== Grading Rules ==
The majority of sportsbooks will include overtime scoring when grading a total. Specific rules regarding total wagers vary by sport. Below are common total grading policies, however bettors should verify those of their respective bookmaker before placing a bet.
=== Baseball ===
If the starting pitchers are listed and a pitching change occurs prior to both pitchers throwing the first pitch then total wagers will be graded no action and bets refunded. Matches must go at least 9 innings (or 8.5 if the home team is leading) for total wagers to have action. This includes situations where the total has been decided but the game is not completed. Extra innings runs are included in the grading of baseball total wagers.
=== Basketball ===
NBA games require a minimum of 43 minutes game time in order for total wagers to have action. Other basketball leagues require at least 35 minutes for action. Overtime scoring is included in the grading of basketball total wagers.
=== Football ===
American football matches require a minimum of 55 minutes game time in order for total wagers to have action. Overtime scoring is included in the grading of football total wagers.
=== Hockey ===
Hockey matches must go a minimum of 55 minutes in order for total wagers to have action. The additional goal from matches going to extra time (overtime or shootout) will count towards the total if the market is not restricted to regulation time only.
=== Tennis ===
Total bets can be placed based on the combined number of sets or games played in a given tennis match. If one of the competing players cannot complete the match and retires both game and set totals will be graded no action and bets refunded.
=== Soccer ===
Soccer matches must reach full time in order for total wagers to have action. Goals scored in stoppage time will count towards the total. Goals scored in extra time will not count towards the total.
