    Found this small post on another forum and found it very interesting
    according to my records the Scottish 3rd division is leading the way with an average of 3.36 goals per game then comes Norway Divsion 1, Norway Tippeligaen then the Dutch Ereedivision.

    Had a quick look around those leagues and he does seem to be right
    Scottish 3rd division seems to be goal heaven.
    Over 1.5 goals could prove a money spinner in these leagues

    Yeah I've noticed that the Iron Bru works a treat up there! So many poor defenders/goalkeepers, all the emphisis is on attack.

    Mike.

    It's generally games that will go inplay that have the full range of markets, even the championship games only have under/over 2.5.
    You can request that a particular market be added and if there's enough interest they will open a market. Sometimes there will be a total goals market instead of under/over 1.5 ect, and until recently total goals market was only 1% commission rather than 5% for 1.5.

    I'm probably spamming here, but I run a football stats website, and on it I've got the probabilities for under/over 1.5/2.5/3.5/4.5 goals calculated from results going back a few years.

    These probabilities have been calculated for a number of leagues, and they're
    also broken down by hometeam odds (eg the probability for over/unders are shown for games where the hometeams odds are 1.0 to 1.3, 1.31 to 1.5, etc).

    (links to other leagues are on the left)

    Apologies if ye consider this spam, but this might be useful for people who like to bet on over/unders.
