Total Maximum Consecutive Points
is a basketball betting market where you predict the highest number of points a team will score in a row without the opponent scoring during a game.
In simple terms, it measures the longest scoring run by either team in a match.
Bookmakers usually offer several ranges such as:
- 6+ consecutive points
- 8+ consecutive points
- 10+ consecutive points
- 12+ consecutive points
- 15+ consecutive points
You bet on whether a team (or the match) will reach a specific scoring run.
How It Works
In basketball, teams often go on scoring runs when they score multiple times before the opponent scores.
Example scoring sequence:
Team A: 3-pointer → 3 points
Team A: Layup → 2 points
Team A: Free throws → 2 points
Total run = 7 consecutive points
If the opponent scores next, the run stops.
Example 1
Game: Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors
Bet Market: Maximum Consecutive Points – Over 10.5
Game Sequence:
- Warriors score 3
- Warriors score 2
- Warriors score 3
- Warriors score 3
Total = 11 consecutive points
Bet wins because the run exceeded 10.5 points.
Example 2
Game: Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat
Bet Market: Maximum Consecutive Points – Under 12.5
Game runs:
- Celtics longest run: 10 points
- Heat longest run: 8 points
Bet wins because no team scored 13 or more points in a row.
