Hi everyone,

sorry for the stupid question but I don't understand the difference between under 2.5 and under 3 goals or is it the same?

Thank you, appreciate your help.

It is the same but there isn't an under 3 goal market.

Basically, it's less confusing to say "under/over 2.5" than to say, "under 3/over 2". I've been around a while but it would even trip me up after a few drinks. :)

Asian Handicaps.

There would be both an O/U 2.5 and O/U 3.0 (for which exactly 3 goals would be a push ie. your stake returned). Prices would be different.

Azn hcap markets have their fans on Betfair, often saw some decently sized bets matched there. Different market structure obviously, never touched it myself.

I can't even remember how they work. Never looked at them since my betting days but I suppose I should take a look. There's always more to be discovered. :)
