As mentioned by another poster, it’s a gambling term. But when someone asks “what’s the over/under on…”, you’re kind of asking “what’s the number where there’s a 50% chance of it being either higher or lower.”
With that said, it doesn’t really make sense in this context, imo. They could have just used “chance”
I’m not sure why I used it, I don’t even know if I’ve used it in a real conversation. Felt good in the moment I guess? Maybe it was the memory of his failed casino that inspired me?
First time seeing it for me. Do you know how to interpret it?
it’s a gambling term.
For example with sports. Somebody sets a predicted score for a particular match, and then you place a bet if it’s over or under that.
