"Initial guess" implies that the target might change after betting has started. This needs elaboration.

What if the wagered number matches the actual number? (That is, is neither "over" nor "under")
[edit]Using the example given in the article:
- "For example, in Super Bowl XXXIX, most Las Vegas casinos set the over-under for the score of the game at 46.0. A bettor could wager that the combined score of the two teams would be either more than or less than that number (as it happened, the combined score was 45, so anyone who had bet on 'under' won)."
What if the combined score had been 46? Wouldn't it make more sense to set the over/under target halfway between integers? (e.g, 45.5, 46.5, etc.) Captain Quirk (talk) 20:09, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
