet and they did well above 900 passes. Chelsea was able to give 577 passes while West Ham United had 397. That’s a total of 969 passes all together. An over 500 pass with at least 1.50 odd would do greatly for a team.
