The Points Race market, also known as First to “X” Points or Points Race, allows bettors to predict which team will reach a certain number of points first.
For example, if the sportsbook sets the point threshold at 20, bettors can choose between the competing teams to bet on which one will reach that number first. Point options typically include 10, 20, or 30.
Example:
✅ In the game between the Mavericks and Hawks, if you bet that the Mavericks will be the first to score 20 points and they do, you win the bet.
❌ On the other hand, if you bet that the Hawks will be the first to score 15 points, but the Mavericks do it first, you lose the bet.
