These markets focus on the point differential between Vanderbilt and Kentucky exclusively during the final quarter of their college football matchup. Outcomes depend on whether either team achieves specific scoring margins in that timeframe, reflecting potential momentum shifts or dominant performances in the closing stages of the game.
All markets resolve based solely on points scored during the fourth quarter of play, excluding any overtime periods. A win by the specified team exceeding the designated point margin during this quarter triggers a 'Yes' resolution. If the game is postponed but commences within 48 hours of its original scheduled start time, markets remain active and resolve according to the final result. Should the game fail to start within this 48-hour window, all markets settle at a fair price, ensuring equitable treatment for all participants regardless of game timing or circumstances.
