“Away By 26+ / Win Margin Including Overtime”
- Away By 26+ means you are betting that the away team will win the game by 26 points or more.
- Win Margin (Including Overtime) means the bet counts all points scored in the game, including any points in overtime.
So, if the away team wins by exactly 26 points or more, your bet wins.
If the away team wins by 25 or fewer points, ties, or loses, your bet loses.
How It Differs from Other Bets
| Bet Type | Example | Win Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Away By 26+ | Away team wins by 26+ points | Away wins by 26+ points (incl. OT) |
| Away By 1-10 | Away team wins by 1-10 points | Away wins by 1-10 points |
| Spread (-25.5) | Away team -25.5 points | Away wins by 26+ points (similar) |
Key: Win margin bets are more specific than point spreads. You must hit the exact margin range.
Example
Match: Team A (Home) vs Team B (Away)
Bet: Away By 26+ (incl. OT)
- Final Score 1: Team A 80 – 110 Team B → Win (Away wins by 30)
- Final Score 2: Team A 85 – 110 Team B → Win (Away wins by 25) → Bet loses
- Final Score 3: Team A 90 – 100 Team B → Lose (Away wins by 10)
- Final Score 4: Team A 95 – 120 Team B → Win (Away wins by 25) → Bet loses
(Always check the margin falls inside the 26+ range.)
