What is an added game in sports betting?
The short answer
A game posted to the betting board after the initial schedule and rotation were released — often a rescheduled or late-announced matchup. Books usually open added games with lower limits.

In plain English
A game that shows up on the board after the main slate is already posted — a makeup date, a rescheduled kickoff, a late-confirmed matchup. Books have had less time to price it and usually cap how much you can bet on it.
