“Open spots” are empty placeholders within a multi-leg wager (typically a parlay, sometimes a teaser). A ticket may be initiated with one or more confirmed selections while leaving additional slots open to be filled later, usually within a sportsbook-defined time window. When a selection is added to an open spot, it becomes an irrevocable component of the ticket, and the parlay continues to settle as each leg is graded. Open spot is not a separate bet; it is a reserved slot within an existing multi-leg ticket to be completed later when suitable value is available.

It’s common in sports where a tie is realistic in regulation time — soccer, hockey (60 minutes), some international basketball, and certain tournaments. If you’ve ever wondered what does moneyline 3 way mean, the key is simple: you’re betting on the 90/60-minute result (including stoppage time), not the outcome after overtime or a shootout.
