## Tusker betting example: Tusker vs Kenya Police

Say you stake (the money you bet) KSh 50 on [under 2.5 goals](https://oddsclass.com/learn/under_2_5_goals/). This bet wins if the match has 0, 1 or 2 goals.

| Final score | Total goals | Under 2.5 result |
|---|---|---|
| 0–0 | 0 | Wins |
| 1–0 | 1 | Wins |
| 1–1 | 2 | Wins |
| 2–1 | 3 | Loses |

The odds are 1.70 (example odds). If the match ends 1–0, you get KSh 50 × 1.70 = KSh 85. Your profit is KSh 35. If the match ends 2–1, there are three goals. You lose your KSh 50.
