A quarter-final cannot end in a draw over 90 minutes and walk away, which changes both the markets on offer and how each one settles. This is a market guide for world cup quarter-finals betting on a crypto sportsbook: which markets a knockout tie carries, how they resolve when extra time and penalties enter, and three platforms carrying them. It covers the mechanics of the board, not which team to back, since no guide can call a knockout. The Quarter-Final Line-Up Three of the four ties are set.
