Football Rules: Player to Score in Both Halves
Market description: Predict a player to score in both halves of a match.
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. Own goals don't count towards goals scored.
4. If the selected player doesn't start the match but enters the field of play during the first half, bets placed on that player in this market will stand.
5. If the selected player leaves the field of play without scoring in both halves, bets placed on that player in this market will have lost and will be settled as losers as long as they were on the field of play in both halves.
6. If the selected player takes no part in either half, bets placed on that player in this market will be void.
7. If a match is postponed, normal postponed match rules apply.
8. If a match is abandoned, normal abandoned match rules apply.
- If a winning selection has been established in the time played before abandonment, bets placed on that player in this market will have already won and will be settled as winners.
- If the match is abandoned during the first half and the selected player is still on the field of play, bets placed on that player in this market will be void, subject to normal abandoned match rules, because the match didn't play for the full duration.
- If the match is abandoned during the second half and the selected player hasn't scored a goal during the first half, bets placed on that player in this market will have already lost.
- If the selected player has left the field of play without scoring in both halves in the time played before abandonment, bets placed on that player in this market will have already lost.
9. 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.
