Meaning of Winner (Incl. Overtime and Penalties)
This betting market means you are betting on which team will eventually win the match, including:
- Regular time (80 minutes)
- Overtime / Extra time
- Penalties (if needed)
Your bet remains active until the final winner is determined — no matter how long it takes.
It is not limited to the 80 minutes of normal play.
Example Scenario
Let’s take a Rugby World Cup knockout match:
Match:
England vs France
Market: “Winner (incl. overtime and penalties)”
Example 1:
- Final Score after 80 mins: England 20 – 20 France (Draw)
- The match goes to overtime, and then penalty kicks.
- Final result after penalties: England win.
If you bet on England, you win.
If you bet on France, you lose.
Example 2:
- Final Score after 80 mins: France 25 – 20 England
- No overtime needed, France win in regular time.
Bet on France wins
Bet on England loses
Difference Between “Winner (Incl. Overtime)” and “Full-Time Result”
| Market | What Counts | When Your Bet Ends |
|---|---|---|
| Full-Time Result (80 mins) | Only the regular 80 minutes | After full-time whistle |
| Winner (incl. Overtime and Penalties) | 80 mins + Overtime + Penalties | When a final winner is declared |
Example: If you back England to win Full-Time Result and the game ends 20–20, you lose (it’s a draw).
But if you back England in Winner (Incl. Overtime & Penalties) and they win in extra time, your bet wins.
Betting Tips
- Use for Knockout Matches:
This market is best for tournament elimination rounds (World Cup, Six Nations knockouts, etc.) where there must be a winner. - Analyze Team Depth:
In overtime, fitter teams or stronger benches perform better. Back teams known for endurance and discipline (e.g. New Zealand, South Africa). - Avoid Close Odds in Finals:
Finals are often tight — instead of “Winner (Incl. Overtime)”, consider Double Chance or Handicap +3.5 if unsure. - Weather and Fatigue Factors:
Wet weather or recent matches can drain teams, making overtime riskier. A fresher team may edge out in extra time. - Check Competition Rules:
Not every rugby competition uses penalties or overtime — some league games can end in a draw. Always verify the match rules.
