How “Team to Win All Quarters – Yes” Works
In basketball sports betting, the “Yes | Team to Win All Quarters” market predicts whether one team will win every quarter of the game (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th).
A basketball game has four quarters:
1st Quarter
2nd Quarter
3rd Quarter
4th Quarter
To win this bet:
- Your selected team must score more points than the opponent in every single quarter.
Even if the team wins the game overall, the bet loses if they fail to win all quarters.
Example 1: Bet Wins
Match: Los Angeles Lakers vs Chicago Bulls
| Quarter | Lakers | Bulls | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 30 | 24 | Lakers |
| 2nd | 28 | 26 | Lakers |
| 3rd | 27 | 20 | Lakers |
| 4th | 25 | 23 | Lakers |
Result:
- Lakers won all 4 quarters
- Bet: Yes – Team to win all quarters
Bet Wins
Example 2: Bet Loses
Match: Golden State Warriors vs Dallas Mavericks
| Quarter | Warriors | Mavericks | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 32 | 25 | Warriors |
| 2nd | 27 | 27 | Draw |
| 3rd | 29 | 26 | Warriors |
| 4th | 24 | 21 | Warriors |
Result:
- One quarter ended in a draw
Bet Loses
Even though the Warriors won the match, they did not win every quarter.
Why Bookmakers Offer This Market
This bet has higher odds because it is difficult for a team to dominate all four quarters.
Even strong teams in leagues like the National Basketball Association often lose or draw at least one quarter.
That is why odds for this market can range from:
- 3.00 – 8.00+
depending on the strength difference between teams.
