Handicap (incl.overtime) in Basketball
When betting on a handicap market that “includes overtime,” the handicap is applied to the final score of the game after any potential overtime periods.
In other words, the handicap is calculated based on the total points scored by each team throughout the entire game, including any overtime periods.
For example, if the handicap is Team A -5.5 points, and the final score is:
– Team A 90, Team B 85 (regulation time)
– Team B scores 10 points in overtime, making the final score Team A 100, Team B 95
The handicap would be applied to the final score of 100-95. If Team A’s score minus the handicap (-5.5) is still higher than Team B’s score, then Team A would cover the handicap.
In this case, Team A’s adjusted score would be 100 – 5.5 = 94.5, and Team B’s score is 95, so Team B would cover the handicap.
