Overtime, draws and half-point lines
The main wagers all include any outcomes in overtime periods, while fourth-quarter bets end at the final buzzer. To take one example, a three-way line bet has three possible outcomes: the home team wins, the away team wins, or the match ends in a draw. Because lines often include a half-point, there's no chance of a score pushing at the spread line.
Parlays
For those who like to wager on multiple games at once, parlays are another popular option. These combo bets take several independent wagers — with each individual selection counted as a leg — and group them together. Generally, the more teams in the parlay, the bigger the potential winnings — though the risk of losing the wager is also higher.
Overtime in FIBA games
If the score is even at the end of the fourth quarter, the game continues into five-minute overtime periods until there is a winner.
Does overtime count? Basketball markets
| Full-game spread, total and moneyline | Overtime counted |
|---|---|
| Player props | Overtime counted |
| Second-half bets | Overtime counted at most sportsbooks |
| Fourth-quarter bets | Overtime not counted, bet ends with the quarter |
| Three-way line | Draw is a separate outcome |
| Example: ₦10,000 stake on -2.5, team wins by 3 in overtime | Bet wins, overtime points count |
| Example: ₦10,000 stake on +2.5, team loses by 2 | Bet wins |
| Line ending in a half-point | No push possible |
