Those who gamble on sporting events use OTB to mean "off the board." A game that is OTB is not available to bet on currently (but may return to the board later, with adjusted odds).
Most commonly, bookies take a game OTB in response to a significant event that will likely alter the game's outcome. For example, if a game changes from home to away, or a player gets hurt before the game, the game may go OTB.
