4th Quarter Moneyline Bets: These bets are put on the team to win the fourth quarter in a straight up fashion. The bets will be settled at the outright price, and you have the choice of betting on home, away, or draw. In other words, if the Yankees were to win the fourth quarter, they would be worth +140 because they won three out of four games during that period. If they lost, however, they would be worth -150 because they went 0-4 in the last quarter. The money line odds reflect this fact; the Yankees are considered -170 winners because they are returned as such. A return of -140 means the Yanks are rated as +30 underdogs. The 4th quarter market opens about two months before the end of the season, so by that time all relevant data has been collected and analyzed. Pinnacle's software uses this information to generate a list of teams that are likely to come out on top at the end of each quarter. For example, early in the 4th quarter it may be predicted that the San Francisco Giants will beat the Arizona Diamondbacks with a score of 5-4. This means the software has calculated that the Giants are 35% likely to win game five compared to 65% likely to lose. It also means the software believes that there is a 35% chance that the series will go seven games instead of six.
