A common phrase littered throughout the rules at most sportsbooks:<\/p>\n
All bets include overtime unless otherwise stated.<\/p>\n
Popular bets like full game point spreads, totals, moneylines and player props all include overtime. It can be a blessing or a curse, depending on what you bet.<\/p>\n
There are plenty of bets that do not include overtime, but they should be labeled clearly, like excludes OT or 60 minutes only.<\/p>\n
Anything else you can assume includes all scoring in overtime.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Lets dive into a few specific scenarios.<\/p>\n
A three-way line means that there are three options Team A wins, Team B wins, or it ends in a tie.<\/p>\n
Three-way lines are popular in sports like soccer and hockey that are low scoring and often end in ties.<\/p>\n
In these markets, overtime does not count toward your bet because the bets will be settled after regulation. If you bet the Bruins at +110 in the game below and it goes to OT, you lose because going to OT was an option to bet in this market.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In soccer tournaments, where overtime actually needs to be played, youll lose a bet on the three-way line if it gets there because the first 90 minutes ended in a draw.<\/p>\n
That doesnt mean overtime wont count in all hockey or soccer bets. Its only the three-way line, or anything else labeled as 60 minutes only or 90 minutes only.<\/p>\n
A hockey player prop will count overtime shots on goal, for example.<\/p>\n
Second half bets at most sportsbooks will count overtime.<\/p>\n
Say you bet the Raptors -2 in the second half, and they lose that half by one point but the game goes to overtime. Then Toronto wins by five points in OT youd win the bet because<\/p>\n
PointsBet says in its house rules that overtime does not count for second half bets in football, but it does in basketball. So check your sportsbooks rules.<\/p>\n
If you bet a team to cover the fourth quarter, that bet will not count overtime. It ends at the conclusion of the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
