Sportsbooks That Offer Sides And/Or Totals In Which Overtime Does Not Count

[HacheMan]

Any of you guys seen this anywhere?

Already this young NBA season I've lost 3Unders on totals which would have easily won if not for OT, with 1 of them going still winning until Double OT.

It's to be expected I know, but the season just started and these 3 already is the difference in me being up 20+ units or even as I am right now......

never seen it before...

only regulation hockey lines are available.....i dont know of any baskets or foots

 

[HacheMan]

So why hasn't a book stepped up to offer this as something unique?

How could it hurt them either way since bettors will be losing wagers that they could have won if OT was an option, just like they lose when OT is an option.

Unless, of course, Unders are indeed the wiser wagers vs overs & the books know that having OT included gives the house just a slight advantage.....

they should offer OT protection, for an extra cent or two. would people lay -112 and not have to worry about OT? :think2:

its 50/50 youre just as likely to have the "lucky" side......its all breaks about even in the long run

Exactly what I'm trying to say.

So why isn't it offered then?

 

[Iceman]

Because if they did they would have too lower their totals for every game and even though there would be a logical way to figure this out so it would still be the same, I don't see a book stepping up to something unique.

I don't see a book stepping up to something unique.

If the demand is there, why wouldn't one?

My guess, then, is simply lack of demand

Only other possibility is that irrational fear of the unorthodox exceeds how much they welcome profit

if you bet mostly unders it can never even out in the long run ever.
