In the “Will There Be Overtime?” market, bettors have the option to bet on whether a particular basketball game will go into overtime or not. This is a simple bet where bettors choose between “Yes” or “No”.
When Does a Basketball Game Go Into Overtime?
In the event of a tie at the end of regulation time in a basketball game, overtime is required to determine the winner.
Overtime consists of an additional 5-minute period, where only the last minute is timed.
If the tie persists after the first overtime, additional 5-minute overtimes will be played until a winner is determined. A 1-minute break is taken between each overtime period.
