- What happens to your over/under, total bet when an NHL game reaches overtime?
- What about a total bet when the game you bet on reaches a shootout?
- This explainer tells you how sportsbook grades bets on the over/under, moneyline, spread and total in the event of extra hockey.
So'you bet the over on a game involving your favorite hockey team. They come-from-behind to tie the game 3-3 before the end of regulation and the contest goes into overtime.
Then, another five minutes of no scoring forces a shootout.
If the total was at 6.5 goals, would a shootout win from either team count as another goal, netting your over?
The answer is a resounding yes. You already won your bet the second the game entered OT.
