Football Rules: Highest Scoring Half
Market description: Predict the half of a match in which the most goals will be scored.
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 an equal number of goals are scored in each half, the winning selection in this market will be a draw.
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 during the second half and more goals have been scored in the time played before abandonment in the second half than were scored in the entire first half, bets placed on the second half in this market will have already won and will be settled as winners. Bets placed on the first half in this market will have already lost.
- If a match is abandoned during the second half and fewer goals have been scored in the time played before abandonment in the second half than were scored in the first half, bets placed on this market will be void because the half didn't play for the full duration.
- If a match is abandoned during the first half bets placed on this market will be void because the half 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.
