In most sports, bets on a match are calculated based on results during regular time. If additional halves or periods are held in a match, their results are not taken into account when settling bets.
Bets on a team advancing to the next stage are settled based on the results of regular and extra time.
What is considered regular time in football?
Two halves of 45 minutes plus injury time. Unlike in other sports, in football, the timer does not stop during fouls, substitutions and player injuries, so the refs can add a few minutes to the end of each half to make up for lost time. This is called injury time and is taken into account as part of regular time.
For example, if a team won by a goal during injury time, then it is considered to have won during regular time.
There is also extra time, which is not considered part of regular time. It can be added during playoff tournament matches. According to regulations, there must be a winner in a match or two-match competition. If regular time ends in a draw, then the referee adds an additional two halves of 15 minutes, followed by a penalty shootout. In some tournaments, instead of two extra halves, there is a penalty shootout immediately.
Goals during extra time do not count for bets on regular time.
We bet on a total greater than 2.5. Regular time ended with a score of 1:1, and the teams scored 1 more goal during extra time. The bet does not win because in the first two halves the teams only scored 2 goals.
What is regular time in hockey?
Three 20-minute periods. During pauses, the timer stops, so that the duration of the match does not exceed 60 minutes.
If there is no winner based on the match results, then the referee appoints extra time that is not included in regular time. Its duration depends on the type and stage of the tournament.
Overtime results are not taken into account when settling bets on the match.
In the regular stage of the KHL, overtime lasts 5 minutes. If no goals are scored, then there is a penalty shootout. In the KHL playoffs, the duration of extra time increases to 20 minutes, and the number is unlimited. Teams play until the first goal is scored.
What is regular time in basketball?
Four quarters. Their duration depends on the tournament: 12 minutes in the NBA, and 10 minutes in the VTB United League and Euroleague. During pauses, the timer stops, so there is no injury time in basketball.
If the match ends in a draw, the teams play an extra time of 5 minutes. The number of extra times is unlimited: new extra times begin until there is a winner.
In basketball, all bets are settled taking into account extra time.
You bet on a total over 220. Regular time ends with a score of 98:98, and in extra time one of the teams wins with a score of 116:114. The bet wins because the points in extra time are taken into account for the bet and added to the points scored during the regular quarters.
The settlement of bets on outcomes depends on whether there was a Draw option in Sports.
- If a bet on a draw was not offered and there was no extra time in the match, then in the event of a draw, all bets on the selection are settled as a push.
- If the Draw selection was available in Sports, then in the event of an equal score at the end of regular time, bets on a win are settled as a loss.
