It should count for spread but not total. They need to change this once and for all or give you an option to opt out of overtime!

Don't know if any POPULAR books offer it but possibly look for any bets with the condition (like in soccer and NHL hockey) "in regulation?" I'm afraid that IF ANY book DID offer that for American sports, those books would be the less trustworthy, smaller, obscure online books.

Since I've been betting soccer more, I'm really surprised that books don't have the "3 way" ml bets (Team A, Team B, TIE in regulation) with slightly increased odds for the favorites for ALL games. What we're (as Americans) used to, is the traditional 2 way money line (Team A or Team B, NO TIE). Sure only a couple of handful of games actually TIE and go into OT but that "tie" bet would help the bookies clean up even MORE for some situations...

Going to OT is as with anything else in sports betting, a double edged sword. Sometimes it helps ya, thumbs_upmoneyeyes sometimes it don't.. thumbs_downan_burningbag

OT shouldn't count. Cappers are at war with Vegas and it takes hard work the cappers put in out of the equation. Advantage Vegas. 

 

Totals and lines should end at regulation.

Wow, this is some stupid shit. Should I also be able to opt out at halftime if a team is covering the game spread? Cause that would be awesome.  

You even got someone to agree an_roll_laugh

 Overtime counts for the total in NHL, as well as shoot winner is given 1 goal that counts as the total as well ????

 Halftime is just a break in the process of a game. If you can't add up that cappers cap a game within regulation for totals and spreads and they do not consider the low percentage overtime takes place you're someone I wouldn't hire to mow my grass.
