Football Rules: Total Match Goals / Total Number of Goals Live


Total Match Goals

Market description: Select the total number of goals scored in a match from the following options:

  • 0
  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
  • 6 or more

 

1. Bets are settled on the events that occur in normal time. This includes any injury/stoppage time added on by the match official at the end of normal time.

2. Extra time doesn't count.

3. If the final score is 0-0, the winning selection in the market will be zero/none.

4. If a match is postponed, normal postponed match rules apply.

5. If a match is abandoned, normal abandoned match rules apply.

  • If a match is abandoned and six (6) or more goals have been scored in the time played before abandonment, bets placed on that selection in this market will have already won and will be settled as winners. Bets placed on the under selection in this market will have already lost.
  • If a match is abandoned and less than six (6) goals have been scored in the time played before abandonment, bets placed will be void, subject to normal abandoned match rules, because the match didn't play for the full duration.

6. Settlement of all stats markets will be based on data provided by OPTA (Part of the Stats Perform Group).

  • OPTA stats are available here.
  • OPTA may occasionally go back and make amendments to ensure accuracy. We'll settle all markets based on their final decision.
  • Adjustments to the settlement of markets won't be made for changes or adjudications made by governing bodies after the event.
  • OPTA have a long-established list of ‘Event Definitions’ which are adhered to across all of their data collection centres. They can be accessed here.
