Football Rules: Player to Score Only in the Second Half
Market description: Predict a player to score only during the second half 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. If the selected player scores in the first half of the match, bets placed on that player in this market will have lost and will be settled as losers.
4. Own goals don't count towards goals scored.
5. If the selected player doesn't start the match, bets placed on that player in this market will be void even if they enter the field of play as a substitute and score only in the second half.
6. If the selected player leaves the field of play having scored in the second half but not having scored in the first half, bets placed on that player in this market will have won and will be settled as winners.
7. If the selected player leaves the field of play having scored in the first half and/or without scoring in the second half, bets placed on that player in this market will have lost and will be settled as losers.
8. If the selected player takes no part in the match, bets placed on that player in this market will be void.
9. If a match is postponed, normal postponed match rules apply.
10. If a match is abandoned, normal abandoned match rules apply.
- If the selected player didn't score in the first half and scored in the time played before abandonment in the second half, bets placed on that player in this market will have already won and will be settled as winners.
- If the selected player scored in 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 the second half in the time played before abandonment, bets placed on that player in this market will have already lost.
- If the selected player is still on the field of play and hasn't scored in the second half in the time played before abandonment, 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.
11. Settlement of all stats markets will be based on data provided by OPTA (Part of the Stats Perform Group).
