Do you tend to bet on overtime in the NBA?

[Bigron]

Every match is taken to overtime when the score is deadlocked after regulation time of 4 twelve-minute quarters. In the NBA, this entails adding a fifth quarter of five minutes in duration, during which the two sides once more compete to win. After 53 minutes of play, the game is over if one team scored more points compared to the other. The play goes to double overtime if the score is still tied, etc. So do any of you bet on the likelihood of overtime occurring in a basketball game?

Unless you are making a bet on how many points will be scored or who will be leading in a particular part of the game, betting on overtime in an NBA game is exactly the same as betting on a game that ends in regulation. Namely, everything counts.

I have seen options in the market which allow punters to stake on whether they believe that there will be overtime at the end of the match due to the result ending in a draw. My gripe is that the odds for predicting the absence of overtime are extremely meagre.
