“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.
