Moneyline / Match Winner (Full Time) — Many full-game moneyline markets are settled including overtime if the market description says "match winner (including overtime)". Alternatively, some "match result" markets are explicitly advertised as "90 minutes" or "regulation time" and will ignore overtime. Example: if you bet the favorite on a game that is tied at the end of regulation and loses in overtime, the settlement depends on whether the market included overtime.

Spread / Point Total (Totals) — Spreads and totals are often settled including overtime for sports that commonly have overtime (e.g., basketball, American football) when the market is for "final result" and the sport’s normal competition uses overtime to decide games. For certain soccer markets marketed as "90 minutes", extra time and penalty shootouts are excluded; for other soccer markets defined as "match result", extra time may be included.

Partial-period bets (1st half, 3rd quarter, etc.) — These bets are almost always settled on regulation for that specific period and do not include overtime. For example, a "1st half" wager is decided at the half-time whistle, not after overtime.

Player and Team Props — Whether player stats in overtime count depends on market wording. In many cases, statistics accumulated during overtime count toward props that are not explicitly limited to regulation. However, for certain sports and providers, overtime stats may be excluded. Always check the prop description.

Futures and Season Markets — Season-long markets (champion, MVP) are usually unaffected by overtime on individual fixtures, but competitions with unusual tiebreakers or cancelled fixtures can change qualification scenarios. Such markets are settled per the operator’s stated clause and official competition result.

Parlays / Accumulators — If one leg of a parlay goes to overtime, the leg is settled according to the same rules that would apply if it were a single bet. A voided leg may reduce the parlay; a loss in overtime can cause the whole parlay to fail if the market included overtime.

Example 1 — Basketball moneyline: You place a bet on Team A to win the game. The match is tied at the end of regulation and Team B wins in overtime. For most basketball markets sold as a "final result", overtime is included, so your bet would lose.

Example 2 — Soccer 90-minute market: You bet on Team X to win in "90 minutes". The match is tied after 90 minutes, but Team X wins after extra time. Because your market was explicitly for 90 minutes (regulation), the bet is a push if it was originally a tie or is settled as a loss/win depending on the operator’s defined outcome. Many bookmakers return stakes on draws for 90-minute bets — but check the terms.

Example 3 — Player goal prop: You back a player to score anytime. The player scores in extra time. If the market counts "anytime" goals including extra time, the bet wins. If the market excludes extra time, it loses. Market definitions determine the result.

Penalty shootouts: Goals scored during penalty shootouts are commonly not counted for goal-scorer props or statistical markets — they may only count towards the match winner. However, this will vary by operator and market wording.

Abandoned or postponed matches: If a game is abandoned before completion, most operators have rules that define how bets are settled (void, suspended, or settled on official result if replayed). Overtime that never occurs because a match was cancelled will typically not be considered.

Different formats: Some competitions use golden-goal, sudden-death, or multiple extra periods. How these affect settlements depends on the bookmaker’s market definition and the official competition result.

Official time and score: Bets are generally settled based on the official competition timekeepers and result providers used by the bookmaker. Discrepancies are resolved per the operator’s stated data sources.

Read the market description carefully — look for phrases like "90 minutes", "including overtime", or "full time (incl. extra time)".

Check the rules or FAQ section of the bookmaker for their general settlement policy on overtime and shootouts.

When in doubt, contact customer support or avoid markets where the inclusion of overtime is unclear.

Q: Does overtime always count in settling a bet?
A: No. Whether overtime counts depends on the specific market wording and the bookmaker’s rules. Some markets explicitly include overtime; others are limited to regulation.

Q: Do penalty shootout goals count for goal-scorer bets?
A: Often they do not, but practices differ. Many operators exclude shootout goals from individual scoring statistics, so check the market wording.

Q: What happens to a parlay if one game goes to overtime?
A: The parlay leg is settled using the same overtime rules that apply to a single bet on that game. If a leg is voided, the parlay may be reduced accordingly.

Q: Where can I find the exact rule for a market?
A: Look in the bookmaker’s rules or the market information box. If still unclear, ask support before betting.
